Abstract
Thin foils of an aluminium alloy containing the fracture surface were studied in the electron microscope. The fatigue striations were visible due to thickness contrast and bands of dislocations. Supplementary etch pit studies and stereographic measurements were carried out. In many cases the crack plane was close to (100) or (110). The mechanism of fatigue crack propagation is discussed in the light of the new evidence.
