In order to elucidate the complex effects of surface roughness, the transition of microstructures from the surface to the interior, defects and residual stress, tension-compression fatigue tests have been conducted by using shot blasted ferrite-pearlite ductile cast irons with as-cast surfaces. Regardless of the applied stress levels, the fracture origins of the specimens were mostly situated at a defect near an as-cast surface, slag, or pinhole at Nf<107. At a relatively lower stress amplitude, some fatigue fractures such as shrinkage occurred from an inner defect far from the surface, mostly at Nf<107. The √area parameter model was applied to the quantitative evaluation of the fatigue limit. The equivalent hardness considering the transitional layers and the effective defect size with the interaction between the surface roughness and a defect were defined. Moreover, the relief of the residual stress during the fatigue tests was detected. The mean value of the relieved residual stress acting on a defect was employed for the quantitative evaluation. By using these parameters, the complex effects of ductile cast iron have been successfully evaluated for practical use.
