Low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests are performed on CP-Tiat different temperatures (293K,423K and 523K). It is found that the fatigue life of CP-Tidecreases with temperature. A short cycle hardening phenomenon occurs at the beginning of cyclic deformationat 293K and 423K, followed by cyclic softening untilfailure. At 523K, cycle hardening isexhibited throughout the entire cycle until thefracture. The fatigue-life curves obtained from the tests are constructed using Coffin-Manson-Basquin model. According to the relationship between the four parameters of Coffin-Manson-Basquin model and temperature, the temperature-based life prediction model is further proposed. Scanning electron microscopy observation of fatigue fractures showsthat the fatigue cracks of CP-Tiat 423K and 523K under different strain amplitudes initiate on the surface of fatigue specimens and extend to the fracture zone by the transgranular mode.

Co -base superalloys have been applied in the stationary components of gas turbine owing to their excellent high temperature properties. Low cycle fatigue data on ECY-768 reported in a companion paper were used to evaluate fatigue life prediction models. In this study, low cycle fatigue tests are performed as the variables of total strain range and temperatures. The relations between plastic and total strain energy densities and number of cycles to failure are examined in order to predict the low cycle fatigue life of Cobalt-based super alloy at different temperatures. The fatigue lives is evaluated using predicted by Coffin-Manson method and strain energy methods is compared with the measured fatigue lives at different temperatures. The microstructure observing was performed for how affect able to low-cycle fatigue life by increasing the temperature.

Low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests were performed with different strain amplitudes from 0.4% to 1.2% at room temperature (RT) to investigate fatigue life and fracture morphology of TP347H austenitic stainless steels. The results show that there is initial cyclic hardening for a few cycles, followed by continuous softening until fatigue failure at all strain amplitudes in stress response curves. The fatigue life of the steels follows the strain-life Coffin-Manson law. Fracture morphology shows that fatigue cracks initiate from the specimen free surface instead of the interior of the specimen, and ductile fracture appears during LCF loading. More sites of crack initiation and quicker propagation rate of fatigue crack at high strain amplitudes than those at low strain amplitudes are responsible for reduced fatigue life with the increasing of strain amplitude.

The low-cycle fatigue behavior and the relationship between the surface features in the low-cycle fatigue testing and the fatigue life of Sn-3.5Ag and Sn-0.7Cu lead-free solders were investigated at strain rate of 0.1%/s at room temperature, 80 and 120oC. In addition, the fatigue life was estimated by using the surface deformation of the solders, and image processing. And also, it was compared with Coffin-Manson type of fatigue behavior. The fatigue life of Sn-3.5Ag solder was superior to that of Sn-0.7Cu solder at temperatures, 80 and 120oC. The fatigue life determined by surface deformation indicated a close behavior to Coffin-Manson type fatigue behavior in those solders. Therefore the low-cycle fatigue life of solders could be estimated by the surface deformation.

Smooth and notched mechanical components made of metals frequently experience repeated cyclic loads at different temperatures. Thus, low cycle fatigue (LCF) is considered the dominant failure mode for these components. Stainless steel (SS) is the most widely selected material by engineers owing to its outstanding mechanical and LCF and anti-corrosion properties. Moreover, a reliable estimation of the fatigue life is essential in order to preserve people’s safety in industries. In the present study, an evaluation of some of the commonly known low cycle fatigue life methodologies are performed for notched and un-notched samples made of 316L (N) SS at ambient and higher temperatures. For the notched samples, the elastic–plastic strains were firstly determined and then the fatigue lives were estimated for constant nominal strain amplitudes, varying from ±0.4% to ±0.8%. A comparison between the calculated fatigue lives and those obtained experimentally from the literature was made. Overall, some of the widely used fatigue life prediction methods for smooth specimens have resulted in unsafe estimations for applied strain amplitudes ranging from ±0.3% to ±1.0%, and those of the notched specimens were generally found to give strongly conservative predictions. To overcome this problem, attempts were made to suggest new parameters that can precisely assess the lifetimes of smooth samples, and a new equation was suggested for notched samples under both room and high temperatures.

Recently, most of fatigue cracks in ship structures are reported within a few years after delivery. This type of fatigue characteristics cannot be explained adequately by the S-N curve based on high cycle fatigue. Calculation results under critical loading conditions reveal that stress magnitude higher than three times the yield stress occurs at some critical locations. It shows the fatigue cracks are related to low cycle fatigue. But the existing recommended design procedures in maritime industry do not properly cover low cycle fatigue problems. This work represents the first step in an effort to develop a design code that addresses low cycle fatigue problems. Low cycle fatigue test for uniform round specimen made of base/weld metal and for cruciform welded joint are carried out under constant amplitude alternating load, controlled by strain. Strain-cycle curves for the base metal and weld joints show good agreement with published data as well as some code recommended design curves.

A reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic (RAF/M) steel, JLF-1, is considered as one of the candidate structure material of the fusion reactors and supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR). Low cycle fatigue properties of JLF-1 steel at elevated temperature are the design base to provide adequate design margin against postulated mechanism that could experience during its design life, such as stress range, plastic deformation, and cyclic softening etc. However, the reduction in design margin is significant when the cyclic softening happens in cyclic deformation at RT, 673K, 873K. Thus, for the application as the structural materials, it is necessary to evaluate low cycle fatigue behavior and cyclic softening of JLF-1 steel at elevated temperature since those properties of material at elevated temperature are the key issue for design.

Fatigue is the most critical failure mode of many mechanical component. Therefore, fatigue life assessment under fluctuating loads during component development is essential. The most important requirement for any fatigue life assessment is knowledge of the relationships between stresses, strains, and fatigue life for the material under consideration. These relationships, for any given material, are mostly unique and dependent on its fatigue behavior. Since the work of Wöhler in the 1850’s, the uniaxial stress versus cycles to fatigue failure, which is known as the S-N curve, is typically utilized for high-cycle fatigue. In general, high cycle fatigue implies linear elastic behavior and causes failure after more than 104 or 105 cycles. However. the transition from low cycle fatigue to high cycle fatigue, which is unique for each material based on its properties, has not been well examined. In this paper, this transition is studied and a material dependent number of cycles for the transition is derived based on the material properties. Some implications of this derivation, on assessing and approximating the crack initiation fatigue life, are also discussed.
