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.

The influence of production conditions and Nb microalloy on the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behaviors of different Carbide-free bainite/martensite (CFB/M) steels was studied, which include steels produced in laboratory and steelworks. Results show the Nb-microalloy can strengthen the microstructure including the soft bainite plate and improve the VHCF property evidently. In addition, the high purity of steels can avoid inclusion induced crack initiation, but can not improve the VHCF property unless the microstructure possesses favorable uniformity. The critical inclusion size is suggested to be 10-15μm and the CFB/M complex microstructure may be less sensitive to inclusions than other high strength steels.
