Failuredue to corrosion fatigue is a phenomenon that often occurs in thestructure associated with a corrosive environment. Stepuse ofmaterialssuch as AISI 304ÃÂ stainlesshas been done, buta failuredue to corrosion fatigue phenomena still occur and canÃÂ not be understood and explained by the experts. This study focused on assessing changesÃÂ in behaviorof AISI 304stainless steelareexperiencingrepeatedloadingincorrosiveÃÂ environment. The behavior changes observed with fatigue testing in laboratory air andÃÂ 3.5% NaCl solution, using a fatigue testing machine typerotary bending, specimens weremadeaccording to ASTME-466 andASTMF-1801 for corrosionfatiguetesting.Fatigue testingÃÂ presented in S-Ncurve and fracture patterns observed, observed in3.5% NaCl solution andÃÂ constantstress 369.53 MP apitgrowth measurements done on sevenl evels and four levels ofÃÂ cycles for corrosion potential and current measurements a represented in the polarizationcurve. The results showe dthat the endurance limit of the laboratoryair environment atÃÂ stress 323.34MPa and 3.5% NaCl solution decreases, up to stress 277.15 MPaÃÂ at1.7x107cycles. Ductile fracture pattern is in the airand 3.5% NaCl solutionis brittle. PitsÃÂ and cracks growth, failure is dominated by crack propagation and increase the number ofÃÂ cycles resulting in decreased surface potential and corrosion current density increases.
