G. Wheatley et al., EFFECT OF LOW-CYCLE FATIGUE ON SUBSEQUENT HIGH-CYCLE FATIGUE LIFE OF 316L STAINLESS-STEEL, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 254(1-2), 1998, pp. 315-316
The effect of low cycle fatigue (LCF) on the subsequent high cycle fat
igue (HCF) life of a 316L steel was investigated. A spectacular increa
se of HCF life following a certain number of LCF cycles is reported. A
further increase in the number of LCF cycles leads to a drop in HCF l
