Texture or grain orientation was of crucial importance to fatigue crack propagation (FCP) in aluminium alloys due to boundary character between neighbouring grains and crack closure effect. The current understanding of the relationship among texture, grain size, slipping and crack propagation at fatigue stage I to III was reviewed and discussed. The recommendations for improving FCP resistance were proposed. Intensifying Goss, P and Q textures and moderating these grains were an effective method to improve FCP resistance in Paris regime. However, in stage I, due to the predominated crack closure effect, large grain is beneficial for improving the threshold value of crack propagation. Principally, excellent FCP resistance could be obtained at a balance of crack deflection and crack closure.
