All the specimens in different heat histories exhibit cyclic strain hardening in different degrees. It is difficult to distinguish the fatigue behavior of the die casting specimens from that of the solution aging specimens. The solution treated specimens show longer fatigue life at high strain amplitude and shorter fatigue life at low strain amplitude than the die casting and solution aging specimens though they have the lowest yield strength with higher strain hardening. Fatigue fracture surfaces for strain amplitude larger than 0.005 show very similar to those found by monotonic tensile tests. The SEM examination reveals that the regions of fatigue crack growth and final fracture can be characterized by quasi-cleavage mechanisms, but some shallow dimples, slip bands and secondary cracks are found on the fracture surface in the fracture crack growth areas.展开更多

Based on theoretical analysis of heat shock phenomenon, two characteristic parameters of die damage caused by heat shock were proposed, which are heat shock plastic deformation index (HSPI) and heat shock crack index (HSCI). The effect of heat shock on die plastic deformation and fracture behaviors was described quantitatively by these two parameters. HSPI represents approaching of heat shock stress to die yield stress. Plastic deformation will happen on a die if this index reaches 1. HSCI represents approaching of heat shock stress to die tensile strength. Die fracture will happen if this index reaches 1. According to theoretical analysis of heat transfer, theoretical models of HSPI and HSCI were established. It is found that, the smaller the interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) is, the higher the pouring temperature and die temperature are before heat shock, and the greater the HSPI and HSCI are, which can be fitted as exponential curves, linear and cubic curves.展开更多
