The fatigue crack propagation behaviors of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy are investigated in different environments and with varying stress ratios. Fatigue experiments are carried out via a fatigue crack growth rate test in laboratory air, a 3.5% (mass fraction) NaCl solution and a tank seeper. The results show that a corrosion environment has an obvious influence on the fatigue crack growth rate, and the degrees of influence of the two different corrosive environments are basically identical. When the stress ratio is R = 0.5 and 0.06 with a decrease of the stress intensity factor, the difference in the crack propagation rates for the corrosion and air environments gradually increases. However, the corrosion acceleration in each stage of crack propagation is obvious while R=−1.

The fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) characteristics of Laser Shock Peened (LSP) titanium 6Al-4V were examined and compared to those of unprocessed material. The FCGR resistance of LSP processed material tested at low stress ratios (R) is shown to be significantly greater than for unprocessed, baseline material. The increased damage tolerance can be attributed to the large residual compressive stresses generated by the LSP process. Differences in the growth rate behavior due to LSP can be accounted for by using the closure corrected effective stress intensity range, ΔKeff, which takes into account only the portion of loading above the crack opening load. The rationale of using ΔKeff is also demonstrated through fractographic investigations.

Beryllium Copper

Some fatigue crack growth data have been obtained for age-hardened beryllium copper. The fatigue crack growth rate was found to be very dependent on the hardness and tensile mean stress. This dependence is believed to be associated with the intense residual stresses surrounding Preston-Guinier zones.
