Mean Stress Effect on the Fatigue Life of 304L Austenitic Steel in Air and PWR Environments Determined with Strain- and Load-Controlled Experiments

The mean stress effect on the fatigue life of 304L austenitic steel was evaluated at 300 °C in air and pressurized water reactor (PWR) environments. Uniaxial tests were performed in strain-control and load-control modes, with zero mean stress and a positive mean stress of 50 MPa. A specific procedur...
