Abstract

This paper describes the biaxial low cycle fatigue of unaged and aged 1Cr-1Mo-1/4V rotor steels at 823 K in air. Combined push-pull and reversed torsion tests were carried out on these steels and the biaxial fatigue data were obtained. Aging significantly reduced the hardness of the steel but had no effect on the crack direction in biaxial low cycle fatigue. Aging also had no effect on the data correlation using the biaxial strain parameters, but had a significant effect on the data correlation using the biaxial stress parameters. The change in the effective stress parameter in correlating the biaxial fatigue data due to aging is discussed in connection with the material softening.
