## Abstract Orthodontists mainly use stainless austenitic wires with a wide range of ultimate tensile strength. To characterize the dynamical behavior of these wires, the authors have perfected machines to test materials with their original surface roughness without any prior machining of surfaces.

β¦ Synopsis
Single and multi-strand stainless steel and cobalt-nickel alloy wires, with strand diameters from 26 to 46 pm, were fatigue tested using a modified rotating bending test to determine what factors are most important in controlling fatigue life. The relation between cyclic strain and cyclic life was determined for each material by cyclically straining test specimens at various strain ranges and recording the number of cycles to failure. The results show that (a) the fatigue curves of the 316LVM, MP35N, DBS, and Syntacoben wires are very similar and have many of the same fatigue characteristics of specimens of large cross section. (b) Multi-stranded wires have the same average fatigue life as their individual constituent strands, but the variance of that life is smaller. (c) Deformities in the wire, which are created during the manufacturing, appear to
