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
