Abstract
The growth rates of fatigue cracks in massive plates of a gold-nickel alloy agree reasonably well with a quantitative prediction applicable to other metallic materials. This implies that fatigue crack growth rates in other gold-based alloys can also be predicted with a degree of confidence.
