Abstract
Fatigue crack propagations of 7050 alloy thick plate in different orientations were investigated. Anisotropy of fatigue property showed some difference compared to that of strength and toughness. Microstructural observations revealed that the anisotropy was significantly influenced by structure and orientation characteristics of recrystallized grains. Detailed analysis based on crystallographic model and Schmid factors suggested that the fatigue behaviors, including inter/transgranular propagation, crack deflection or bifurcation, depend on crystallographic orientations and geometry of local microstructure, particularly the tilt and twist angle differences of slip planes or crack planes, together with cooperation and competition between movement of slip systems and loading stress.
