Creep rupture tests were conducted on plain and notched specimens of 316L(N) SS to assess the notch sensitivity of the material. The notched specimen contained a V-notch at an angle of 600 with root radius of 0.19 mm. The ...

The present work focuses on testing of 316 L (N) steel in which varying degrees of multiaxiality are introduced with variation in the stress intensity factor, Kt. The specimens were tested under varying notch geometries ...
