Abstract: |
Aluminum alloy was tested with accelerated corrosion method. The corrosion pits were seen as ellipse balls and examined with QUESTAR three-dimensional optics microscope. The results showed that the depth and width of corrosion pits increasing with corrosion time and in according with power function, but the acceleration decrease; Corrosion can reduce the fatigue life of the materials significantly and is the main cause of fatigue crack formation and growth; AFGROW software can simulate crack growth life well and the error is low; the crack growth life and critical crack length obtained by AFGROW simulation are conservative than experiment values. |
