51CrV4 spring steel is widely used in heavy duty dump trucks ascribing to its superior mechanical properties. The fatigue life and strength of dump trucks are the main performance indicators that must be considered in the manufacturing process. Cryogenic treatment (CT) can improve the main performance of materials which has been proved by recently research. The effect of cryogenic treatment CT on the axial tensile fatigue strength of 51CrV4 spring steel was studied in this paper. The results showed that the axial tension-tension fatigue life of 51CrV4 spring steel after CT was significantly higher than conventional heat treatment (CHT) samples. The microstructure of 51CrV4 leaf spring material is mainly acicular bainite and thin strip martensite after CT. Compared with CHT, CT makes the microstructure of the material more compact. The introduction of cryogenic treatment (CT) before tempering makes the Ca element in the material aggregate, and the micro amount of Ca has the function of deoxidizing and desulphurizing and improving the morphology of sulfide, thus enhancing the fatigue life of the material.

In order to investigate the interior-induced fatigue crack propagation behavior of high cleanliness valve spring steel (JIS SWOSC-V), rotating bending fatigue tests were performed for various kinds of specimens with different hardness or surface finishings. The harder specimen with higher compressive residual stress showed longer fatigue life. The electrochemical polished specimen pre-treated with shot peening showed almost same fatigue life as the shot-peened specimen in spite of the difference in surface roughness. After fatigue tests, fracture surfaces were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to evaluate the fatigue fracture mechanism. Most specimens failed in surface-induced fracture mode due to high cleanliness; however, some specimens failed in interior-induced fracture mode in the very high cycle regime. Although non-metallic inclusions were not observed at interior fatigue crack initiation sites, 2 types of significant microstructures (with smooth surface or granular surface) were observed. EBSD analysis, profile analysis and computational simulation using a fracture surface topographic analysis (FRASTA) method were performed to investigate the mechanism of the interior-induced fatigue fracture caused by the microstructure at defect without any inclusion.
