Abstract:In order to investigate the hydrogen gas effect on the fatigue limits of austenitic stainless steels, SUS304 and SUS316L, with small twin blind holes, metal fatigue tests were carried out in low pressure hydrogen gas, in air and in inert gases; i.e., argon or nitrogen. The fatigue limit of SUS304 is defined as the crack propagation limit not only in air, but also in hydrogen and nitrogen. The fatigue limit of SUS304 in hydrogen gas is slightly higher than that in air. The extremely low Fatigue Crack Growth Rat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
