In the framework of a next study the correlation between material, tempering stage, effective hardening depth and fatigue strength under vibratory stress was established taking particular account of the microstructure, the progression of the hardening process, residual stress and the hardening parameters.dedrop forgingfatigue strengthGefügeGesenkschmiedenhardness shapeHärteverlaufheat effectinduction hardeningInduktionshärtenmaterial propertymicrostructureOberflächenbehandlungSchwingfestigkeitStahlsteelsurface treatmentWärmeeinflußWerkstoffeigenschaft620journal article
