Abstract
The fatigue load that a material experiences and its microstructure are important factors influencing fatigue crack propagation behavior. This study employed laser scanning microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technology, along with fatigue crack propagation experiments, to investigate the fatigue crack propagation behavior of 2024 aluminum alloy under varying stress ratios (R). The results showed that the stress amplitude (σp) was the main factor controlling the fatigue crack propagation life (N). Additionally, detailed characterization of the fatigue crack propagation path was conducted using crystal models and EBSD. A fatigue crack propagation model for 2024 aluminum alloy under different R-values was established based on the grain twist angle and Schmid factor. Finally, the impact of R on the crack tip shielding (Ks) was systematically analyzed, elucidating the intrinsic mapping relationship between R, microstructure, and crack propagation characteristics.
