In this study, the mechanical properties and fatigue life of 19501 aluminum alloy friction stir welded T-joint is investigated. Tensile properties of friction stir welded joint show that there is a marginal reduction of about 5% in strength and ductility as compared to unwelded 19501 aluminum alloy. Fatigue test results of T-joint specimen at two stress ratios of 0 and -1 show that there is a reduction of 15% in fatigue strength due to change of stress ratio from -1 to 0. Also, higher variation is seen in fatigue strength in low cycle zone than the high cycle zone. Effect of mean stress on fatigue life is discussed on the basis of different mean stress effect models. Morrow’s mean stress effect model is found to be better than other models. Micrographs from the fracture surfaces of retreating side, mid weld zone, and advancing side of the T-joint indicates that fracture surfaces are cleavage fracture. Different sizes of inter-metallic bonding are seen in the micrographs, which indicate that fracture is initiated due to breaking of the brittle inter-metallic bonding.

The paper presents the experimental fatigue test results for cyclic constant amplitude loading conditions for the case of the torsion of the PA4 (AW-6082-T6), PA6 (AW-2017A-T4) and PA7 (AW-2024-T3) aluminum alloy for a drilled diabolo type test specimen. The tests have been performed for the stress asymmetry ratios R = −1, R = −0.7, R = −0.5 and R = −0.3. The experimental results have been used in the process of a fatigue life estimation performed for a random generated narrowband stress signal with a zero and a non-zero global mean stress value. The calculations have been performed within the time domain with the use of the rainflow cycle counting method and the Palmgren−Miner damage hypothesis. The mean stress compensation has been performed with the S-N curve mean stress model proposed by Niesłony and Böhm. The model has been modified in terms of torsional loading conditions. In order to obtain an appropriate R = 0 ratio S-N curve fatigue strength amplitude, the Smith−Watson−Topper model was used and compared with literature fatigue strength amplitudes. The presented solution extends the use of the correction model in terms of the torsional loading condition in order to obtain new S-N curves for other R values on the basis of the R = −1 results. The work includes the computational results for new fatigue curves with and without the mean stress effect correction. The results of the computations show that the mean stress effect plays a major role in the fatigue life assessment of the tested aluminum alloys and that the method can be used to assess the fatigue life under random conditions.
