Fatigue life analysis for 6061-T6 aluminum alloy based on surface roughness.

ABSTRACT: Surface condition is one of the dominant factors affecting fatigue life. Considering the complexity of surface condition, a relatively efficient and economic approach based on surface reconstruction and interpolation method was proposed. The effect of surface roughness on the fatigue life of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy is studied to analyze the fatigue life by surface roughness parameters. Surface topography was simplified into a series of elliptic micro notches, and empirical formula for stress concentration factor is established based on simulation work. Then the extraction method of surface curve is proposed to effectively represent the real surface roughness through 3D model reconstruction. Experiment of surface roughness verified the correctness of the model. The relationship between surface roughness and fatigue life is established and the calculated value of the fatigue life is compared with the test results. The maximum error is 15.65%, indicating that the formula established is reasonable and effective.

Surface roughness effect on fatigue strength of aluminum alloy using revised stress field intensity approach.

Project description:The fatigue strength of a component is known to highly depend on its surface quality, and it is thus necessary to develop a reliable and appropriate mathematical model for fatigue strength assessment that consider the effect of surface roughness. In this paper, different underlying physical mechanisms of the roughness effect at different regions of specimens were studied by fatigue testing of 7N01 aluminum alloy. For a quantitative analysis of the surface roughness effect, a revised stress field intensity approach for a fatigue strength assessment of microsized notches was proposed as a theoretical support. In the new model, a new form of weight function was built to adapt the characteristics of microsized notches. In addition, the effect of the field radius was fundamentally weakened on solution of the stress field intensity and the difficulty of fatigue failure region definition in the traditional method was overcome correspondingly in the proposed model, which made the calculated field strength accurate and objective. Finally, to demonstrate the validity of the revised approach quantitatively, specimens with conventionally sized notches were subjected to stress field intensity calculations. The results showed that the revised approach has satisfactory accuracy compared with the other two traditional approaches from the perspective of quantitative analysis.

Surface Characterizations of Fretting Fatigue Damage in Aluminum Alloy 7075-T6 Clamped Joints: The Beneficial Role of Ni-P Coatings.

Project description:This paper aims to characterize the surface damage as a consequence of fretting fatigue in aluminum alloy 7075-T6 plates in double-lap bolted joints through XRD, surface profilometry, and SEM analyses. The main focus was on the surface roughness and chemical phase composition of the damaged zone along with the identification of fretting fatigue crack initiations over the surface of the material. The surface roughness of the fretted zone was found to increase when the joint was clamped with a higher tightening torque and tested under the same cyclic loading. Additionally, MgZn₂ (η/ή) precipitates and ZnO phase were found to form onto the surface of uncoated aluminum plate in the fretted and worn zones. The formation of the ZnO phase was understood to be a result of frictional heat induced between the surface of contacting uncoated Al 7075-T6 plates during cyclic loading and exposure to the air. The beneficial role of electroless nickel-phosphorous (Ni-P) coatings in minimizing the fretting damage and thus improving the fretting fatigue life of the aluminum plates was also studied. The results showed that the surface roughness decreased by approximately 40% after applying Ni-P coatings to the Al 7075-T6 plates.

Creep-Fatigue Experiment and Life Prediction Study of Piston 2A80 Aluminum Alloy.

Project description:In order to improve the reliability and service life of vehicle and diesel engine, the fatigue life prediction of the piston in a heavy diesel engine was studied by finite element analysis of piston, experiment data of aluminum alloy, fatigue life model based on energy dissipation criteria, and machine learning algorithm. First, the finite element method was used to calculate and analyze the temperature field, thermal stress field, and thermal-mechanical coupling stress field of the piston, and determine the area of heavy thermal and mechanical load that will affect the fatigue life of the piston. Second, based on the results of finite element calculation, the creep-fatigue experiment of 2A80 aluminum alloy was carried out, and the cyclic response characteristics of the material under different loading conditions were obtained. Third, the fatigue life prediction models based on energy dissipation criterion and twin support vector regression are proposed. Then, the accuracy of the two models was verified using experiment data. The results show that the model based on the twin support vector regression is more accurate for predicting the material properties of aluminum alloy. Based on the established life prediction model, the fatigue life of pistons under actual service conditions is predicted. The calculation results show that the minimum fatigue life of the piston under plain condition is 2113.60 h, and the fatigue life under 5000 m altitude condition is 1425.70 h.

Welding Characteristics Analysis and Application on Spacecraft of Friction Stir Welded 2A14-T6 Aluminum Alloy.

Project description:According to the actual size parameters, the finite element model (FEM) of friction stir welding (FSW) was established, and the FEM was updated by experiments. The FSW of the 2A14-T6 high-strength aluminum alloy was simulated under a reasonable welding process parameter range, and the welding process parameters with good simulation effect were determined. The test was carried out under the same parameters, and the axial force of the FSW tool and temperature of the workpiece measuring point were collected. The comparison between the simulated data and the experimental data is reasonable, indicating the correctness of the FEM. The microstructure analysis of the welded joint shows that the grain size in the upper part of the weld nugget was smaller than that in the middle and lower parts, and there are obvious boundaries of grain size in each region of the joint. The hardness of the joint in the upper layer is higher than that in the middle and lower layers, and the minimum Vickers hardness value of the joint appears near the interface between the thermo-mechanically affected zone and the heat-affected zone on both sides of the weld. Tensile testing shows that the strength coefficient of the joint reaches 82.5% under this process parameter, and the sample breaks at the intersection of the material flow during stretching. After analyzing the final mechanical properties of the joint, we found that a degree of aerospace application can be achieved. Under this parameter, the welding test was carried out on the top cover of the rocket fuel tank. Firstly, melon valve welding, which is relatively difficult in welding conditions, was carried out, and a high-quality joint with good surface and no defects was obtained.

Stress-strain and microscopy data for fire-damaged aluminum alloy 6061 subjected to multiaxial loading.

Project description:Stress/strain data from mechanical testing of samples obtained from "as received" and fire damaged (400 °C and 500 °C) aluminum alloy 6061 plates is reported. Mechanical load information was obtained from load cells in the mechanical testing system while strain data was obtained from a digital imaging correlation system. For each plate condition (as received, 400 °C, 500 °C), four samples were machined along and across the rolling direction and subjected to four mechanical tests (tension, torsion, two combined tension/torsion tests) for a total of 24 unique combinations of condition, machining direction and loading path. Data from mechanical testing and digital imaging correlation systems was interpolated to generate stress/strain curves. Included data repository allows regeneration of stress/strain curves presented herein. Microscopy samples were obtained both from undeformed plates and deformed samples. Subsequent to polishing, EBSD was carried out and obtained microstructure and pole figures are reported.

Fatigue Strength Estimation Based on Local Mechanical Properties for Aluminum Alloy FSW Joints.

Project description:Overall fatigue strengths and hardness distributions of the aluminum alloy similar and dissimilar friction stir welding (FSW) joints were determined. The local fatigue strengths as well as local tensile strengths were also obtained by using small round bar specimens extracted from specific locations, such as the stir zone, heat affected zone, and base metal. It was found from the results that fatigue fracture of the FSW joint plate specimen occurred at the location of the lowest local fatigue strength as well as the lowest hardness, regardless of microstructural evolution. To estimate the fatigue strengths of aluminum alloy FSW joints from the hardness measurements, the relationship between fatigue strength and hardness for aluminum alloys was investigated based on the present experimental results and the available wide range of data from the references. It was found as: ?a (R = -1) = 1.68 HV (?a is in MPa and HV has no unit). It was also confirmed that the estimated fatigue strengths were in good agreement with the experimental results for aluminum alloy FSW joints.

A DIC-Based Study on Fatigue Damage Evolution in Pre-Corroded Aluminum Alloy 2024-T4.

Project description:This paper investigates the fatigue damage and cracking behavior of aluminum alloy 2024-T4 with different levels of prior corrosion. Damage evolution, crack initiation and propagation were experimentally analyzed by digital image correlation, scanning electron microscopy and damage curves. Prior corrosion is shown to cause accelerated damage accumulation, inducing premature fatigue crack initiation, and affecting crack nucleation location, crack orientation and fracture path. For the pre-corrosion condition, although multiple cracks were observed, only one corrosion-initiated primary crack dominates the failure process, in contrast to the plain fatigue cases, where multiple cracks propagated simultaneously leading to final coalescence and fracture. Based on the experimental observations, a mixed-mode fracture model is proposed and shown to successfully predict fatigue crack growth and failure from the single dominant localized corrosion region.

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Butt Joints between Stainless Steel SUS304L and Aluminum Alloy A6061-T6 by TIG Welding.

Project description:The tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding method most commonly used to weld ferrous metals, nonferrous metals, and other metals since it is simple, easily implemented, and achieves consistent high-quality welds. In this study, butt joints produced between aluminum alloy A6061-T6 and stainless steel SUS304L have been achieved by using TIG welding with ER4047 filler metal. The macrostructure and microstructure of the resulting specimens were analyzed by means of an optical microscope (OM), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). A uniform intermetallic layer was found at the interface between the stainless steel and the weld seam having a thickness of 2 µm, and the intermetallic compound (IMC) includes Fe?Al13, Fe?Al?, and FeAl? phases. The micro-hardness and tensile strength of the weld joints were also investigated. Due to Si content in the compensating metal, there was a prevention of iron diffusion into the aluminum, thus hindering the development of the IMC layer and reducing its thickness in such a way that the weld joint strength increases. The analyzed results show that the average micro-hardness of the stainless steel, weld seam, aluminum alloys, and IMC layer were 218 HV, 88.3 HV, 63.3 HV, and 411 HV, respectively. The fracture occurred at the brazed interface, and the ultimate tensile strength value reached 225 MPa.

Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of Tungsten Inert Gas Welding Ring Welded Joint of 7A05-T6/5A06-O Dissimilar Aluminum Alloy.

Project description:In this paper, Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG) and single-sided welding and double-sided forming have been used to weld the 7A05-T6/5A06-O dissimilar aluminum alloy circular welded joint of a ring-stiffened closed cylindrical sandwich shell. Microstructural characterization and mechanical properties of welded joints were investigated by use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), backscatter electron diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Hardness distribution and tensile properties of the welded joints were examined. The results showed the failure of the welded joints produced in the fusion zone (FZ). The tensile strength and yield strength of the welded joints were, respectively, 78.87% and 97.24% of the 5A06-O base metal (BM), and the elongation reached 84.29% of 7A05-T6 base metal. Welding high heat input led to the coarse grain size in the fusion zone, and the long-term similar quenching effect can lead to the full dissolution of the strengthening zone of the fusion zone resulting in the reductions of strength and hardness. Around 7A05 heat-affected zone (HAZ), there is an obvious hardening zone and softening zone, the solid solution precipitates into the Rayleigh brilliant η′ (MgZn₂) phase, which results in natural aging strengthening, thus obtaining high hardness. η′ (MgZn₂) enhanced phase dissolved fully and the dislocation density decreased rapidly in the HAZ region resulted in a softening zone with a lower hardness at about (10⁻18) mm from the center of the weld center.

Low Surface Roughness Graphene Oxide Film Reduced with Aluminum Film Deposited by Magnetron Sputtering.

Project description:Graphene film has wide applications in optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. A novel and facile method was reported for the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) film by electron transfer and nascent hydrogen produced between aluminum (Al) film deposited by magnetron sputtering and hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution for only 5 min, significantly shorter than by other chemical reduction methods. The thickness of Al film was controlled utilizing a metal detection sensor. The effect of the thickness of Al film and the concentration of HCl solution during the reduction was explored. The optimal thickness of Al film was obtained by UV-Vis spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurement of reduced GO film. Atomic force microscope images could show the continuous film clearly, which resulted from the overlap of GO flakes, the film had a relatively flat surface morphology, and the surface roughness reduced from 7.68 to 3.13 nm after the Al reduction. The film sheet resistance can be obviously reduced, and it reached 9.38 kΩ/sq with a high transmittance of 80% (at 550 nm). The mechanism of the GO film reduction by electron transfer and nascent hydrogen during the procedure was also proposed and analyzed.
