description As a newly developed gun barrel steel, the novel steel has shown excellent high-temperature strength, high resistance to wear and erosion, contributing to the superior ballistic life of gun barrels. As ballistic life increases, the fatigue life becomes essential for the safety and reliability of gun barrels. This paper presents a comparison of the low cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviors between a novel steel and 30SiMn2MoV steel at 700 °C. A strain-controlled fatigue test was carried out on the novel steel and 30SiMn2MoV steel in the strain range from 0.2 to 0.6%. The cyclic stress response behaviors of the novel steel and 30SiMn2MoV steel show cyclic softening behavior. In addition, the shape of the hysteresis rings of the novel steel and 30SiMn2MoV steel exhibit no-Masing model behavior. Energy–life relationships results show that the novel steel has higher fatigue resistance than the 30SiMn2MoV steel at 700 °C. The results of fatigue fracture analysis show that the failure mode of the 30SiMn2MoV steel is a mixed mode of intergranular fracture and transgranular fracture, while the failure mode of the novel steel is intergranular fracture. The cyclic softening of the two materials can be attributed to the lath structure with a high density of dislocations gradually transforms into low energy subcrystalline and cellular structures at 700 °C. The novel steel has a better fatigue life than the 30SiMn2MoV steel at 700 °C and different strain amplitudes, which is mainly related to the carbides and lath martensite in the materials.
