摘要：

Abstract— The initiation and growth of cracks emanating from blunt notches in 6061‐Al alloy reinforced with 25% particulate Sic metal matrix composite were investigated. To elucidate the role of aging condition of the matrix on the fatigue behavior, the studies were carried out at T6 and overaged conditions. The results show that the number of cycles required for initiation of fatigue cracks are not influenced with the notch severity and the aging condition of the matrix. The overaging heat treatment resulted in slower fatigue crack growth rates. The failure of the Sic particles during the fatigue process is given as the reason for the both observed initiation and crack growth characteristics. It is also shown that the growth rate of cracks emanating from blunt notches can be accurately described by an equivalent stress intensity factor range ΔKeq. This could provide an adequate engineering method for design against fatigue failure from various stress concentrations for this composite system. Copyright © 1990, Wiley Blackwell.
