Abstract
In order to predict the life expectancy for the tungsten target at the planned European spallation source, the fatigue properties of pure tungsten have been studied at room temperature and 300°C. Constant amplitude, stress controlled fatigue tests have been performed to investigate high cycle fatigue and cyclic hardening effects have been studied using multistep, strain controlled fatigue tests. The fatigue limit for rolled tungsten in the rolling direction was found to be in the range 285-300 MPa at room temperature as well as at 300°C. However, these are preliminary results and need to be confirmed by extensive testing.

At 300°C, the tungsten specimens showed relatively more ductility and less notch sensitive behavior. In the... (More)

The fatigue limit for rolled tungsten in the rolling direction was found to be in the range 285-300 MPa at room temperature as well as at 300°C. However, these are preliminary results and need to be confirmed by extensive testing.

At 300°C, the tungsten specimens showed relatively more ductility and less notch sensitive behavior. In the transverse direction, based on limited number of tests, he fatigue limit was found to be in the range 150-165MPa at room temperature. urther testing is required to confirm the reliability of these measurements.

Two forged specimens were tested at room temperature and one of the
specimens could sustain a stress-amplitude of 450MPa without failing.
General conclusions on cyclic hardening effects in the material could not be made with the available data and needs further study. (Less)
