Abstract
In order to examine the fatigue crack propagation rates of stainless clad steel which is considered to be useful for increasing the resistance of steel structures against corrosion, fatigue crack propagation tests have been carried out by using CCT type of specimens made of mild steel, stainless steel and stainless clad steel. On the basis of the experimental results, an expression for fatigue crack propagation rates of stainless clad steel is proposed in consideration of a difference in a Young's modulus of steel from stainless steel.
