Abstract
Fatigue strength of aluminum lap joints subjected to fretting can vary widely depending on the type of treatments applied to the faying surfaces. Many materials normally selected for their lubricity or good wear properties cannot be used in a bolted joint because of their interference with the load transfer requirements of the joint. Thus the best methods found in this evaluation in order of their effectiveness were bonded and shotpeened, bonded alone, shotpeened alone, and bonded steel wear pads. These techniques increased the fatigue strength at 107 cycles of an untreated joint from 12 k.s.i. to a maximum of 23 k.s.i.
