The object of the study was stainless steel 08Cr18Ni10Ti, a two-phase ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure in which it was formed by Rotary Swaging (RS) at room temperature. Bars with a diameter of 6 mm have an uneven hardness distribution in the cross section of the bar; maximum hardness values are observed in the center of the bar. The formation of TiC particles is observed in the annealing temperature range of 450 – 550 °C; the reverse transformation of martensite into austenite occurs in the temperature range of 550 – 650 °C, and recrystallization processes occur at annealing temperatures of more than 700 °C. Fatigue tests of smooth cylindrical samples according to the bending with rotation scheme were carried out at room temperature at a frequency of 50 Hz. Fractographic analysis of the fractures was performed by scanning electron microscopy. Fatigue curves were analyzed using the Basquin power equation: sa = A·N–k. It is shown that RS and annealing lead to a decrease in the coefficient A in the Basquin equation. It has been established that coarse-grained and UFG steel have the same fatigue limit: the physical fatigue limit based on 107 cycles is 500 – 550 MPa; and the relative fatigue limit calculated using the Basquin equation based on 108 cycles is σ–1 = 150 – 155 MPa. It is shown that the dependence of σ–1 on the annealing temperature has a non-monotonic character, with a maximum. The results of fatigue tests were analyzed using a model of plastic deformation at the crack tip.
