Tóm tắt

Ultrasonic and conventional fatigue tests were carried out on the AISI-SAE AA7075-T6 aluminum alloy, in order to evaluate the effect of artificial and induced pre-corrosion. Artificial pre-corrosion was obtained by two hemispherical pitting holes of 500-μm diameter at the specimen neck section, machined following the longitudinal or transverse direction of the testing specimen. Induced pre-corrosion was achieved using the international standard ESA ECSS-Q-ST-70-37C of the European Space Agency. Specimens were tested under ultrasonic fatigue technique at frequency of 20 kHz and under conventional fatigue at frequency of 20 Hz. The two applied load ratios were: R = −1 in ultrasonic fatigue tests and R = 0.1 in conventional fatigue tests. The main results were the effects of artificial and induced pre-corrosion on the fatigue endurance, together with the surface roughness modification after the conventional fatigue tests. Crack initiation and propagation were analyzed and numeric models were constructed to investigate the stress concentration associated with pre-corrosion pits, together with the evaluation of the stress intensity factor in mode I from crack initiation to fracture. Finally, the stress intensity factor range threshold ΔKTH was obtained for the base material and specimens with two hemispherical pits in transverse direction.
