| Abstract |
| S-N fatigue behavior of cast 304 stainless steel was studied at 25, -50 and -196℃ and at a stress ratio of -1 in uniaxial and bending loading condition. It was found that the resistance to S-N fatigue was greatly improved with decreasing testing temperature. The normalized S-N fatigue curves by tensile strength at three different testing temperatures matched each other, suggesting that tensile strength determines the S-N fatigue resistance of cast 304 stainless steel at low temperatures. The effectsof different loading on the resistance to S-N fatigue of cast 304 stainless steel were quantified. The S-N fatigue curves at 25, -50 and -196℃ were described by using Basquin`s law the relationship between the S-N fatigue curve and the testing temperature was obtained by using a simple regression method. |
