1 Effect of Autofrettage on Fatigue Crack Growth Rate for High Pressure Reactors For high pressure reactor vessels such as for polyethylene production, autof rettage is used extensively to have the fatigue life elongated. In this study, to evaluate the material degradation based on the autof rettaged strain, the repeated internal pressure fatigue tests were conducted using the actual reactors, where the effect of autof rettage on the fatigue crack growth rate was investigated. (1) Fatigue crack growth rate of the autof rettaged cylinder is smaller than that of the non-autof rettaged one, especially near the bore surface. (2) Autof rettaged stain near the bore surface does not affect the material degradation, which means that the delay of fatigue crack growth rate is mainly caused by the highly compressive residual stress at the bore surface. (3) The stress intensity factor expression of an autof rettaged thick cylinder was developed successfully which is based on the use of the effective stress intensity factor, Kef, f, considering the highly compressive residual stress.
