Abstract

Abstract The present paper is aimed at investigating the effect of shot peening on the high and very-high cycle plain fatigue resistance of the Al-7075-T651 alloy. Pulsating bending fatigue tests (R = 0.05) were carried out on smooth samples exploring fatigue lives comprised between 105 and 108 cycles. Three peening treatments were considered to explore different initial residual stress profiles and surface microstructural conditions. An extensive analysis of the residual stress field was carried out by measuring with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique the residual stress profile before and at the end of the fatigue tests. Fatigue crack initiation sites were investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) fractography. The surface morphology modifications induced by shot peening were evaluated using an optical profilometer. The influence of surface finishing on the fatigue resistance was quantified by eliminating the surface roughness in some peened specimens through a tribofinishing treatment. The capability of shot peening to hinder the initiation and to retard the subsequent propagation of surface cracks is discussed on the basis of a model combining a multiaxial fatigue criterion and a fracture mechanics approach.
