摘要
The synergistic effects of oxygen concentration and strain rate on the low cycle fatigue behavior of a 9Cr-1Mo steel have been investigated in lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) at 350 degrees C. The results showed substantial fatigue life reduction due to liquid metal embrittlement (LME), compared to vacuum. Nevertheless, no evident life degradation was observed under a combination of low strain amplitude, high oxygen concentration in LBE and slow strain rate. This is because fatigue crack initiation was delayed by surface oxide films, rather than because LME disappeared. Fatigue crack propagation remained unaffected by oxygen concentration. A new LME mechanism is proposed. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
