Competing damage mechanisms in the thermo-mechanical fatigue of AISI 304L stainless steel

► TMF of 304L stainless steel in two temperature ranges with four phase differences. ► Dynamic strain aging occurs from 300 to 500 °C without the serration. ► In the 450-700 °C range, the creep is the most dominant damage mechanism. ► Qualitative modeling of the competition between the DSA and the creep.
