Abstract
As more and more structural parts of military aircraft are formed with additive manufacturing (AM) technology, it was very urgent to study fatigue characteristics of additive manufacturing materials and structures. In order to study the fatigue life characteristics of aluminum alloy and titanium alloy manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM), a series of specimens with various structural details were designed and tested under constant amplitude and random spectrum. The basic reliability life of each test results was statistically analyzed and the reliability safety life curve was obtained. Fractography analysis showed that there were more defects and mixed failure characteristics in aluminum alloy specimens, while the fatigue-scatter of titanium alloy counterpart was larger than that of forgings.
