The strengthening mechanisms of hole expansion in toughening treated steel 3 00M have been studiedby x-ray diffractometer and TEM. It was shown that the fatigue strength was improved from σ0.1=410MPa to σ0.1=530 MPa after the expansion. The strengthening mechanisms came from many aspects, in-cluding the formation of residual compressive stress, the tension and compression of crystal plane, thebending and distortion of crystal lattice, the increase of dislocation density,the formation of cellular dislo-cations, the transformation of part of the residual austenite to deformation martensite, and the decrease ofthe hole surface roughness,Due to the comprehensive effects of these factors during the fatigue test, thefatigue strengths was thus improved.
