Abstract

This paper investigates the early fracture of the ductile metals under cyclic loading due to the occurrence of temperature-induced buckling (TIB). Extensive experiments with cylindrical dog-bone specimens made of SS316 and SS321 subjected to cyclic loading reveal that TIB occurs at a stress level below the buckling strength and before what inelastic cyclic buckling criterion predicts. It is shown that buckling occurs if the operating stress is at or above a critical limit σTIB and when the specimen's temperature reaches a critical limit, called TTIB. The analysis of the temperature evolution of these materials shows three distinct regions of Pre-TIB, TIB, and rapid failure thereafter. The measured TTIB for SS316 and SS321 are found to be 100 ○C and 130 ○C, respectively. The corresponding σTIB for SS316 and SS321 are 340 MPa and 365 MPa, respectively.
