To overcome issues related to the precise consideration of the crack-closure effects on experimental data obtained at small R ratios, closure-free data have been obtained at R ≈ 0.8 by different experimental procedures. The statistical analysis of the intrinsic fatigue crack propagation threshold obtained experimentally has shown a small data scatter and good agreement between procedures. When compared with effective values obtained from analytical corrections of closure-affected data, the data obtained at R ≈ 0.8 should lead to a conservative life estimation.
