Investigations of the structure-phase states and defective substructure and the factors responsible for increase in fatigue durability of steel have been carried out by the methods of optical, scanning and transmission electron diffraction microscopy. %K Electron-Beam Treatment %K Fatigue %K Defective Substructure %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.materials.20120203.11.html
