The low-cycle fatigue behavior of Type 304 stainless steel at 593/sup 0/C is examined along with the crack-initiation and crack propagation aspects of the fatigue life in smooth specimens. It is noted that at present, no method is available that has the capability of predicting the crack-initiation life. Only when the variables affecting crack initiation are quantitatively investigated will it be possible to achieve an understanding of the effect of a specific variable on fatigue life. (JRD)
