Fatigue lifetime of 20MnV6 steel with holes manufactured by various methods

In this paper, the authors publish their own experimental results of the examination of the different holes (milled, drilled and drilled + shot peened) on the fatigue lifetime of 20MnV6 steel. The experiments were carried out at low-frequency loading (f = 10 Hz, pulsating tension loading) in the region from N = 2×10⁵ up to N = 2×10⁶ cycles. The best fatigue properties were obtained in the parts with drilled + shot peened holes.
