Abstract
The suggestion, made in a recent paper, that a high value (0·5-0·8) of the ratio F.L./U.T.S. is an exclusive feature of b.c.c. metals is questioned since fatigue ratios of 0·5 can be obtained from both f.c.c. aluminium-magnesium alloys and hexagonal titanium alloys. It is suggested that the high value is associated with strong dislocation locking irrespective of crystal structure.Keywords
