Summary:
'J 'ht' c· f feet of seawater ,_tnd potential on the fatigue crack initiation hehavior of several microalloyed and thermomPrhanically processed steels has been investigated. Five steels with yield strength in t~e range 500 to 750 MPa (73 to 108 ksi) were selected which included a range of processing histories from conventional quenching and tempering to precipitation hardening and direct quenching. These steels were chosen because of their potential utility as materials of construction for deep water compliant platform hull and riser systems. Blunt notch compact tension specimens were exposed to natural flowing seawater under constant load ampli tnrlc. conditions at both freely corroding and cathodically protected potentials. Cycles to crack initiation were characterized by cyclic stress intensity range normalized relative to the square root of notch radius. Test data are presented and compared with data from other tests and steels using appropriate stress analysis methods.
