Conclusions

  1. 1.

    A reduction in the test steels of martensite decomposition products formed by the twinning mechanism promotes an increase in fatigue resistance.

  2. 2.

    The carbon and alloying element content in steels with the use of normal hardening to martensite and tempering should be such that they provide more than 75% of lath martensite.
