This paper presents the ability of plasma electrolytic polishing technology to polish surface of stainless steel materials. The results show that the surface of its can be polished clearly using potentiostatic regimes in various concentration of $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ solution that had been warmed to a certain initial temperature. The equipment and deposition produces for polishing process are described and the effect of processing parameters on the characterizations polishedsamples has been has been investigated.

Monotonic torsional and pure torsional low cycle fatigue(LCF) test with artificial degradation were performed on duplex stainless steel(CF8M). CF8M is used in pipes and valves in nuclear reactor coolant system. It was aged at 430$^{\circ}C$ for 3600hrs. Through the monotonic and LCF test, it is found that mechanical properties(i.e., yield strength, strain hardening exponent, strength coefficient etc.) increase and fatigue life(N$\sub$f/) decreases with degradation of material. The relationship between shear strain amplitude(${\gamma}$$\sub$a/)and N$\sub$f/ was proposed.
