316 Stainless S-N curve

I am trying to find an S-N curve for cold worked stainless steel. Any suggestions on where to look?

RE: 316 Stainless S-N curve

You'll need to be more specific before even starting.  Fatigue varies widely for different alloy and heat treats.  "Stainless steel" is not a sufficient description to get any meaningful information.

First get more specific composition information.  Even then, I don't have a good answer for publicly available SN curves.  My best recommendation is to either engage somebody with that information, or research in an engineering university library.

All I have is a mil spec. that does not provide tensile strenght for 316 Stainless Forging cold-worked. The material is under Mil-S-7702 Class C. If you have any reference material for Tensile strenght then I could put together a Goodman Diagram.
