| description | The paper presents results of the investigations on the effect of the low-temperature thermomechanical treatment on the microstructure of AlZn6Mg0.8Zr alloy (7003 alloy) and the relationships between microstructure and fatigue properties and fractography of fractured samples. Fatigue life has been determined in a mechanical test at a simple state of loading under conditions of bending as well as torsion. The development of fatigue cracking has been described based on fractography investigations of the fractured samples making use of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that the factors determining the fatigue strength of the tested alloy are the microstructure as well as the type and size of the cyclic stresses. These factors determine the fractography of fatigue samples. |
