Conclusions
-
1.
The effect of preliminary cyclic loading by pulsating tension at room temperature on the low-temperature strength and ductility of steel depends upon the test temperature and the form of stressed state.
-
2.
Preliminary cycling at normal temperature with the maximum stress not exceeding the yield strength by more than 10% has practically no effect on the strength of steel in the +20 to −100°C range. At lower temperatures it reduces the strength properties of the steel, especially in uniform biaxial tension.
-
3.
As a result of cyclic loading, the ductility of steels decreases, and this decrease is more substantial in the direction of preliminary loading. With a decrease in temperature the effect of cyclic loading on the ductility increases.
