Investigation on mechanical Properties of 302 L stainless steel sheets under constant amplitude loading

الملخص EN

In this study, the mechanical properties i.e., fatigue strength and fatigue crack growth (FCG) behaviour of 302 L stainless steel (S.S.) sheets with different thicknesses (0.05 mm, 0.1 mm and 1.5 mm) were investigated.

The experimental investigation as well as fatigue life predication by using Walker model were performed.

The FCG specimens were prepared according to the ASTM E647-08 standard.

The results showed that S.S.

sheet with 0.05 mm thickness exhibited higher tensile strength but limited ductility with no clear evidence of yielding as compared to 0.1 mm and 1.5 mm thickness.
