Abstract
A hot isostatically pressed specimen of the A357 alloy in T6 condition has been tested for fatigue performance in situ. During testing, multiple small cracks were observed during the first cycle, both in proximity to and far from the stress concentration. These cracks have competed to form a propagating crack, forming multiple crack paths initially. Once the propagating crack has been established, it has chosen paths from multiple cracks that have opened around the tip to grow further. All small cracks observed to open have been attributed to bifilms, i.e., liquid metal damage. It is imperative to develop processes that minimize liquid metal damage to enhance the fatigue performance of aluminum alloy castings.
期刊介绍:
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
