The evolution of dislocation densities and of dislocation microstructures during cyclic loading of AISI 316L is systematically evaluated. In addition, internal stresses are also measured for every cycle and comprehensively analyzed. These observations are made in order to establish relationships between the evolution of dislocation condition and internal stresses, and ultimately to obtain a thorough insight into the complex cyclic response of AISI 316L. Moreover, the dependencies of established relationships on the variation of temperature and strain amplitude are investigated. The back stresses (long-range stresses associated with the presence of collective dislocations over different length scales) are mainly responsible for the cyclic deformation response at high strain amplitudes where dislocations tend to move more quickly in a wavy manner. In contrast, the effective stress, coupling with short-range dislocation interactions, plays an insignificant role on the material cyclic response for wavy slip conditions, but increasingly becomes more important for planar slip conditions. The additionally strong short-range interactions between dislocations and point defects (initially with solute atoms and later in life with corduroy structure) at 573 K (300 degrees C) cause dislocations to move in more planar ways, resulting in a significant increase in effective stress, leading to their influential role on the material cyclic response.
