Research literature on dislocation substructures formed in face-centered cubic metals and alloys under fatigue loading was reviewed. The materials were classified into 3 groups according to the types of dislocation sub-structures formed at the onset of fatigue loading and transformation sequences occurring on further loading. Quantitative results obtained from investigations of the evolution pattern of the defect sub-system formed under fatigue loading were examined.
