Abstract
Abstract Low cycle fatigue of SAF 2507 duplex stainless steel has been studied at different temperatures in two thermal conditions: unaged (as-received) and aged (100 hours at 475°C). The corresponding cyclic flow stress components, the friction, σF, and the back stresses, σB, have been analyzed in relation to the observed microstructure. σF attains higher values at room temperature than in the intermediate range of temperatures in both thermal conditions due to the influence of the lattice friction stress on screw dislocations in the ferrite phase. The cyclic softening observed at all temperatures in aged samples is caused by the decrease of the back stress σB. The increase of σB in unaged samples at 300°C is consistent with the high dislocation density observed in the ferrite phase ascribed as a typical manifestation of dynamic strain aging.
