A special low cycle fatigue (LCF) programme has been performed on a 1CrMoNiV rotor steel at a temperature of 525 degrees centigrade. In this programme, 15 laboratories have tested a total of 67 test pieces at a single applied total strain range. The programme focused on an examination of typical laboratory practices likely to affect the degree of scatter in LCF endurance. As a feature, bending measurements have been performed at room temperature immediately prior to the start of each test.
