Strain controlled tests were performed on a high strength steel to investigate the influence of tension mean stress to the crack initiation process at the very high cycle fatigue regime. It is supposed that the variation of stress the state in the vicinity of a non-metallic inclusion results in a change to the energy transferred to the surrounding metallic matrix. To prove this, incremental step tests on cylindrical specimen were realized in which the tension mean stress was stepwise increased. It could be verified that the hysteresis area, which is a criterion of the work transferred to the specimen, decreases with increasing tension mean stress. The test results provide a reasonable physical model to estimate the influence of tension mean stress to the crack initiation process in the very high cycle fatigue regime.

Very high cycle fatigue behavior of high strength steel, were investigated using ultrasonic fatigue testing equipment at 20 kHz up to 109cycles. S-N curves at room temperature with different stress ratio (R=0.01 and R=0.1) was determined. The experimental results show that fatigue strength decrease with increasing number of cycles between 105 and 109. SEM examination of fracture surface reveals that fatigue damage was governed by the formation of cracks, and subsurface crack initiation was in the very long life range. The results shown that the portions of life attributed to subsurface crack initiation between 107 and 109 cycles are 99%.
