Strain controlled fatigue tests of carbon steels in oxygenated high temperature water were carried out with various wave shapes of strain, e.g. triangle, slow/fast saw tooth, fast/slow saw tooth, stepwise changed and continuously changed sine waves. The effects of strain rate change on environmental fatigue life were investigated, showing basic conceptual data to evaluate the fatigue damage under the condition of transient strain change of actual plant components.
