Abstract
It is usually found that the fatigue strength of metals is slightly reduced by decreasing the cyclic speed, the reduction becoming greater with increase in temperature. However, this usual speed effect is reversed for mild steel at temperatures between 200 and 300°C. In this temperature range the fatigue strength is considerably greater at 10 c/min than at 2000 c/min. It is thought that this behaviour is caused by strain-ageing.
