Abstract

Current research has demonstrated that the tempering temperature affects the martensitic transformation of medium-carbon high-strength steels. This temperature plays an important role in the final microstructure, percentage ratios of martensite to ferrite phases and, consequently, in the mechanical properties and the fatigue response. So far, the relationship between the martensitic tempering temperature and the cyclic deformation properties is not clearly understood. Moreover, the effect of the martensitic tempering temperature on fatigue toughness has not been studied yet. Therefore, this paper aims to study, in a systematic manner, the fatigue toughness of medium-carbon high-strength steels heat treated at different temperatures under fully reversed strain-controlled conditions.
