Experimental Investigation on Plastic Deformation of Stainless Steel at Low Temperature

Low temperature structures in aerospace technology or super conduct technology have become more popular in recent years. The structures need high reliability in their service life. The strength design should be realized on well understanding the characteristic property of low temperature deformation. But there are not so many experimental investigations on plastic deformation at low temperature. The review is reported by one of the authors [1] and the shortage of experimental results under combined stress state is pointed out.
