Fatigue behavior of plain specimens of low carbon steel subjected to small tensile prestrain is investigated through rotating bending tests and the mechanism of the decrease of fatigue limit due to the prestrain is discussed. It is found that 3 percent prestraining causes the acceleration of both slip and crack initiations, and increases the growth rate of a small surface crack of less than 0.3 mm. It also decreases the fatigue limit. If prestrained material is aged, the fatigue limit increases. These effects of the small prestrain are explained based on the unpinning of locked dislocations due to the prestrain.

Until now, surface defects of continuous casting slab have been removed by the enforced surface scarfing to produce high quality steel materials. An evaluation technique for surface and internal defects of slab is required to enhance the production of medium carbon steels and acquire defect-map. Accordingly as a preliminary step, longitudinal wave testing and Rayleigh wave testing were carried out on slab specimens of medium carbon steel to get basic transmission characteristics of ultrasonic waves. This research provides as basic data for on-line defect estimation using a laser ultrasonic or EMAT in non-contact ultrasonic detecting techniques in future.

The fatigue limit of a plain specimen of a tool steel JIS SK85 was investigated. The initial crack length in the fatigue process is related to the size of a single crystal in the case of low carbon steel. However, that is independent of the crystal size in the case of pure aluminum, a lamellar pearlitic steel, etc. In this study, the relationship between the initial crack length and the fatigue limit was investigated. The original microstructure of this material includes a spherical microstructure. However, after heat treatment under some conditions, that microstructure changed to a lamellar microstructure. The fatigue limit of heat-treated SK85 could be evaluated by an equation in which the parameters are the hardness and initial crack length. Finally, this result was discussed based on the observations of crack growth behavior and fracture surface.

Transferring of fatigue behavior is investigated from material to structure for Chinese railway LZ50 axle carbon steel. S-N data in mid-fatigue life range and fatigue limit data of smooth small specimens are applied for material fatigue behavior. Real axles and similar smooth bigger specimens were tested with respect to fatigue limits. The data of real axles reveal the difference between material and a special structure. And the data of similar specimens play a role of bridge to connect material and material structures. Probabilistic transferring relations are deduced by the data from material, to similar specimens, and then to structures at the fatigue limit phase. Structural probabilistic S-N curves are obtained by the material fatigue behavior to extend the transferring relations to entire fatigue life range. Determinations of the fatigue behavior of the groove of LZ50 steel axle indicate availability of the present investigation.
