Experiments are reported for fatigue tests in bending and in torsion at hardness levels from fully annealed to fully hard and super quenched. Results indicate a linear relation between fatigue strength and Brinell hardness. The relation between bending and torsion and the effects of mean stress and size are also examined.

The AISI 4340 steel has been largely employed for structural purposes, which requires resistance levels with yield strength above 1400 MPa and it attains high levels of resistance in dual phase, bainitic or martensitic microstructural conditions. The samples of AISI 4340 steel with different microstructural conditions (martensitic, bainitic and ferritic/perlitic) have been submitted to fatigue tests on push-pull mode. Subsequently, the new specimens underwent a shot peening surface treatment and new fatigue tests. The results have been discussed in comparison to the three microstructural conditions studied and they were related to a microstructural characterization. The results have showed that a shot peening treatment is not always beneficial to fatigue life, since there is a relationship between the compressive stresses developed on the surface and its roughness formed due to the deformations. Under the three microstructural above studied it was noticed a strong fatigue life reduction in the martensitic condition because such microstructure is considered less ductile.

The effect of two finishing processes, namely, cutting and grinding, on the fatigue strength of hardened AISI 4340 steel was investigated. Three sets of flat tensile specimens were prepared by first machining into the general shape of the fatigue specimen standard, then they were hardened to HRC 54. The final grinding was carefully performed on one set of specimens. Two sets of specimens were fly cut to obtain a surface finish comparable to the ground surface. The residual stress distribution, surface structure, and surface profiles were determined. Fatigue testing was accomplished on these specimens in tension under load control. All the residual stress patterns were compressive, but the residual stress created by fly cutting reached a much deeper layer than that created by grinding. Fly cutting also produced a surface with a higher fatigue strength than the grinding did.
