Abstract:The relationship between quenching process and its effect on mechanical properties and fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) in the low carbon martensitic 20CrMnTiH steel was analyzed. The mechanical performances and crack propagation Paris models in steady growth region of different heat treatment were obtained by testing. The microstructures which heat to 1 100 ℃ austenitizing temperature and quenching in ice salt water exhibited high fatigue crack propagation resistances,the lowest FCG rates. Meanwhile,a generalized crack growth model based on tensile properties is established for 20CrMnTiH steel which show an accurate prediction of crack growth rate at a stress ratio of 0.1.
