Incremental fatigue damage modeling of 7050-T7 aluminum alloy at stress-raisers

Evaluation of continuum damage at different temperatures for aluminum-silicon alloy of engine piston within low-cycle fatigue regime

In this article, the isothermal low-cycle fatigue continuum damage in the engine piston aluminum alloy has been evaluated at different temperatures. For this objective, experimental data of low-cycle fatigue tests on standard specimens were used at 280, 350 and 425°C. Based on the continuum damage mechanics method, the fatigue damage was calculated during cyclic loading. Obtained results, inclu...

Investigation of Coating Cracking and Fatigue Strength of 7050-T74 Aluminum Alloy with Different Anodize Coating Thicknesses

Effect of Coil Configuration on Conversion Efficiency of EMAT on 7050 Aluminum Alloy

Compared to traditional ultrasonic detection methods, the electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) technique can be applied in many hostile environments such as elevated temperatures, on-line inspections, etc. However, the EMAT technique has a low conversion efficiency. This paper develops a numerical model to study the effects of the coil configurations on the conversion efficiency of shear-...

A Study on the Susceptibility to SCC of 7050 Aluminum Alloy by DCB Specimens

The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of different aging states for 7050 aluminum alloy in 3.5% sodium chloride aqueous solution has been studied by means of double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens, cathodic polarization, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and time-of-flying second ion mass spectrometer (ToF-SIMS). The results showed that the susceptibility ...
