Abstract: The rotational bending fatigue test of SAF 2707HD duplex stainless steel was carried out. The fatigue limit is determined by the up-and-down method, and the stress-lifetime (S-N) curve is hence drawn according to the experimental data. The fatigue fracture surface of the specimen is observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the type of fatigue crack initiation and the corresponding fracture mechanism are analyzed respectively. Statistical data show that the fracture caused by crack origins on the surface of the specimen occurs basically at or within in 105 cycles, while the fracture caused by internal crack origins occurs basically at about 106 cycles, with a difference of nearly one order of magnitude. For this reason, the fatigue life is then predicted by using the finite element software. All predicted results are compared with the experimental S-N curve, which confirms the reliability of our fatigue life analysis.
