The results of the measurements of acoustic emission (AB) count rate are presented
during low-cycle fatigue of the variously heat treated 45HNMFA structural steel, which can
be used for the production of high-pressure chambers. The experimental technique is
described briefly. The most important result of this investigation is the occurrence of three
stages of the AB activity during the low-cycle fatigue. These dependencies can be applied in
monitoring of the service life (safe exploitation period) of high-pressure chambers and/or
other studied objects.
