Bar Steel Fatigue Database-Objectives
• Develop a strain-controlled fatigue database for carbon and low alloy bar steels for the automotive and OEM industries
• Provide fatigue data which can be used to predict and analyze service life for chassis, engine and drive train components
• Utilize a directly accessible Internet-based format
w w w . a u t o s t e e l . o r g
• AISI Bar Steel Producers• Automotive Manufacturers• OEM Suppliers• Two Universities
– University of Toledo– University of Waterloo
