This investigation has been undertaken to determine the influence of microstructural factors (prior austenite grain boundaries, lenticular martensite leaves, non-metallic inclusions, etc.) on the characteristics of low-cycle fatigue cracks longer than 10μ (initiation period and sources, growing rate, propagation paths, etc.) in Fe-25% Ni-0.17%C martensitic steel, by conducting optical microscopic observations of the surface of smooth specimens. The fatigue tests were carried out at 20℃ under a constant total-strain range of ±1.2% by alternating bending. The results obtained are summarized as follows : A number of microcracks originate mostly from the prior austenite grain boundaries (γ_B), boundaries of martensite leaves (α'_B) and non-metallic inclusions, and some of these microcracks spread out by means of growing an joining. The growing rate of cracks along α'_B is almost equal to that along γ_B, but the propagating manners of these cracks are different each other. That is, a microcrack occurred in γ_B tends to grow into larger size than that occurred in α'_B which often remains as a non-propagating. As for the propagation path, the path along γ_B is slightly longer than that along α'_B and the total length of these two paths accounts for above 80% of the whole crack length.
