Introduction

The DFC1/DFC2 subcommittee has not only developed a new fatigue evaluation method but also produced beneficial outcomes. To support this study, a Japanese utility project performed not only large scale fatigue tests using carbon & low-alloy steel flat plates and austenitic stainless steel piping but also fatigue tests using small specimens to obtain not only basic data but also fatigue data of mean stress effect.

Fatigue life of a small specimen is generally defined as the number of cycles by 25% load drop, and this is considered to correspond to 3mm-deep crack in the test specimen.

Hence, the fatigue lives of the large-scale fatigue tests are compared with the best-fit curve developed by the DFC1 subcommittee and the fatigue lives obtained by the small specimen fatigue tests.

In this presentation, the fatigue tests using small specimens and large scale fatigue tests using carbon & low-alloy steel flat plates and austenitic stainless steel piping are summarized.

Conclusions

To support the new fatigue evaluation method by DFC1/DFC2 subcommittee, a Japanese utility project performed not only large scale fatigue tests using carbon & low-alloy steel flat plates and austenitic stainless steel piping but also fatigue tests using small specimens to obtain not only basic data but also fatigue data of mean stress effect.

The fatigue lives of not only the small specimens but also the CS & LAS plates and the stainless steel pipes are close to the best-fit curve developed by the DFC1 subcommittee, and the size effect can be considered as negligible.

The mean stress effect is remarkable in materials with higher tensile strength. The correction of mean stress effect with the S-W-T approach shows good agreement with the BFCs.
