Abstract
This paper reports the results of static tensile and low-cycle fatigue tests on S420M steel specimens. As-received (unstrained) and pre-strained specimens were used during the tests. Based on the static tensile tests carried out, no effect of pre-strain on the basic strength parameters of the S420M steel was found. Low-cycle fatigue tests showed that the pre-strain of the specimens causes a change in the cyclic properties of the steel and a slight increase in fatigue life compared to that of the as-received specimens. The greatest increase in durability was observed at the lowest strain levels.
