Fatigue behavior of 2618-T851 aluminum alloy under uniaxial and multiaxial loadings
Résumé
AA2618 aeronautical aluminum alloy has been largely used in the past, especially in well-known Concorde aircraft, developed during sixties decade. In more recent aircraft, this alloy has been largely replaced by others
such as 7075 which present greater fatigue resistance. Forgotten for a time, AA2618 comes back in new aircrafts
for structural parts submitted to fatigue loading at high temperature because of only a slight decrease of fatigue
resistance of this alloy compared to room temperature fatigue resistance. In this paper, a complete fatigue
characterization of 2618-T851 aluminum alloy is presented: fatigue tests under uniaxial tensile or torsion cyclic
loadings, with mean tensile or shear stress have been realized; fatigue tests under combined tensile-torsion, in or out-of-phase have also been conducted as well as some combined tensile-torsion-internal pressure fatigue tests.
All these tests covered 104–107 cycles range. At last, Crossland multiaxial fatigue criterion has been used and
extended to median fatigue life domain to analyze these results.
