The tension-torsion ratcheting boundaries of 316LN austenitic stainless steel under room temperature and 350 ^o^C were determined by efficiency curve method. The iso-cumulative plastic strain curves of the material were obtained through numerical interpolation method. It is indicated that the primary stress and secondary stress range increase with the increase of cumulative plastic deformation. Under the same cumulative plastic strain, the iso-cumulative plastic strain curve at 350 ^o^C is higher than that at room temperature. The effective primary stress was introduced to obtain ratcheting boundary curves. The results show that the material at 350 ^o^C has a higher ratcheting boundary compared with that at room temperature. It is indicated that, under equivalent stress condition, the bearing capacity of 316LN at 350 ^o^C is stronger than that at room temperature. This is due to the dynamic strain aging of the material at high temperature. At 350 ^o^C, the solid solution atoms and dislocations are pinned together, which leads to a strengthening effect on the material. The ratcheting boundary curves determined in this study are compared with relevant standards. The test results suggest that the material served in different environments should be checked by different ratcheting boundary curves.

PVP2020 - Virtual Conference

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
