Abstract
This work highlights the results of tests with overloads and underloads on aluminum samples in the region of near-threshold crack growth rates. Crack growth curves and fatigue life values were obtained that the classical fatigue life prediction models of Elber, Barsom, Wheeler and Willenborg could not explain. Fractographic analysis verified the correctness of the fatigue fracture curves. The chemical analysis of the oxygen content on the fractured surfaces of the sample by the method of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed the possibility of a relationship between the weight fraction of active particles and residual stresses in the material and confirmed some of the provisions of the theory of brittle microfracture on the effect of oxygen and hydrogen on fatigue crack propagation.
