Abstract

Rotating bending fatigue tests were performed for a squeeze cast Al alloy using the V-grooved specimen in order to investigate the influence of microstructure on the notch sensitivity which was assessed in terms of the limiting stress for crack initiation σω1 and that for crack propagation σω2.Although the influence of microstructure on the notch sensitivity for σω1 was hardly recoginized, the notch sensitivity for σω2 was low in larger size of microstructure.The results were discussed in view point of the influence of microstructure on the crack initiation and propagation behavior.
