Abstract
In this study, ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) was used to improve plain and fretting fatigue properties of A100 steel. Results showed that an obvious plastic deformation layer was induced in A100 steel, and the martensite microstructure was remarkably refined. In addition, surface compressive residual stress after UNSM treatment was enhanced to 1700 MPa due to the severe lattice distortion. The increased surface hardness and the presence of beneficial compressive residual stresses after UNSM treatment significantly enhanced the plain/fretting fatigue resistance of A100 steel by retarding fatigue crack nucleation and propagation.
