Thermal-Fatigue Of Type 304 Stainless Steel, Gajinder Bir Singh Arora
Thermal-Fatigue Of Type 304 Stainless Steel, Gajinder Bir Singh Arora
Masters Theses
"Thermal fatigue resistance of unrestrained samples of type 304 stainless steel has been investigated under different test conditions. The following studies are reported: (a) effects of heating and cooling rates on the initiation of cracks, (b) effects of upper and lower cycle temperatures on the initiation of cracks, (c) effect of water quenching and (d) the manner in which cracks initiated and propagated. It is shown that under cyclic conditions involving maximum temperatures up to 1000°C, the thermal fatigue life of the material decreases rapidly with rise in the maximum temperature of the cycle. The increase in the lower cycle …
