Fatigue properties are of fundamental importance and extremely time consuming to be assessed. The aim of this research activity is to apply the Thermographic Method (TM) and the Static Thermographic Method (STM) during fatigue and tensile tests to correlate the temperature trend to the fatigue properties of an S355 steel. The material was retrieved from an in‐service port crane. Traditional fatigue tests were performed in order to evaluate the S‐N curve with a scatter band. Step load tests were carried out deriving the fatigue limit and the Energy Parameter of the material. Static tensile tests were performed to obtain the stress at which the temperature trend deviates from the thermoelastic behavior. The fatigue properties obtained by means of the energetic methods were compared to the traditional ones showing a good agreement.
