Abstract
The high-cycle fatigue (HCF) behaviors of wrought Al alloys are vitally important for their industrial application. To optimize the fatigue property of the wrought Al alloy, the effects of aging conditions on the fatigue properties of 7N01, 7075 and 2024 Al alloys were studied. The results show that the overaged samples have the lowest tensile strength among the three aging states, but their fatigue strength is the highest. Further investigations on the dislocation morphologies indicates that the dislocations are easy to accumulate and annihilate at the second phase boundaries for the overaged state, which reduces the fatigue damage degree at the grain boundaries. Besides, the discontinuous distribution of the grain boundary precipitates and the increased width of the precipitate-free zone also contributed to the improved fatigue property of the overaged state. Those results should be significantly important for the optimization of their fatigue properties and the industrial application of wrought Al alloys.
