Abstract Low-frequency fatigue tests at load ratios 0.8 and 0.9 and constant load tests were run on sensitized type 304 (UNS S30400) stainless steel (SS), type 316 nuclear grade (NG) SS and the nickel-base alloy 600 (UNS N06600) in simulated boiling water reactor (BWR) environments. The environments simulated normal water chemistry (NWC) and hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) with 15 or 5 ppb O2, clean or with sulfate. Oxygen enhanced cracking of type 304 SS and alloy 600, but not type 316 NG, under fatigue load conditions. Under constant load conditions, crack propagation was always very low in clean environments. Sulfate enhanced cracking in all three materials, most in type 304 SS and least in type 316 NG. Crack enhancement due to 0.1 ppm sulfate was worse under constant load than under fatigue load conditions, for type 304 SS in NWC up to a factor of 100 in constant load and up to a factor of 10 in fatigue.
