Conclusions 1. On the basis of the experimental investigation of the effect of the test temperature (153–293°K) on the rate of FCG in steels IP-1, IP-2, and IP-3 with a coefficient of load cycle asymmetry R=−2, −1, 0, and 0.5 it was established that lowering of the test temperature has an ambiguous effect on the rate of fatigue crack growth in the mentioned steels. In most cases the rate of FCG is practically insensitive to the test temperature although we can see a general tendency of the coefficient m of the Paris equation increasing with the test temperature being lowered from 293 to 153°K. 2. A change of the coefficient of load cycle asymmetry in the range −2–0 does not have a substantial effect on the rate of FCG, and in the range 0–0.5 it reduces this rate (in coordinates dℓ/dN-Kmax) at 213 and 293°K, particularly substantially at 213°K. 3. For the investigated chrome-nickel-molybdenum steels in the temperature range 293-153°K a single dependence was established; it describes the decrease of the coefficient m with rising level of fracture toughness under static loading. 4. With the test temperature rising from 113 to 153°K, the characteristics of fracture toughness of all the investigated steels increase monotonically under static and cyclic loading, and also in the case of stopping of the crack. 5. Cyclic loading reduces substantially (to one half) the fracture toughness of steels IP-1 and IP-2 in the temperature range 113–153°K and does not change the values of K1 fc compared with KIc for steel IP-3. 6. In steels IP-1, IP-2 at temperatures of 113–153°K the fracture toughness under cyclic loading corresponding to final fracture of the specimen practically coincides with the fracture toughness at the instant of stopping of the crack. 7. In the temperature range 100–183°K of the three investigated steels steel IP-1 has the highest resistance to brittle failure under static loading and at the instant of stopping of the crack, steel IP-2 has the lowest resistance.
