It is known that nitrogen and carbon S phases are formed in the diffusion layer on the surface of austenitic stainless steels if nitriding or carburizing is performed at the temperature of 500°C or less. In order to investigate the effect of the nitrogen and carbon S phases on high cycle fatigue properties of type316L austenitic stainless steel, rotating bending fatigue tests were carried out for four specimens with different treatments : One was gas carburized at 470°C. The other three were gas nitrided at 420°C, 460°C and 570°C, respectively. The former three specimens had the carbon or the nitrogen S phase and the last one had no S phase in the diffusion layer, depending on the temperature. As the fatigue tests result, the S phase is effective to enhance the fatigue properties. The effect of fatigue properties improvement of the nitrogen S phase is greater than that of the carbon S phase. The fatigue strength increases with an increase in the thickness of the diffusion layer in the nitrided specimens. External observation suggests that the fatigue crack initiated from the chipped part on the surface due to fatigue loading. Although the chipping behavior depended on the diffusion species, the propagation behavior of fatigue cracks did not depend on them.
