The necessity for reliable shakedown/ratchetting data for stainless steel type 316 arises from its widespread specification in nuclear power plant. In such applications this material is required to operate at temperatures of about 500d̀ C. This paper details an experimental technique which permits such shakedown/ratchetting tests to be undertaken at elevated temperatures.
