Abstract
To study the fatigue failure and microstructure evolution behavior of SS304, low-cycle fatigue tests are conducted at room temperature (RT), 300 °C, and 650 °C. The results indicate that, because of the influence of the dislocation walls, carbon-containing precipitates, and deformation twins, the cyclic hardening behavior is presented at RT. However, different from the cyclic hardening behavior at RT, the cyclic softening behavior of SS304 can be observed due to the dynamic recovery and recrystallization containing dislocation rearrangement and annihilation at 300 °C and 650 °C. In addition, two fatigue crack initiation modes are observed. At RT, the single fatigue crack initiation mode is observed. At high temperatures, multiple crack initiation modes are presented, resulting from the degradation of material properties. Furthermore, a new fatigue life prediction model considering the temperature is conducted as a reference for industrial applications.
