The fatigue properties of 1100 aluminum in reverse bending were studied at vacuum levels varying from lo-' torr to atmospheric pressure. A substantial increase up to ten-fold in fatigue life was observed at pressures below 1O-2 torr which could be related to retardation of the crack propagation phas
