I need help locating textbook LCF curves for A516 and A216 steel. Any grade is acceptable. And any temperature is acceptable.......for the moment.
I have searched and googled all I can, and now it is going to cost $$$ to obtain curves through testing.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

sorry
"Low Cycle Fatigue"

I am assuming there are some sort of curves out there, for steels with virtually the same composition as A516 & A216, that I can obtain for less money then what a 1-2 month long test would cost........some kind of published work with these curves.

Thanks again for any help.

The ASM Handbook Vol. 19 reports Low Cycle Fatigue data in the form of graphs only for Cr-Mo ferritic steels. No results are reported for carbon steels.

rats, so this type of data is not easy to obtain for the public?
I've only got about a day left to find it before we give the "goahead" for the testing....pushing the project completion date back.

Thanks Goahead
