Push-pull and reversed torsion tests were carried out for notched, precracked, and smooth hollow cylindrical specimens of type 304 stainless steel at 923K in air. This paper describes the crack direction in the three types of specimens and the parameter that correlates the biaxial low cycle fatigue failure data. All types of specimens, except the smooth specimen in the reversed torsion test, failed by mode I cracking. Failure life of the specimens was discussed in connection with the crack mode. The equivalent stress based on COD could correlate the biaxial fatigue data whereas the Mises’ equivalent stress and the maximum principal stress could not.

This paper describes the crack growth direction in biaxial low cycle fatigue under combined axial and torsional stresses in hollow cylindrical specimens of type 304 stainless steel at 923 K in air. Three types of crack are identified, namely macrocrack greater than 1 mm in length, subcracks between 0.1 mm and 1.0 mm in length, and microcracks less than 0.1 mm in length. The macrocrack direction as well as that of the subcrack depends on the principal strain ratio but the microcrack is mode I for all the principal strain ranges tested. The connection of the three types of crack is discussed in relation to the surface oxidation. Typical strain stress and criteria for the biaxial low cycle fatigue failure are applied to the experimental data and their applicability is discussed.

This paper assesses the high-temperature low-cycle fatigue of the Type 304 stainless steel and Alloy 718 superalloy friction-welded joints. Strain controlled low-cycle fatigue tests for 304-304 and 718-718 friction-welded specimens were carried out at 923K in air to obtain the fatigue strength of the joints. These materials were selected as the cyclic hardening and softening materials, respectively. The 304-304 welded specimens showed inferior fatigue strength in comparison with the base metal while the 718-718 specimens exhibited fatigue strength equivalent to that of the base metal. The difference in the fatigue strength between the two materials is discussed from the viewpoint of the cyclic deformation behavior and strain reduction at weld interface.
