The near threshold fatigue crack growth in ultrafine-grained (UFG) copper at room
temperature was studied in comparison to conventional coarse-grained (CG) copper. The fatigue
crack growth rates da/dN in UFG copper were enhanced at <K > 7 MPa@m compared to the CG
material. The crack closure shielding, as evaluated using the compliance variation technique,
was shown to explain these differences. The effective stress intensity factor amplitude <Keff
appears to be the same driving force in both materials. Tests performed in high vacuum on UFG
copper demonstrate the existence of a huge effect of environment with growth rates higher of
about two orders of magnitude in air compared to high vacuum. This environmental effect on
the crack path and the related microstructure is discussed on the basis of fractography
observations performed using scanning electron microscope and completed with field emission
scanning electron microscope combined with the focused ion beam technique. The near threshold fatigue crack growth in ultrafine-grained (UFG) copper at room
