Effect of Artificial Defects on the Very High Cycle Fatigue Behavior of 316L Stainless Steel

Widely used for structural materials in nuclear engineering, 316L austenitic stainless steel undergoes very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) throughout its service life. Since defects caused by service conditions are unavoidable in many engineering components during service life, the effects should be prop...
