Improved prediction of low-cycle fatigue life for high-pressure die-cast aluminium alloy AlSi9Cu3 with significant porosity

The fatigue life of a high-pressure die-cast alloy, AlSi9Cu3, with significant porosity is investigated. Standard specimens were cyclically loaded (R =-1) until fatigue rupture occurred. The specimens were [micro]-CT scanned to obtain a 3D representation of the pores. Models were used to computationally predict the fatigue life using two different methods. First, the fatigue life was predicted using a notch-strain approach combined with a Coffin- Manson durability relationship for homogeneous material. Second, the fatigue life was predicted using an homogenised un-notched model that was combined with an adapted Coffin-Manson relationship which consid-ered a fatigue life reduction due to different pore effects.

Abstract

Raziskava zajema analizo dobe trajanja zlitine AlSi9Cu3 s prisotno visoko stopnjo poroznosti. Preizkušanci standardnih oblik so bili ciklično obremenjeni (R = -1), do nastalega utrujenostnega loma. Vzorci so bili ob tem [mikro]-CT skenirani, da smo določili 3D geometrijo por. Modeli so bili nato uporabljeni pri izračunu dobe trajanja po dveh različnih metodah. Prvič, dobo trajanja smo napovedali po pristopu z zareznim učinkom v kombinaciji s Coffin-Manson razmerjem za homogeni material. Drugič, dobo trajanja smo napovedali ob uporabi homogenega idealiziranega modela, v kombinaciji s prilagojenim nivojem Coffin-Manson krivulje, ki upošteva znižanje dobe trajanja zaradi različnih učinkov por.
