Abstract

Abstract The low-cycle fatigue behaviour of a duplex stainless steel, 60 % ferrite — 40 % austenite, is studied under tension-compression/torsion loading at room temperature. It is shown that the duplex stainless steel has an isotropic behaviour under cyclic proportional loading. The non-proportional loading paths induce an extra-hardening, but lower on duplex stainless steel than on austenitic stainless steels. Three models able to account for the extra-hardening are identified and tested on the experimental data base. Two of them give accurate predictions.
