This study has been made to investigate Behavior of the fatigue crack propagation for the purpose of taking into consideration the fatigue behavior Which initiate and propagate in tip of defect of the defected specimens, Which Contain the micro-hole or micro-slit. Especially, the specimens have been conducted with high-freguency heat treatment of 850.deg. C, 1050.deg. C to consider strength elevation of defected specimens. The results of this study are as follow; (1) The case of the same in the length of crack, the fatigue crack propagation rate of the micro-slit is always faster than that of micre-hole. But, the first step of the fatigue crack propagation it is not always so. (2) Fatigue crack propagation rate of specimens with micro-slit or micro-hole which have been treated with high-frequency heat treatment satisfy the following formula between the fatigue crack propagation rate and nominal stress; dl/dN .var..sigma.$^{m}$ *l$^{n}$ .
