Abstract:
Tests have been carried out on butt-joints welded by MIG method with reinforcement off or as welded. Shot peening introduces in surface stresses of compression of 170 to
200 MPa, which have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The affected layer is .3 mm thick, whereas the pre-strained zone determined by micro-hardness measurement is .25
mm thick. The following aluminium alloys have been tested : 5086, 5083 H116 and H323, 7020 and a A-G4Z2 type. Corrosion fatigue tests have been carried out in a buffered
salt solution (artificial sea-water),whereas stress corrosion tests have been carried out either in the artificial sea-water, or in a bichromate solution of pH3.
The improvement on fatigue and corrosion fatigue strength is:
-
for plain plate : 20% for each case,
-
for joints with reinforcement off : 15 to 100% for fatigue and
about 50% for corrosion fatigue,
-
for joints as welded : 80% for some cases.
Stress corrosion results are note significant. The exfoliation corrosion of 7020 welded joints alloy is not modified by shot peening treatment.
