The effect of heat treatment condition on non-Cu AA7021 alloy was investigated with respect to mechanical properties and very high cycle fatigue behavior. With a focus on the influence of heat treatment, AA7021 alloy was solution heat-treated at 470 °C for 4 h and aged at 124 °C. Comparing the results of solution-treated and peak-aged AA7021 alloy shows a significant increase in Vickers hardness and tensile strength. The hardness of AA7021 alloy was increased by 65% after aging treatment, and both tensile strength and yield strength were increased by 50~80 MPa in each case. In particular, this paper investigated the very high cycle fatigue behavior of AA7021 alloy with the ultrasonic fatigue testing method using a resonance frequency of 20 kHz. The fatigue results showed that the stress amplitude of peak-aged AA7021 alloy was about 50 MPa higher than the solution-treated alloy at the same fatigue cycles. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the size of the crack initiation site was larger after peak aging than after solution treatment.

During technical operation, high performance materials are partially exposed to high frequency cyclic loading conditions. Furthermore, the small strains in the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF)-regime lead to accumulative damage which causes crack initiation related to an appropriate local deformation leading to final fatal fracture. At the same time, quite high requirements with regard to high number of cycles without any damage are demanded for many applications. Fields of application of these light-weight, but expensive materials, are e.g. in the automobile industry (e.g. engine blocks, cylinder heads, brakes).The fatigue behavior of Al-matrix composites (Al-MMCs) reinforced by alumina particles (15 vol.% Al2O3) or short fibers (20 vol.% Saffil), respectively, was already intensively studied in the LCF and HCF range. The present study is focusing on investigations in the very high cycle fatigue regime at stress amplitudes up to 140 MPa to reach fatigue life of about 1010 cycles. All experiments were carried out using an ultrasonic fatigue testing device under symmetric loading conditions (R=-1). Fatigue tests were accompanied by in situ thermography measurements to record the temperature of the whole specimen and to find “hot spots” indicating changes in microstructure and therefore the initiation or growth of cracks. Moreover, the resonant frequency as well as the damage parameter were evaluated to determine the beginning of damage. For a better understanding of the damage mechanism (matrix decohesion, matrix failure or failure of reinforcement) all fractured surfaces were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The combination of these methods contributes to a better understanding of the underlying mechanism of damage in aluminum-matrix-composites.

As being used for structural applications, where a high corrosion resistance is required, the fatigue behavior of duplex stainless steels (DSS) is governed by the partition of cyclic plasticity to the two phases, ferrite and austenite, respectively. Under very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) loading conditions, the heterogeneous distribution of crystallographic misorientations between neighboring grains and phases yields to a pronounced scatter in fatigue life, ranging from 1 million to 1 billion cycles for nearly the same stress amplitude. In addition, the relevant damage mechanisms depend strongly on the atmosphere. Stress corrosion cracking in NaCl-containing atmosphere causes a pronounced decrease in the VHCF life. By means of ultrasonic fatigue testing at 20kHz in combination with high resolution scanning electron microscopy, electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD), focused ion beam milling (FIB) and synchrotron tomography, the microstructure heterogeneities were quantified and correlated with local fatigue damage. It has been shown that the fatigue process is rather complex, involving redistribution of residual stresses and three-dimensional barrier effects of the various interfaces. The application of a 2D/3D finite element model allows a qualitative prediction of the fatigue-damage process in DSS that is controlled by stochastic local microstructure arrangements.

We reviewed the research and developments in the field of fatigue failure, focusing on very-high cycle fatigue (VHCF) of metals, alloys, and steels. We also discussed ultrasonic fatigue testing, historical relevance, major testing principles, and equipment. The VHCF behavior of Al, Mg, Ni, Ti, and various types of steels were analyzed. Furthermore, we highlighted the major defects, crack initiation sites, fatigue models, and simulation studies to understand the crack development in VHCF regimes. Finally, we reviewed the details regarding various issues and challenges in the field of VHCF for engineering metals and identified future directions in this area.
