In this study, the effect of contact pressure on fretting fatigue behavior of Al7075-T6 under cyclic normal contact loading is investigated. It is found that fretting fatigue life for the case of cyclic contact load was significantly less than that for constant contact load at the same axial and contact load levels, particularly for High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) conditions. The results showed that the fretting fatigue life decreased monotonically with the increase in normal contact load for all axial stresses. Examination of the fretting scars was performed using optical microscopy and numerical simulation was carried out using commercial finite element (FE) codes ABAQUS[Formula: see text] and FRANC2D/L[Formula: see text] to calculate the crack propagation life. The crack initiation life was calculated by a combination of numerical and experimental results. Finally, the FE simulation was validated by a comparison between the numerical crack growth rate and the experimental measurement using replica.

The main objective of this work was to study the influence of the wear properties of two commercial alloys (CK45 and Al7175) on their fretting fatigue behavior. It is verified the effect of material local degradation by wear on a fatigue strength reduction factor, namely the stress concentration factor, and on the overall fretting fatigue life of these materials. The fretting fatigue phenomenon is a synergetic effect between wear and fatigue. It is dependent on both the fatigue and the wear properties of the materials. Material properties promoting an increase in wear resistance should enhance fretting fatigue life.

Fretting fatigue tests have been conducted on 7075-T7351 aluminum alloy coupons with fretting pads of the same material. Three different stress ratios were used, the otherwise constant amplitude axial loads being interrupted every 1000 cycles by either tensile overloads to 400 MPa or compressive underloads to −200 MPa. Tensile overloads greatly prolonged fatigue life for low stresses where the overload ratios were 1.6 and above; compressive underloads had comparatively little effect. The results are discussed in terms of crack growth retardation phenomena.
