Strain Controlled Low Cycle Fatigue Behaviour of Type 304 SS Base, Type 308 SS Weld and 304/308 SS Weldments

Abstract

The emergence of liquid metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR) technology made it necessary to use austenitic stainless steels at elevated temperatures where the mechanical properties are significantly influenced by time and cycle dependent phenomenon such as creep and low cycle fatigue (LCF).
