Effects Of Corrosion Prevention Compounds And Overload Induced Residual Stress Field On Fatigue Life In Aluminum Alloy, Jin Hee Park Jan 2004

Effects Of Corrosion Prevention Compounds And Overload Induced Residual Stress Field On Fatigue Life In Aluminum Alloy, Jin Hee Park

LSU Master's Theses

Corrosion-Prevention Compounds (CPC) are commonly used to prevent corrosion in the aircraft industry. The presence of corrosive environment (salt-fog, water-fog, even dry air) on aircraft structures has detrimental effects on the integrity of aircraft components which reduces the fatigue life and may accelerate the crack growth rate in the structures. This thesis work is aimed at identifying the effect of CPC and corrosion fatigue on the fatigue life of test specimen. This study describes the results of an experimental study on aluminum alloy 2024-T3 with center-crack specimen to investigate the effect of CPC on fatigue life. Generally, these compounds contain …
