Notes:
Fatigue strength optimization of cast aluminium alloys requires an understanding of the role of micropores resulting from the casting process. High cycle fatigue tests conducted on cast A356-T6 show that the pore size and proximity to the specimen surface significantly influence fatigue crack initiation. This is supported by finite element analyses (both elastic and elastic–plastic) which demonstrate that high stress/strain concentration is induced by pores which are both large and near to the specimen surface. A new pore-sensitive model based on a modified stress-life approach has been developed which correlates fatigue life with the size of the failure-dominant pore. The model prediction is in good agreement with experimental data.
