Abstract
This study conducts stress-controlled cyclic tension-tension tests from room temperature (RT) to 200 °C, at 50 °C intervals, on high-purity Cu films to comprehensively understand the temperature-dependent fatigue life and the related microstructural and fracture characteristics. As evidenced by the electron backscattering diffraction analysis, the Ʃ3 boundary fraction decreases and the low-angle grain boundary fraction increases as the temperature increases. The significant change in the grain structure at high temperatures leads to a reduced fatigue life. The fatigue striations are closely spaced at RT and the fracture surface develops into the typical fatigue striation and the void zones.
