In order to design fast reactors, it is necessary to consider high cycle fatigue of structural materials up to 110 cycles; to evaluate high cycle fatigue at 110 cycles, it is necessary to develop a best-fit fatigue curve applicable up to 110 cycles. In this study, high cycle fatigue tests were conducted under strain-controlled conditions and ultrasonic fatigue tests were also conducted to develop a high cycle fatigue evaluation method for Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel, which is a candidate material for fast reactor structural materials. Based on the test results, the best-fit fatigue curves were extended and the applicability of the JSME best-fit fatigue curves up to 110 cycles was verified.
