Corrosion-fatigue crack growth tests are known to be considerably time consuming, particularly due to low loading frequencies which often result in several months of testing. This study focuses on development of a material ...

This paper presents a study on the effect of microstructure on the fatigue crack growth (FCG) rate in advanced S355 marine steels in the Paris Region of the da/dN versus ΔK log–log plot. The environments of study were air ...

The fact that the microstructure of steel depends on its composition and the heat treatment given to it has been heavily exploited in the design of steel for power plant applications. To obtain a steel that can function ...
