摘要
Different fatigue micromechanisms have been identified by fractographic observations in an aluminium-lithium alloy tested in vacuum and in air under constant and variable amplitude loading conditions. In vacuum, large crystallographic facets are observed for all the studied test conditions. In air, for constant amplitude test conditions, the different cracking mechanisms observed are (apart from facetted crack growth) quasi intergranular cracking and cracking by formation of Herringbone patterns. Under certain variable amplidude loading conditions crystallographic facets are not observed and evidence of striation formation is found. The morphology of these striations is different from that of classical ductile striations. This change in cracking mechanism is attributed to multiple slip activity and slip homogenization operating only in air for particular loading conditions.
