You can read the fatigue curve files in any text editor (such as WordPad or Notepad), which have notes at the top that tell you what materials they are for. The files are located in the \System folder and end with the .fat file extension. These curves are also published in ASME Section VIII, Div. 2 (Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code), Appendix 5.
