S235JRC+C Steel Response Analysis Subjected to Uniaxial Stress Tests in the Area of High Temperatures and Material Fatigue

Knowledge of the properties and behavior of materials under certain working conditions is the basis for the selection of the proper material for the design of a new structure. This paper deals with experimental investigations of the mechanical properties of unalloyed high quality steel S235JRC + C (1.0122) and its behavior under conditions of igh temperatures, creep and mechanical fatigue. The response of the material at high temperatures (20–700 ◦C) is shown in the form of engineering stress-strain diagrams while that at creep behavior (400–600 ◦C) is shown in the form of creep curves. Furthermore, based on uniaxial fully reversed mechanical fatigue tests (R = −1), a stress-life (S-N) fatigue diagram has been constructed and the fatigue endurance) limit of the material is calculated. The experimentally determined value of tensile strength at room temperature, is 534 MPa. The calculated value of the fatigue limit, also at room temperature, using the modified staircase method and based on the mechanical fatigue tests data, is 202 MPa. With regard to creep resistance, steel 1.0122 can be considered creep-resistant only at a temperature of 400 ◦C and at an applied stress not exceeding 50% of the yield strength corresponding to this emperature.
