Fatigue tests were conducted for a modified ausformed and tempered JIS-SCM440 low-alloy (denoted as AF) steel with tensile strengths of 1600 and 2000 MPa, respectively, and were compared with normally quenched and tempered (QT) steel. The 1600 MPa-class modified ausformed steel (AF 1600) developed no fish-eye fractures and a fatigue limit of 920 MPa, whereas normally quenched steel (QT1600) developed fish-eye fractures and showed a lower fatigue limit of 840 MPa. The 2000 MPa-class modified ausformed steel (AF2000) achieved a high fatigue limit of 1010 MPa, but developed fish-eye fractures. The fatigue limit of normally quenched steel (QT2000) was 840 MPa.
