FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION IN HIGH STRENGTH LOW ALLOY STEEL PLATE, BAR AND FORGINGS

This item presents fatigue crack propagation rate data in terms of linear elastic fracture mechanics. Data are presented on the rate of growth of fatigue cracks in high strength ((f sub t) = or > 850 MN/sq m)) low alloy steel plate, bar and forgings. A low alloy steel is defined in the case as a steel where the percentage contribution of any particular alloying element is less than 5 per cent. The chemical composition and mechanical properties of the materials are given and are tabulated in order of increasing value of their 0.2 per cent proof stresses.
