Abstract: Small bar speeimens of steel 16Mn with blind-holes were fatigued under constant amplitude Ioadings on a rotathing bending fatigue machie.Short crack propagation emanating from the blind-holes was obtained.Based on the experimental results,an expression of average propa- gation rate of short cracks was proposed.Statistical behavior of short crack propagation was discussed and the evoluation of sutrface sizes of short cracks with fatigue cycle number was al- so given.

Key words: steel 16Mn, bending fatigue, propagation rate, statistical behavior
