Low Tension-Tension Cycle Fatigue Properties of 301 Stainless Steel Thin Sheets

Abstract:

By using of a micro mechanical fatigue testing system, low tension-tension cycle fatigue properties of 301 stainless steel thin sheets with a thickness of 0.1 mm were studied. The effects of loading frequency and stress ratio were considered in the tests. The results show the S-N curves descend continuously in the low cycle regime. Cyclic σ-N curve was obtained according to the traditional fatigue theory. It agrees well with the experimental data, showing that the traditional fatigue research methods are also suitable to describe thin sheets in a certain extent. With the increase of loading stress ratio, the fatigue strength of thin sheets is increased. There is an evident effect of frequency on the fatigue behavior of the thin sheets.
