In the paper fatigue specimens are extracted from different regions of cast aluminum cylinder heads produced by two foundries. A high strength region and a low strength region were identified within the cylinder head and the A356-T6 material locally characterized in terms of microstructure and defect population. High cycle fatigue testing according to a reduced staircase method was performed to determine the local fatigue strength at 107 cycles in the cylinder heads of the two foundries.

Abstract
In the paper fatigue specimens are extracted from different regions of cast aluminum cylinder heads produced by two foundries. A high strength region and a low strength region were identified within the cylinder head and the A356-T6 material locally characterized in terms of microstructure and defect population. High cycle fatigue testing according to a reduced staircase method was performed to determine the local fatigue strength at 107 cycles in the cylinder heads of the two foundries. The implications of the experimental observations are discussed. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
