Knowledge of the boundary between limited and infinite (endurance) life represents a truly very important fatigue parameter. This paper deals with the influence of pre-deformation on aluminium alloy AW-5182 fatigue properties. These tests were performed under fully reversed harmonic cycle (max/min stress ratio R = -1). As a major aim there was determination of so-called S-N curves (stress vs. number of cycles) and their mathematical description by the Basquin's equation via fatigue strenght coefficient σf' [MPa] and fatigue strength exponent b [1]. Measured S-N curves gave a basic overview about the basic pre-deformation influence on the alluminium alloy AW-5182 fatigue properties.
