โฆ Synopsis
A~~act-Elevate-tem~rature fatigue crack growth behavior was investigated on a rotor steel. Increasing the tem~rature increased the rates of crack propagation. The activation energy for high-temperature crack growth was found to be comparable to that for oxide formation. A repeated process of crack-tip oxide formation and oxide cracking was suggested to be. the possible mechanism for promoting elevated-temperature, air-environment fatigue crack propagation. A comparison of crack growth rates in air and argon environments seemed to support the proposed mechanism.

The results of an experimental study designed to determine the temperature dependence of salt water-inhanced fatigue crack growth are presented in this paper. It was found that the rate of crack-growth is constant over an extended range of crack-tip intensity. The activation energy calculated from s
