Low-cycle fatigue tests have been carried out at 2 cpm on a pressure vessel steel at 350 deg C (662 deg F). The total strain range was fixed for each test and the minimum (or mean) strain in some cases was constant (zero minimum value), in others increased uniformly in time at a predetermined rate. It was found that variations in the mean strain up to 0.5 percent/hour had no significant influence on the results.

The low-to-intermediate cycle fatigue behavior of A533B steel is investigated using solid round bar specimens tested in combined bending and torsion. Loadings are applied in-phase and 90 deg out-of-phase to produce cases of proportional and nonproportional biaxial fatigue. Out-of-phase loadings are found to be more damaging than in-phase loadings. Two equivalent strain criteria similar to those in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and a newer approach based on cyclic plastic work are used to correlate fatigue lives. The equivalent strain criteria are found to underestimate the fatigue damage in out-of-phase tests, but to provide reasonably good correlations overall. The plastic work approach provides a conservative treatment of the out-of-phase data and somewhat better overall correlation. Cracking behavior observed during the tests is also summarized.
