Dislocation substructure in 316L stainless steel under thermal fatigue up to 650 K

Crack initiation in fatigue: experiments and three-dimensional dislocation simulations

“…The parameters corresponding to 316L stainless steel are those proposed in [6]. The simulation box is taken as a cylinder or half a dodecahedron admitting a diameter comprised between 10 and 22 m. In both cases, one of the surfaces is traction free whereas all the others are considered as impenetrable facets mimicking strong grain boundaries.…”

Numerical simulation of thermal fatigue behavior in a cracked disc of AISI H-11 tool steel

“…Some of the setups include a disc heated by induction on the periphery [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12], triangular blade heated by induction [13], electrical heating of tube followed by water splashing to induce thermal shock [14][15][16][17][18], hot dipping of cylinders in molten aluminum [19,20], laser heating [21,22], focused halogen lamps heating [23,24], convection/combustion heating [25,26], furnace heating with water quenching [27,28] and actual dies [29,30]. Out of these experimental setups most researchers have worked on the heated disc problem.…”

A probabilistic model to predict the formation and propagation of crack networks in thermal fatigue

“…Other experimental facilities have been developed to produce thermal fatigue on tubular specimens (for instance Cythia [27], Biax [28] and Fat3D [29] at the Atomic Research Center (CEA), or Intherpol [30] atÉlectricté de France (EDF)). On some of the previous experimental configurations (namely, Biax and Intherpol), a mean axial stress may be superimposed to the cyclic thermal fatigue loading.…”
