This paper investigates the growth behavior of fatigue cracks initiated at corrosion pits in laboratory coupons of LC9 aluminum alloy subjected to a transport aircraft loading spectrum. Corrosion pits were introduced by exposing the coupons to EXCO solution for a variety of periods to produce corrosion damage varying from mild to severe. In general, the presence of corrosion damage reduced the fatigue lives of components to a severe extent. It was found that the depth of the corrosion pit was a suitable parameter for characterizing the corrosion damage and for predicting the fatigue life of the coupons using commercial fatigue crack growth software

The production of aluminum alloy components through sheet forming processes conducted at elevated temperatures is gaining more and more interest as it gives raise to the possibility of a significant enhancement of the metal formability characteristics, compared to room temperature forming. Aluminum alloy AA5083 blanks, which present a limited formability at room temperature, are usually formed through superplastic forming at elevated temperature: however, this processing route is too slow to be applicable for large batch production, typical for instance of the automotive industry. The paper is aimed at exploring the formability characteristics of the AA5083 when deformed at elevated temperature, but in a range of strain rates higher than those usually applicable in superplastic forming. To this aim, uni-axial tensile tests were carried out, in order to record the material formability characteristics as a function of temperature and strain rate, and to correlate them with the developed microstructural features. It is shown that it is possible to work at higher strain rates, still preserving a significant formability, even without using a conventional fine-grained superplastic alloy.

This paper presents the main achievements of a research project aimed at investigating the applicability of the hot stamping technology to non heat treatable aluminium alloys of the 5052 H32 and heat treatable aluminium alloys of the 6016 T4P after six months natural aging. The formability and mechanical properties of 5052 H32 and 6016 T4P aluminum alloy sheets after six months natural aging under different temperature conditions were studied, the processing characteristics and potential of the two aluminium alloy at room and elevated temperature were investigated. The results indicated that the 6016 aluminum alloy sheet exhibit better mechanical properties at room temperature. 5052 H32 aluminum alloy sheet shows better formability at elevated temperature, and it has higher potential to increase formability by raising the temperature.
