Abstract

This work presents an experimental investigation of the effects of plastic strain on the fatigue behavior of superduplex steel tubes. Fatigue tests using conventional axial loading and a resonant bending setup conducted on 15mm OD tubes made of SAF2507 superduplex steel provides S × N data upon which effects of different levels of plastic strain can be assessed. Despite the inherent scatter in the measured fatigue data, the experiments reveal consistent trends and relatively small effects of plastic strain on fatigue behavior of superduplex steel tubes.
