The initiation and propagation behavior of vertical short-crack were traced by microscopic observation due to its observability on the surface of the specimen. It is found that after the short-crack initiates and quickly propagates to a certain depth from the contact surface, the vertical short-crack will stop propagating for a large number of cycles (from 104 to 3~5(105 cycles); however, while the number of cycles is up to the initiation life of rolling contact fatigue (about 3~5(105 cycles), the vertical short-crack re-propagates at a high propagation rate and along the circumferential direction of the specimen and parallel to the contact surface. Based on the observed un-propagating and re-propagating behaviors of vertical short-crack, the initiation life and surface distress life of rolling contact fatigue of the back-up roller was measured, and then, the mechanism of rolling contact fatigue was discussed. KEYWORDS: rolling contact fatigue; vertical short-crack; initiation life; bainitic steel 1. Introduction Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is a main failure mode of roller and wheel-rail, and it results in pitting and spalling on contact surface. During the hot rolling, the pitting and spalling formed on the surface of roller can degrade the quality of manufactured steel sheet greatly, and they must be prevented in practice. In hot-rolling factory, the fatigue failure on the surface of roller is prevented by grinding the surface away after certain working time and with certain thickness,
