These steels were subjected to fatigue tests under constant amplitude loading of frequency 10 Hz and stress ratios R = 0.1 and 0.9, in vacuum, air, and 3.5% NaCl solution. The fatigue crack growth was characterized with two driving force parameters, stress intensity range, ΔK, and maximum Keywords: fatigue, environment, constant amplitude loading, frequency, stress ratio, environmentally assisted cracking (EAC), fractographic features, trajectory path Paper ID: STP11492S Committee/Subcommittee: E08.06 DOI: 10.1520/STP11492S ASTM International is a member of CrossRef. | ||
