Description
The fatigue response of selected high strength low
alloy steels, that are under consideration for future
offshore structural applications, was investigated. Freely
corroding and cathodically polarized experiments were
conducted under conditions relevant .to these applications.
Cathodic polarization experiments involved testing of A537
Direct Quenched (A537 DQ) steel at different potentials in
the -0.80 V to -1.10 V (SCE) range. The damage to freely
corroding high strength steel was more than on structural
steel for calculations based on the Wirsching wide band
spectrum. Polarization to -0.80 V (SCE) improved the
fatigue life of A537 DQ steel over the freely corroding
life. A definite conclusion with regard to the influence of
different levels of cathodic polarization on the fatigue
life of the steel investigated can not not be drawn based on
the results from this study due to data variability.
