Corrosion fatigue (CF) behavior of AISI 316L was investigated in a 3 pct NaCl aqueous solution at an R = -1 stress ratio and a frequency of 60 Hz at room temperature. The test scale specimen was 7 cm(2). The passive (0 mV(Ref)), pitting (120 mV(Ref)), and cathodic (- 1400 mV(Ref)) polarization potentials were statically applied and recorded during CF tests until the samples were broken. The shaft material surface was treated with a ball burnishing (BB) process. By the results, the fatigue behavior of AISI 316L was affected by polarization potential and surface treatment. Under 0 mV potential charged tests for 5 x 10(5) cycles, BB treatment raised the CF strength of the shaft material from about 448 to 702 MPa with a percent 57 increase. Fractographic observations revealed that corrosion pits occurred during the experiments where anodic potential was applied and that transgranular surface fractures occurred in all cases.
