Abstract
Both EBSD and AFM methods were used to investigate the active slip systems and fatigue crack initiation behavior in face-centered cubic polycrystalline metal, austenitic stainless steel, SUS316NG, under cyclic torsional loading. Most active slip planes are the primary slip planes having the largest Schmid factor. Grains with slip band cracks or transcrystalline cracks have larger Taylor's factors. On the basis of EBSD and AFM observations, h, the depth of intrusion vertical to the surface, S, and the component of the slip displacement perpendicular to the surface trace, SB, showed a sharp increase at the onset of crack initiation. The critical value of SB at crack initiation was 170 nm.
