THE EFFECT OF GRAIN SIZE ON THE FATIGUE OF COMMERCIALLY ...
Abstract— Fully reversed uniaxial fatigue tests were performed on polished hour‐glass specimens of commercially pure aluminium with three different grain sizes, in order to examine the effect of grain size on fatigue. The growth of surface cracks was monitored by a plastic replication method. An improvement in fatigue strength was observed, as the polycrystal grain size was refined.
