Abstract
IT is known that the fatigue strengths of lead and aluminium are affected by the presence of the atmosphere during fatigue stressing1–4. The present communication reports the results of experiments on the dependence of the fatigue life of lead and aluminium on air pressure at room temperature, 22° C.
