Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior of 316LN Stainless Steel with Different Nitrogen Contents
Abstract Fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests were carried out at ambient temperature in air for 316 L (N) stainless steel varying with nitrogen (0.08, 0.14 and 0.22N (wt %)) designated as 8N, 14N and 22N. The crack growth was monitored with direct...
