The fatigue life and tensile strength of JLF-1 steel (Fe-9Cr-2W-V-Ta) and its TIG weldment were investigated at the room temperature and $400^{\circ}C$. Four kinds of test specimens, which associated with the rolling direction and the TIG welding direction were machined. The base metal of JLF-1 steel represented almost anisotropy in the tensile properties for the rolling direction. And the base metal of JLF-1 steel showed lower strength than that of TIG weldment. Also, the strength of all materials entirely decreased in accordance with elevating test temperature. Moreover, the fatigue limit of weld metal was largely increase than that of base metal at both temperatures. The fatigue limit of JLF-1 steel decreased in accordance with elevating test temperature. The fatigue limit of JLF-1 steel decreased in accordance with elevating test temperature. The SEM fractography of tensile test specimen showed conspicuous cleavage fracture of a radial shape. In case of fatigue life test specimen, there were so many striations at crack initiation region, and dimple was observed at final fracture region as a ductile fracture mode.

The exhaust systems are usually subjected to vibration or shock at high temperatures. The high temperature fatigue tests of the exhaust systems are rarely performed in domestic industries due to limited number of test facility and high test costs. In this paper, the high temperature fatigue test of some part of the exhaust system, not the whole system, is carried out. The resonator located at the central range is heated in the cylindrical electric furnace and the alternating load is applied on the end of the pipe welded to the resonator. The high temperature fatigue strength of the welded joint is obtained. The location of the fatigue crack is different to that in room temperature.

JLF-1 steel (Fe-9Cr-2W-V-Ta), low activation ferritic steel, is one of the promising candidate materials fer fusion reactor applications. High temperature fatigue life and tensile strength of JLF-1 steel and its TIG welded joints were investigated at the room temperature and $400^{\circ}C$. The strength of base metal (JLF-1) is in between those of weld metal and the HAZ. When the test temperature was increased from room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$, both strength and ductility decreased for base metal, weld metal and the HAZ. The longitudinal specimens of base metal showed similar strength and ductility compared with those of the transverse specimens at room temperature and $400^{\circ}C$. Little anisotropy was observed in the JLF-1 steel base metal in terms of rolling direction. Fatigue limit of weld metal which was obtained from cross-weld specimen is 495MPa. Thus, the weld metal showed the higher fatigue limit than those of base metal at both room temperature and $400^{\circ}C$. Little anisotropy of fatigue properties was observed for JLF-1 base metal in terms of rolling direction. When the test temperature was increased from room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$, the fatigue limit of both base metal and weld metal decreased substantially.

The lightness of components required in automobile and machinery industry is requiring high strength of components. In particular, manufacturing process and new materials development for solving the fatigue fracture problem attendant upon high strength of suspension of automobile are actively advanced. In this paper, the effect of compressive residual stress of spring steel(JISG SUP-9) by shot-peening on fatigue crack growth characteristics in high temperatures($100^{\circ}C,\;150^{\circ}C,\;180^{\circ}C$) was investigated with considering fracture mechanics. So, we can obtain followings. (1) Compressive residual stress is decreased in high temperature, that is, with increasing temperature. (2) The effect of compressive residual stress on fatigue crack growth behavior in high temperature is increased below ${\Delta}K=17{\sim}19MPa\sqrt{m}$. The fatigue crack growth rate is increased with increasing temperature. The fatigue life is decreased with increasing temperature. (3) The dependence of temperature and compressive residual stress on the parameters C and m in Paris' law formed the formulas such as equations (3),(4),(5),(6),(7),(8),(9),(10). (4) It was investigated by SEM that the constraint of compress residual stress for plastic zone of fatigue crack tip was decreased in high temperature as compared with room temperature.

The compressive residual stress, which is induced by shot peening process, seems to be an Important factor in increasing the fatigue strength. And then it was showed that residual stress was disappearenced at the high temperature. The fatigue charateristic investigation of a SUP9 spring steel processed shot peening is performed by considering the high temperature service conditions in the range of room temperature through $180^{\circ}C$ in the range of stress ratio of 0.3 by means of opening mode displacement. The fatigue resistance characteristics and fracture strength at high temperature is considerable lower than that of room temperature in the early stage and stable of fatigue crack growth region.

9-12% Cr steels have been used in thermal power plants which repeat start and stop operations. Major factors of fatigue life are temperature, frequency, stress ratio, holding time, microstructure, and environment. Normally, fatigue life decreases at high temperature, low frequency, high stress ratio, and long holding time conditions. A Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel, called G91, was developed at ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA) and was adopted as a high-temperature structural material in the ASME Code in 2004. However, its low-cycle fatigue and fatigue crack growth characteristics have been rarely studied. In this work, we have investigated the low-cycle fatigue crack growth behaviors of G91 steel under various test conditions in terms of temperature and stress ratio. As temperature and stress ratio increase, the crack growth rate becomes faster and striation distance also increases. On the other hand, the number of branch cracks decreases.

In this study, a commercial AZ61 magnesium alloy is extruded at 300 ℃ and 400 ℃ and the microstructures, mechanical properties, and high-cycle fatigue properties of the extruded materials are investigated. Both extruded materials have a fully recrystallized microstructure with no Mg₁₇Al₁₂ precipitates. The average grain size and maximum basal texture intensity of the extruded material increase with increasing extrusion temperature. The material extruded at 400 ℃ (AZ61-400) has higher tensile yield strength and lower compressive yield strength than the material extruded at 300 ℃ (AZ61-300) because of the stronger basal texture of the former. Because of coarser grain size, the tensile elongation of AZ61-400 is lower than that of AZ61-300. Despite the differences in microstructures and tensile/compressive properties, the two extruded materials have the same fatigue strength of 110 MPa. This is because the finer grain size of AZ61-300 causes an increase in fatigue strength, but its weaker texture causes a decrease in fatigue strength. In both extruded materials, fatigue cracks initiate at the surface of fatigue specimens at all stress amplitudes tested.
