Objectives In November 2012, EPRI gap report, Environmentally Assisted Fatigue Gap Analysis and Roadmap for Future Research, Roadmap, 1026724, Final Report was issued.

Gap 15 Non-Isothermal S-N Testing

- Limited data available on the influence of variable temperature and variable strain rate within test cycles and of the influence of out-of-phase variations of temperature and strain rate

- Influence of in-phase and out-of-phase temperature and strain variations to be identified by comparison with isothermal tests.

- Austenitic stainless steels in PWR environmental are highest priority Non-isothermal & isothermal testing has been performed to address Gap 15.

I1-2(325°C) testing by hollow specimens, of which material, strain rate 1.E-02 I1-3(100°C) and temperature condition are identified, are compared I1-4(325°C) with the above correlation between da/dN and K(eff).

Because of plastic region, specimen shape, aspect ratio and so on, these prediction was not consist with measured 1.E-03 da/dN and should be corrected.

Dcp is defined as the plastic correction factor. Then K(eff) Dcp=0.628 can be converted to K(eff) +2

Conclusions The comparison between the experimental fatigue lives and the predicted fatigue lives with the factor that considered the material variability showed that the experimental fatigue lives of non-isothermal condition were greater than the predicted fatigue lives.

The da/dN curves of the non-isothermal tests do not show great difference while those of the isothermal tests depended on the temperature and the strain history.

It is suggested that the effect of EAF on fatigue crack growth for non-isothermal condition is different from isothermal condition and/or the relation between microstructurally small crack (MSC) stage (Stage I) and crack growth stage (Stage II) for non-isothermal condition is different from isothermal condition.

The WKR method was modified to apply to non-isothermal condition by incorporating K and plastic correction. This extended WKR method was applied to the isothermal and non-isothermal tests and could estimate the test data with the factor of 2.

Main crack growth could be effected by interference by sub cracks 17
