A study on the Faigue Behavior and Mechanism of High Hardened Steel

고판도강재의 피로거동과 기구

On the basis of optical microscope and electro microscope observation for the fatigue fracture process of medium corbon martensitic structure produced by rapid heat treatment, mainly the abstracts of the studied results for the morphology of fatigue crack initiation process of high hardened steel are summarized as follows. Fatigue crack initiated from inclusion on the surface or subsurface. Above all the crack which initiated from inclusion exposed on the surface in as follows. (1) fatigue crack initiated from the boundary of the matrix and inclusion. (2) fatigue crack initiated at surrounding of small pit by drop out of inclusion.
