Using the scanning electron microscope, fatigue striations in secondary microcracks normal to the main fatigue cracks have been observed on fracture surfaces of fatigue specimens made from 2024 and 2618 aluminium alloys, a Ti-6AI-V titanium alloy, and an Incolloy 901 nickel-base refractory alloy.

โฆ Synopsis
In the present paper a very simple phenomenological theory of crack propagation during fatigue experiments is presented. It is shown that an important role is played by work-hardening to explain both the existence of a fatigue limit and the well known deviations from Miner's Rule in the case of tests conducted at varying maximum applied stresses. Although approximate, the theory can account for the main phenomena involved in fatigue experiments.

An experimental test facility was developed to perform thermo-mechanical fatigue crack growth experiments. The thermal cycles were generated using hot and cold air flows distributed by a nozzle onto the test specimen. With the equipment it was possible to obtain TMF cycles with cycle times of 120 s
