Microstructure dependent fatigue crack growth in aged hardened aluminium alloys

Fatigue crack propagation tests in constant amplitude loading, as well as with single peak overloads, have been performed in AlMgSi1-T6 aluminium alloys with different Mn and Cr contents. Crack closure was monitored in all tests by the compliance technique using a pin microgauge. A moderate stress r...
