High Cycle Fatigue Characteristics of Aluminum Alloy by Shot Peening

Article Preview

Abstract:

An aluminum alloy is used in airplanes and aerospace to reduce the weight of structures. Recently, researchers have studied how to intensify the strength of aluminum alloys. Shot peening is one of method to reinforce strength by hitting the surface of materials to make residual stress. In this study, high cycle fatigue characteristics of aluminum alloy Al 7075-T6 and Al 2024-T4 were analyzed. Fatigue characteristics of before and after the shot peened materials were tested by cantilever-rotary bending fatigue test machine (YRB 200, Yamamoto). Also, fractographic analysis was performed by a Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the fatigue life of both shot peened materials increased more than others.
