Abstract The correlations among nominal threshold.intrinsic threshold, crack closure effect and crack wake of alloys 2090 and 8090 were investigated, and compared with that of alloys 7075 and 2024,respectively. Aluminum-lithium alloys possess a excellent threshold of long fatigue cracks and the stronger short crack effect,due to a higher level of crack closure effect and the dependent mentality of closure effect on crack wake.The growth resistance of microcracks of alloy 2090 is inferior to that for alloy 2024,which is attributed to the lower △Ki.△Ki of alloy 8090 is equal to that of alloy 2024, and its growth resistance of short crack is equal or superior to alloy 2024. Furthermore, influence of minor rare earth element Ce on the growth behavior of physically-short cracks for aluminum-lithium alloys 2090 and 8090was studied. A significant improvement in intrinsic threshold and a certain increase in crack closure effect can be achieved by adding Ce into alloy 2090. As result, the notable increase in the growth resistance of long and short fatigue cracks has been obtained. On the contrary,the intrinsic threshold is decreased by adding Ce into alloy 8090, which results in a harmful influence on the growth resistance of long and short fatigue cracks for this alloy.
