Abstract
Low-carbon, nitrogen-controlled 316 stainless steel called 316FR was developed and is regarded as a principal candidate for a main structural material of liquid metal-cooled fast breeder reactor plants in Japan. To develop a creep-fatigue evaluation method suitable for this steel, a number of uniaxial creep-fatigue tests have been conducted for three products of this steel. Long-term data up to about 35,000 h were obtained and applicability of failure life prediction methods was studied based upon their results. Cruciform shaped specimens were also tested under biaxial loading conditions to examine the effect of stress multiaxiality on failure life under creep-fatigue condition.
