Abstract

Rotating bending fatigue test are carried out on the aluminum alloy 6063-T5 for corroded and non corroded specimens. Special attention is devoted to fatigue endurance reduction caused by controlled surface corrosion on corroded specimens. Corrosion attack is implemented by submersion of specimens in an acid solution for: two, four and six minutes in order to induce three degrees of surface corrosion. The corrosion agent is a solution of hydrochloric acid with a PH close to 0.8 and solution concentration of 38%. Rotating bending fatigue tests at frequency of 50 Hz, room temperature and without environmental humidity control are carried out on 4 types of specimens: without corrosion and 2, 4, and 6 minutes immersed in the solution of hydrochloric acid. Results are analyzed regarding the corrosion effect on fatigue endurance and conclusion are enlisted concerning rotating bending fatigue tests and corrosion attack on this aluminum alloy.
