Figure 7 shows the engineering stress-strain curves of UFG 301 SS with various grain sizes for tension. Huang et al used the Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) technique to vary the microstructure of 301 SS. Figure 8 shows the corresponding true stress-strain curves for this experiment along with the strain hardening rate true strain curves.

Fatigue Stress-Life Curves for 301 SS

Figure 9 shows a fatigue stress-life plot for 301 SS 50% cold rolled with a mean stress of 40000 psi (276 MPa). The figure shows results for an unnotched and notched case. Both Figures 9 and 10 are for a preexposure static test.

Figure 10 shows a fatigue stress-life plot for 301 SS 50% cold rolled with a mean stress of 40000 psi (276 MPa). This S-N curve is for a fusion-weld and a spot-weld.
