Abstract
The transition point of fatigue crack growth (FCG) between the near-Delta K -th and the Paris regions is an important value to study fatigue behavior. This study introduces a curve-fitting technique to identify this point for nickel-based superalloy U720 with stress ratio of R = 0.1 at room temperatu re. The value of Delta K-th under these conditions is also determined.
