Abstract

Based on measurement data and the specific morphology of corrosion pit, three-dimensional finite element model of the corrosion damage specimen is established. Then the local stress condition of corrosion pits is given making use of finite element method, the results of stress concentration due to corrosion pits are also obtained, we can compare the stress concentration arised from the corrosion pit on aluminum alloy specimens in different corrosion time. Results show that the corrosion pits produce stress concentration and become the source of fatigue crack initiation and propagation. With the increasing of corrosion time, the pits get deeper and deeper, and the stress concentration gets more serious near the pits.
