Abstract:AlSi9Cu3(Fe) vacuum-assisted high pressure die cast (VPDC) specimens
were investigated by experimental fatigue test and fracture mechanics
approach. The aims of the investigations were (i) to evaluate the
fracture resistance and (ii) to indirectly determine the threshold
stress intensity value (ΔKth) of casting alloy in uniaxial tension. The
specimens were sorted into two groups: specimens with different size
(0.01-0.40 mm2) natural defects, and specimens an additional artificial
blind hole. The fatigue streng… Show more
