Effect of Cold Working and Ring Indentation on Fatigue Life of Aluminum Alloy Specimens

Abstract: The article deals with the fatigue life of plates with hole made of aluminum\ud alloy. Specifically, the combined effect of cold working expansion and ring\ud indentation on improved fatigue life performance was investigated. Multiple\ud fatigue tests were performed to determine the cycles to failure and the\ud corresponding W¨ ohler diagram. Experimental results were compared with\ud those of nontreated specimens. The conclusion was that cold working\ud expansion and indentation create a delay on crack format… Show more

“…However, the principal advantage is that a specific tooling is not needed, thus giving the process great flexibility as well as great formability compared with other forming processes. These processes are presented as 2 of 14 interesting alternatives in important industries such as the medical product manufacturing, aeronautics, and transport industries, among other applications [6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Given the relevance of the problem, several studies have been conducted in order to identify methods that can improve the fatigue life of these components, by delaying the nucleation and propagation of fatigue cracks. Among the methods mostly used in industrial processes, plastic deformation techniques allow to generate a circumferential compressive stresses field around the hole which significantly increase the fatigue strength of the drilled elements and, at the same time, to reduce the stress intensity factor [10][11][12][13].…”

“…In addition to the mentioned techniques, the cold expansion process is a simple life enhancement procedure that strengthens metallic components by retarding crack growth around the hole [3]. The most common methods of cold working are accomplished by using a conical mandrel or an over-sized ball.…”
