摘要
Abstract— Fatigue crack growth and threshold behaviour have been examined in three commercial aluminium alloys in both air and vacuum environments. It was observed that, in air, the threshold stress intensity range ΔKt, varied linearly with the ΔKt ratio. In contrast ΔK, in vacuum was found to be independent of R. Over the whole growth rate range examined fatigue crack growth in vacuum was ΔK controlled and failure occurred by a dimple and ductile striation mechanism. This also applied to failure in the intermediate growth rate ranges in air. However, at slow growth rates in air, fatigue crack growth was structure sensitive and crystallographic facets were formed during the crack propagation process. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell.
