Scan and single-shot induction hardening were used to harden 1045 and 10V45 steels. Torsional fatigue testing found that while case hardness was higher in 10V45, 1045 exhibited greater ductility during crack propagation, leading to improved fatigue life. Scan hardening produced a finer prior austenite grain size and lower residual stresses than single-shot hardening. However, fatigue performance was similar between the two processes at 550 MPa stress amplitude, with single-shot showing 70% higher life at 650 MPa.
