Fatigue tests were carried out at frequent of 20 kHz for 5083 aluminum alloy. The loading way is uniaxial and bending loading. The S-N curve of uniaxial loading presents a duplex curve corresponding to surface fracture and interior fracture. However the S-N curve of the bending fatigue shows the continuous curve. This demonstrates that different loading ways lead to different S-N curve characteristics. For uniaxial loading, almost all crack initiated interior of specimen in the very high cycle regime. The crack source zone appears wear away because of the constant pressure and grinding of this area in the process of cyclic loading. For the symmetric bending loading, the crack of corner in the specimen expands at different rates and direction.

According to the loading characteristics of engine blades, a vibration bending fatigue system by using the ultrasonic fatigue test technique has been developed and the specimen is designed by finite element method, fatigue tests of TC17 between 106and 109cycles have been completed in this paper. The results show that the fatigue life of specimen increases over 107cycles and the initiation of fatigue cracks transfers from only in the surface of specimen to both in the surface and the sub-surface with loading decreasing.

The purpose of the present research project is to study multiaxial fatigue behavior of 2618 alloy. The influence of mean stress on the fatigue behavior under tension and torsion is particularly investigated. Fatigue tests under combined tensile-torsion, in or out of phase, as well as combined tensile-torsion-internal pressure tests have also been conducted. Multiaxial fatigue results are analyzed according to Fatemi-Socie criterion to predict the fatigue life.

An improved understanding of fatigue behavior of a cast aluminum alloy (2-AS5U3G-Y35) in very high cycle regime was developed through ultrasonic fatigue test in axial and torsion loading, cyclic loading in axial and torsion at 35 Hz and 20kHz with R=-1 was used respectively to demonstrate the effect of loading condition. S-N curves obtained show that fatigue failure occurred in range of 105 -1010 cycles in axial or torsion loading, the asymptote of S-N curve is inclined gently, but no fatigue limit under torsion and axial loading condition. Fatigue fracture surface shows fatigue crack essentially initiated from the surface of the specimens subjected to cyclic torsion load, it is different from the fatigue fracture characteristic in axial loading which fatigue crack initiate from subsurface defect in very high cycle regime. Fatigue initiation is on the maximum shear plane, the overall crack orientation is observed on a typical spiral 45° to the fracture plane, which is the maximum principle stress plane, however, shear strip are very clear in the torsion fatigue fracture surface, the torsion fracture is actually in shear fracture.

Abstract The effect of chromic acid anodizing (CAA) surface treatment on 7050 T7451 aluminum alloy was presented in this study in terms of fatigue behavior. CAA is a treatment against corrosion by producing aluminum oxide layer (Al2O3) at the surface. However, fatigue performance of 7050 T7451 is affected by the coating. In this study, eight different CAA processes were examined with regard to etching stage of pre-treatments by using an alkaline etchant and/or acid etchants with various immersion times. Optical microscopic examinations were applied in order to determine pitting characteristics for the selection of CAA process parameters before fatigue tests. A CAA process was selected among eight processes in terms of pitting characteristics in order to apply fatigue specimens. Four fatigue test groups were determined to investigate bare condition of 7050 T7451 and sub-stages of the CAA particularly. Constant amplitude axial fatigue tests were conducted on specimens at 91 Hz at stress ratio (R) -1 until run-out criteria, which was 106 cycles. Fatigue life reduction was determined due to pretreatments of CAA. Fracture surfaces of the specimens were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) to investigate morphology and crack initiation sites.

Laser shock peening has established itself as an effective surface treatment to enhance the fatigue properties of metallic materials. Although a number of works have dealt with the formation of residual stresses, and their consequent effects on the fatigue behavior, the influence of material geometry on the peening process has not been widely addressed. In this paper, Laser Peening without Coating (LPwC) is applied at the surface of a notch in specimens made of a 6082-T6 aluminum alloy. The treated specimens are tested by three-point bending fatigue tests, and their fatigue life is compared to that of untreated samples with an identical geometry. The fatigue life of the treated specimens is found to be 1.7 to 3.3 times longer. Brinell hardness measurements evidence an increase in the surface hardness of about 50%, following the treatment. The material response to peening is modelled by a finite element model, and the compressive residual stresses are computed accordingly. Stresses as high as −210 MPa are present at the notch. The ratio between the notch curvature and the laser spot radius is proposed as a parameter to evaluate the influence of the notch.

Roller burnishing (RB) and friction stir processing (FSP) were applied to a cast aluminum alloy, AC4CH-T6 (equivalent to A356-T6), to improve the fatigue properties. In roller burnished specimens, Vickers hardness was increased until the depth of 60μm compared with that of the as-cast specimens, resulting in work-hardening by RB. The compressive residual stress on the surface of the roller burnished specimens was also increased from 35MPa to 132MPa. In order to investigate the effect of RB on the fatigue properties, rotary bending fatigue tests have been performed using the roller burnished and the as-cast specimens. The roller burnished specimens exhibited higher fatigue strength than the untreated specimens. It is due to the increase in hardness and compressive residual stress by RB. In addition, plane bending fatigue tests have been performed using the friction stir processed and untreated specimens. Fatigue strengths of the friction stir processed specimens were highly improved compared with untreated specimens as the results of the elimination of casting defects by FSP. However, the crack growth rates of the friction stir processed specimens were faster than those of untreated specimens. It is due to the softening of the material by heat input during the FSP.
