Abstract: | The fatigue performance of gas carburized SAE 8620 steel was evaluated as a function of case depth. To vary the case depths, different carburizing times were applied. The typical times were: 45 min, 3 and 5 h at the temperature of 940 °C. To cause failure in the rotating bending fatigue specimens, the applied load was chosen as the equivalent load at 106 cycles for the material when is subjected to bending fatigue. The characterization of the specimens was carried out using X-ray diffraction technique for stress measurement and retained austenite and optical metallographic examination. The fractured surfaces were cleaned in an ultrasonic bath and examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with EDX to evaluate the crack initiation and growth characteristics of the materials in the core and carburized case regions of specimens. The results showed that the fatigue limit was associated with the microstructure, the case depth, the distribution of retained austenite, the depth of the internal oxidation and the compressive residual stresses near the surface. The bending fatigue strength of gas carburized specimens was showed to decrease with the increasing case depths caused by the increasing of internal oxidation and nonmartensitic transformation present at the surface. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
