Shot peening is a mechanical treatment that induces several changes in the material: surface roughness, increased hardness close to the surface, and, the most important, compressive residual stresses. This paper analyzes the effect of this treatment on alloy Al 7075-T651 in the case of fretting fatigue with cylindrical contact through the results of 114 fretting fatigue tests. There are three independent loads applied in this type of test: a constant normal load N, pressing the contact pad against the specimen; a cyclic bulk stress σ in the specimen; and a cyclic tangential load Q through the contact. Four specimens at each of 23 different combinations of these three parameters were tested—two specimens without any treatment and two treated with shot peening. The fatigue lives, contact surface, fracture surface, and residual stresses and hardness were studied. Improvement in fatigue life ranged from 3 to 22, depending on fatigue life. The relaxation of residual-stress distribution related to the number of applied cycles was also measured. Finally, another group of specimens treated with shot peening was polished and tested, obtaining similar lives as in the tests with specimens that were shot-peened but not polished.

Chemical Attack

The degradation process in fretting fatigue is due to mechanical and chemical attack between two contacting surfaces, being directly related to wear, corrosion and fatigue. There are many parameters that influence the fretting fatigue phenomenon out of which relative displacement, δ , normal load, n F , and tangential load t F , are the most important and consequently the most studied ones. This paper describes the fretting fatigue phenomenon occurring on a high strength aluminium alloy, Al7175. The aim of this study is to achieve a better understanding of the fretting fatigue behaviour by observing the evolution of the fatigue life of the specimen with the normal load, the tangential load and the relative displacement amplitude.

Stress in the interface of contacts was calculated applying finite element software/ABAQUS, with which the Ruiz fretting damage parameter was obtained and the location for crack formation was found. A new model for predicting fretting fatigue life has been presented based on friction work. The rationality and effectiveness of the model were validated according to the contrast of experiment life and predicting life. At last influence factor on fretting fatigue life of aerial aluminum alloy LY12CZ was investigated with the model. The results revealed that fretting fatigue life decreased monotonously with the increasing of normal load and then became constant at higher pressures. At low normal load, fretting fatigue life was found to increase with increase in the pad radius. At high normal load, however, the fretting fatigue life remained almost unchanged with changes in the fretting pad radius. The bulk stress amplitude had the dominant effect on fretting fatigue life. The fretting fatigue life diminished as the bulk stress amplitude increased.

ABSTRACT Aluminum and its alloys are widely used in the aeronautics industry due to its high lightness and ductility, and it can add other elements, thus changing its characteristics. Fatigue is the major cause of failure of metal materials due to the dynamic and oscillating stresses of the finished materials. The objective of this work is to evaluate the effect of Shot Peening with coverage percentages 1blasting, 3 blasting and 10 blasting in fatigue life of aluminum alloy AA 7475-T351. Shot Peening is a cold surface treatment used to increase fatigue life of the alloy by inducing residual stresses of compression on the surface of the part. In the Shot Peening process, spherical steel grids of type S230 were used, in which the specimens were subjected to 1blasting, 3 blasting and 10 blasting coverage in two stress levels (42 Ksi and 50 Ksi). The results presented in the fatigue tests and electron scanning (SEM) showed the increase in the mechanical properties of all the samples, and those exposed to 1 blasting and 3 blasting presented better results.

Special Approach

Fretting fatigue life is traditionally estimated by experiment. The objective of this work is to introduce a special approach for estimation of axial fretting fatigue life at elevated temperatures from plain fatigue test based on the critical distance theory. The method uses Fatemi–Socie parameter as a multiaxial criterion to compute the stress multiaxiality on focus path. This method considers only elastic behavior for materials, and two characteristic diagrams are obtained from plain fatigue tests on two U-shaped and V-shaped notched specimens. The results showed reasonable agreement between the predictions by the proposed method and the experiments for ambient temperature. For elevated temperatures, the results indicated that the predicted fretting fatigue life was considerably overestimated in the low cycle fatigue (LCF) regime and underestimated in the high cycle fatigue (HCF) region with respect to experimental measurements. The reason for such discrepancy is believed to be due to the complex behavior of AL 7075-T6, which exhibits at elevated temperatures because of the problems such as aging, oxidation and reduction of strength.

Element Analysis

The effects of shot-peening on the fretting fatigue behavior of titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V were investigated. Specimens were shot-peened as per AMS 2432 standard. X-ray diffraction analysis measured a maximum compressive stress of 800 MPa at the specimen surface, which reduced to zero at a depth of 188 μm. The compensatory residual tensile stress in the specimen was estimated using a curve fitting technique, the maximum value of which was found to be 260 MPa at a depth of 255 μm. Fretting fatigue tests were conducted at room temperature at a cyclic frequency of 200 Hz. Scanning electron microscopy of the shot-peened fretting fatigue specimens showed that the crack initiated at a point below the contact surface, the depth of which was in the range of 200–300 μm. Finite element analysis of the fretting fatigue specimens was also conducted. Fatigue life diagrams were established for the fretting fatigue specimens with and without shot-peening, and were compared to those under the plain fatigue condition, i.e. without fretting. Shot-peening improved the fretting fatigue life of Ti-6Al-4V; furthermore, it moved the crack initiation site from the fretting contact region to a region inside the specimen. Moreover, stress analysis showed that the fatigue failure of shot-peened specimens was caused by the compensatory tensile residual stress.

Isothermal Fatigue

One possibility to improve the fatigue life and strength of metallic materials is shot peening. However, at elevated temperatures, the induced residual stresses may relax. To investigate the influence of shot peening on high-temperature fatigue behavior, isothermal fatigue tests were conducted on shot-peened and untreated samples of gamma TiAl 48-2-2 at 750 °C in air. The shot-peened material was characterized using EBSD, microhardness, and residual stress analyses. Shot peening leads to a significant increase in surface hardness and high compressive residual stresses near the surface. Both effects may have a positive influence on lifetime. However, it also leads to surface notches and tensile residual stresses in the bulk material with a negative impact on cyclic lifetime. During fully reversed uniaxial tension-compression fatigue tests (R = −1) at a stress amplitude of 260 MPa, the positive effects dominate, and the fatigue lifetime increases. At a lower stress amplitude of 230 MPa, the negative effect of internal tensile residual stresses dominates, and the lifetime decreases. Shot peening leads to a transition from surface to volume crack initiation if the surface is not damaged by the shots.

Crack Growth Retardation

Fretting fatigue tests have been conducted on 7075-T7351 aluminum alloy coupons with fretting pads of the same material. Three different stress ratios were used, the otherwise constant amplitude axial loads being interrupted every 1000 cycles by either tensile overloads to 400 MPa or compressive underloads to −200 MPa. Tensile overloads greatly prolonged fatigue life for low stresses where the overload ratios were 1.6 and above; compressive underloads had comparatively little effect. The results are discussed in terms of crack growth retardation phenomena.
