Experimental Data, Numerical Fit, and Fatigue Life Calculations Relating to the Bauschinger Effect in High-Strength Armament Steels

Abstract

The uniaxial Bauschinger effect has been evaluated in several high strength steels being considered for armament use. Tests were conducted at plastic strains up to 3.5%. Results of testing show a progressive decrease in Bauschinger effect up to plastic strains of approximately 1% (for all materials investigated), after which there is little further decrease.
