Abstract

We have investigated the evolution of damage during fatigue loading in Al-Cu 2024-T3 alloys using the positron annihilation Doppler Broadening (DB) technique. This technique enables us to monitor in a non destructive way, at the atomic and vacancy level, the formation of deformation defects and their interaction with solute atoms at selected stages of fatigue testing. The changes in the S and W Doppler Broadening parameters are linked to the changes in fatigue behavior at lower stress levels. The material was tested under constant amplitude fatigue loading at four different stress levels and DB tests were conducted at selected stages of fatigue lifetime. The results are compared to those obtained during static tensile tests.
