Abstract
More than half of mechanical breakdowns stem from fatigue failure, often occurring suddenly and without warning. Friction stir processing (FSP) enhances the material's toughness and resilience to fatigue by refining its grain structure. This study investigates how multi-pass overlapping technique impacts the fatigue crack growth rate of FSPed Al-Cu alloy. Microstructural analysis revealed that the stir region exhibited uniformly dispersed and fragmented precipitates and finely recrystallized ultrafine grains. The hardness and strength were reduced, and ductility was enhanced after FSP due to high thermal cycling. Fatigue testing demonstrated a significant increase in fatigue life and reduced fatigue crack growth rate attributable to the combined effects of precipitation and grain refinement during cooling-assisted FSP. SEM examination of fatigue fracture surfaces revealed dimples indicative of ductile failure in the rapid crack propagation zone, while the steady-state propagation region displayed striation markings and secondary fractures.
