Fatigue Behavior of Aerospace Al-Cu, Al-Li and Al-Mg-Si Sheet Alloys

Abstract:

In the present work, an experimental study was performed to characterize and analyze the tensile and constant amplitude fatigue mechanical behavior of several aluminum alloys, namely 2024 (Al-Cu), 2198 (Al-Li) and 6156 (Al-Mg-Si). Al-Li alloy was found to be superior of 2024 in the high cycle fatigue and fatigue endurance limit regimes, especially when considering specific mechanical properties. Alloy 6156 was found to have superior constant amplitude fatigue performance that the respective 6xxx series alloys; more than 15% higher endurance limit was noticed against 6061 and almost 30% higher than 6082. Alloy 6156 presented only a marginal increase in fatigue life for the HCF regime.
