OK, just to be fair, I looked at the WIKI page. The last sentence in it is:

The concept of endurance limit was introduced in 1870 by August Wöhler.[15] However, recent research suggests that endurance limits do not exist for metallic materials, that if enough stress cycles are performed, even the smallest stress will eventually produce fatigue failure.[7][16]

This appears to apply to all metals, including steel and aluminum.
