As a part of study on data scattering of fatigue strength of aluminum alloys, the P-S-N diagrams of the notched and unnotched specimens of A5083-0 and A7N01-T6 (Al-Zn-Mg) alloys were obtained.
(1) The fatigue strength of th unnotched 5083-0 alloy is 15.22kg/mm
2 and 14.73kg/mm
2 for 50% and 90% survivors at 10
7 cycles, respectively, while those of the A7N01-T6 alloy are 18.28kg/mm
2 and 17.75kg/mm
2. The notched A5083-0 alloy specimens with the stress-concentration factor of 3.0 have the fatigue strength of 6.28kg/mm
2 for 50% survivors and of 5.77kg/mm
2 for 90% survivors. The notched A7N01-T6 alloy specirnens with the similar shape have the fatigue strength of 11.38kg/mm
2 and 11.02kg/mm
2 for the corresponding cases.
(2) The P-N line shows a linearelation on the log-normal probability representation. However, when the stress level is close to the fatigue strength at 10
7 cycles, the P-N curves are composecl of two straight lines. This suggests that the fracture mechanism at the low stress level is different from that at the high stress level.
(3) The fatigue strength, obtained by the staircase method, at 10
7 cycles reasonably agrees with that calculated from the P-S-N diagram under the assumption of the straight P-N line. However, the strength of 10% survivors, obtained from the P-S-N diagram, lies in the dangerous area.
