Abstract
The out-of-phase thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) behavior of the two Al-Si cast alloys most widely used for engine applications (319 and 356) were investigated under temperature cycling (60–300 °C) and various strain amplitudes (0.1–0.6%). The relationship between the microstructural evolution and TMF behavior was closely studied. Both alloys exhibited asymmetric hysteresis loops with a higher portion in the tensile mode during TMF cycling. The two alloys showed cyclic softening behavior with regard to the maximum stress, but an earlier inflection of cyclic stress was found in the 356 alloy. The TMF lifetime of the 319 alloy was generally longer than that of the 356 alloy, especially at higher strain amplitudes. All the precipitates (β′-MgSi in 356 and θ′-Al2Cu in 319) coarsened during the TMF tests; however, the coarsening rate per cycle in the 356 alloy was significantly higher than that in the 319 alloy. An energy-based model was applied to predict the fatigue lifetime, which corresponded well with the experimental data. However, the parameters in the model varied with the alloys, and the 356 alloy exhibited a lower fatigue damage capacity and a higher fatigue damage exponent.
