Cyclic plastic response of the austenitic heat resistant steel Sanicro 25 has been studied during strain controlled low cycle fatigue tests performed at ambient and at elevated temperature. Simultaneously with the cyclic hardening/softening curves hysteresis loops during cyclic loading were analyzed using generalized statistical theory of the hysteresis loop. The probability density distribution function of the internal critical stresses, the effective saturated stress and their evolution during cycling were derived for various strain amplitudes. The internal dislocation structure and the surface relief at room and at elevated temperature were studied and correlated with the cyclic stress–strain response and the evolution of the probability density function of the internal critical stresses.
