The crack propagation properties for ultrafine-grained Zn -22 wt % Al alloy during low cycle fatigue (LCF) in the superplastic region and the non-superplastic region were investigated and compared with the corresponding results for several other materials. With the Zn - 22 wt % Al alloy, it was possible to conduct LCF tests even at high strain amplitudes of more than ±5%, and the alloy appeared to exhibit a longer LCF lifetime than the other materials examined. The fatigue life is higher in the superplastic region than in the non-superplastic region. The rate of fatigue crack propagation in the superplastic region is lower than that in the other materials in the high J-integral range. In addition, the formation of cavities and crack branching were observed around a crack tip in the supereplastic region. We therefore conclude that the formation of cavities and secondary cracks as a result of the relaxation of stress concentration around the crack tip results in a reduction in the rate of fatigue crack propagation and results in a longer fatigue lifetime.
