AISI 4130 steel is widely used in the aircraft industry, mainly for frame structures. It is
a medium carbon low-alloyed (25CrMo4) steel predetermined for precipitation of carbides in
the microstructure during heat treatment. Six different heat treatments were applied to study
the effect of the resulting microstructure (ferritic-pearlitic in a normalised state or martensitic
with carbides in a hardened state) on the fatigue life of AISI 4130. Tension-tension cycling
under force control was used to determine the S-N curve of flat specimens with a central
circular notch. The best fatigue properties were achieved for the material state HT125, i.e.,
hardened & tempered to 125 ksi (863 MPa), exhibiting the maximum stress at a fatigue limit
of 225 MPa, which is approximately 5–15 % better compared to the rest of the applied heat
treatments. Microstructural investigations using scanning electron microscopy explained the
acquired fatigue life results of AISI 4130 concerning different heat-treated conditions.
