Abstract

A boronized layer of Cr12MoV steel was processed with LQ (laser quenching), and the fatigue limits of original samples before and laser quenched samples were calculated with Locati tension–tension fatigue test, and the fracture morphologies were observed with a SEM (scanning electronic microscope). The results show that the compressive residual stress of −382MPa is introduced by LQ, the fatigue strength improves from 368MPa to 422MPa, increasing by 14.7%, and the fatigue crack is initiated at the subsurface after LQ. The compressive residual stress of the Cr12MoV by LQ is of the main mechanism of the improving of fatigue property.
