- Interaction between gliding planes and electrolyte plays a key role - At the induced micro notches, additional gliding and accelerated corrosion is induced

The Whler curves display the failure time in relation to cycle number and stress amplitude
Important to note: surface defects (notches) plays a tremendous role in the life of a component exposed to fatigue condition

The specimen made from 7075-T651 had a width of 60 mm and a thickness of 10 mm ( with W = 40 mm and B = 3.63mm). The initial notch depth a0 was 17 mm or 32 mm. The specimen were loaded by a pair of pin loads at x=0, y=0, z=0.225W in the z direction. The loading was a sinusoidal constant amplitude history with a frequency of 83 or 54 Hz. The CT-specimen was equipped with a clip gauge at the mouth of the notch. The crack length was monitored optically by two traveling microscopes, fixed to the test bed and allowing to measure both surface crack lengths, on the front and on the back face. 23

The T651 temper is a solution heat-treated, quenched, 1.5 to 3% controlled stretched, and artificially aged condition with a maximum static strength. Second phase particles in these alloys are usually categorized into three groups: - Large (approx. 1 to 30 m) intermetallic particles formed during solidification by
combination of impurities (Fe, Si) and solute elements: Al12(Fe,Mn)3 Si and Al7Cu2Fe - Smaller (approx. 0.3 m) dispersoid particles formed by solid state precipitation of Cr and Mn at temperatures above 425C: Al20Cu2Mn3 - Fine (0.5 nm - 10 nm) precipitates, containing solute elements. Formed during quenching or aging: Al2CuMg 25
- Oxide film growth will occur very rapidly (formation of the 5-6 nm passive film in a few millisecond in air) in air with a slight humidity related acceleration - Even in Nitrogen atmosphere, a nm-thick oxide will form in millisecond - In fine vacuum (high vacuum), the formation is then obviously hindered and only monolayers of oxygen will be chemisorbed on the surface

- In nitrogen, the critical stress intensity Keff to initiate fatigue crack growth is decreased and the propagation rates in the undercritical domain is also faster - There is clearly a material-environment combination in this process

- In air, the critical stress intensity Keff to initiate fatigue crack growth is similar to nitrogen but the propagation rate is then slightly higher - The environmental component is related to the presence and thickness of passive film that is constantly broken at every cycle and reforms

- The fatigue crack propagation rate increase as function of stronger oxidizing conditions can be seen by overlapping the curves measured in different environments
