Fatigue resistance of AlSi11 alloy plastically wedged of chips

Fatigue and Anisotropic behaviours of cold rolled AA1200 Aluminium Alloy

This study examines the fatigue and anisotropy behaviour of cold rolled AA1200 aluminium alloy for light weight automotive connecting rod application. Aluminium (Al) 1200 ingots were melted at temperature of 680 0C (after one hour of heating) cast in sand mould and cast samples homogenized for 6 hrs at 480 0C. The cold rolling process was carried out after homogenisation for 10, 20, 30, 40 and ...

Fatigue and corrosion fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V implant grade titanium alloy in Ringer solution

Nowadays modification of metallic biomaterials which are used as implants for bone and hard tissues replacement is considered as an important subject. In the current study, corrosion fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy investigated via Rotating-Bending standard test method and then, the results compared with the fatigue properties of the specimens tested in the same conditions. Scanning elect...

Microstructure-sensitive investigation of magnesium alloy fatigue

Enhancing Wear Resistance of Squeeze Cast AC2A Aluminum Alloy

The effect of squeeze casting process parameters on wear behavior of AC2A aluminium alloy was primarily investigated in this experimental study. Five process parameters, namely squeeze pressure, pouring temperature, die temperature, die material and compression time, each at four levels were chosen and sixteen experimental runs based on L16 orthogonal array were performed. From analysis of vari...

Effect of Low Cycle Fatigue Predamage on Very High Cycle Fatigue Behavior of TC21 Titanium Alloy

The effect of low cycle fatigue (LCF) predamage on the subsequent very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior is investigated in TC21 titanium alloy. LCF predamage is applied under 1.8% strain amplitude up to various fractions of the expected life and subsequent VHCF properties are determined using ultrasonic fatigue tests. Results show that 5% of predamage insignificantly affects the VHCF limit du...
