Abstract

To propose a time‐saving method for evaluating the fatigue strength of carburized steel, the fatigue behavior and fracture mechanism of carburized 14Cr14Co13Mo5 steels are studied by the rotary bending fatigue tests. It is found that the fatigue crack initiation site changes from surface to internal after carburizing due to the residual compressive stress and carbide cluster caused by the carburization. Besides, a notable correlation between the stress intensity of the cracked carbides at fatigue crack initiation site and fatigue life is observed in the carburized samples. This correlation allows for the estimation of fatigue strength at long conditional life based on samples tested at relatively high stress amplitudes with short lives, achieving a prediction error within 10% for the material studied. A significant time saving of ≈65% compared to the staircase method is achieved. The proposed method has significant implications for improving the efficiency fatigue strength evaluation in carburized steels containing carbides.
