The relationship between low cycle fatigue (LCF) and monotonic tensile fracture strain was investigated for cast Al-Cu-Mn-Zr alloys containing 6 and 9 wt% Cu at 250 °C. The 9% Cu alloy consisted of larger size and volume fraction of brittle intermetallic grain boundary particles that fractured during tensile tests to reduce the fracture strain by 50% compared to the 6% Cu alloy. We found that LCF life was similar between the two alloys and weakly influenced by the particles. LCF life and fracture strain were poorly correlated due to the dominant influence of particles on monotonic tensile crack but not on fatigue crack.
