• Gigacycle fatigue behaviors of two SNCM439 steels with different tensile strengthes were experimentally studied by rotating bending tests, to investigate the effects of the tensile strength obtained by different heat treatment processes on very high cycle fatigue failure mechanisms. The material with higher tensile strength of 1 710MPa exhibited typical gigacycle fatigue failure characteristics, whereas one with lower tensile strength of 1 010MPa showed only traditional fatigue limit during the tests and no gigacycle failure could be found even when the specimen ran up to more than 10 8 cycles. Metallographic and fractographic analysis were carried out by an optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It showed two different crack initiation mechanisms that for the specimen with lower tensile strength the crack prefers surface initiation and for that with higher strength the crack initiates from subsurface inclusions revealed by a fish-eye like microstructure.
