Excellent thermal conductivity and lower density make Al–Si alloys a suitable alternative for
cast iron in the fabrication of engine components. The increase in the maximum operation …

Fatigue refers to the progressive and localized structural damage that occurs when a
material is subjected to repeated loading and unloading, typically at levels below its ultimate …

In recent years, mechanical structures such as railway wheels, rails, offshore structures,
bridges, engine components, load bearing parts of automobiles, etc. have to endure for a …

Tensile and fatigue behaviors of a compressor blade titanium alloy TC17 at room and high
temperatures (RT and HT) have been investigated up to very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) …

Metallic cast components inevitably contain defects such as shrinkage cavities which are
inherent to the solidification process. Those defects are known to significantly alter the …

We reviewed the research and developments in the field of fatigue failure, focusing on very-
high cycle fatigue (VHCF) of metals, alloys, and steels. We also discussed ultrasonic fatigue …

Due to the premature fracture of several cast Al-Si alloy cylinder heads at the same position
during high-cycle fatigue (HCF) bench test, the HCF failure analysis including finite element …

Many studies have demonstrated a relationship between secondary dendrite arm spacing
(SDAS) and the mechanical behaviour of cast aluminium–silicon alloys, both for tensile and …

Ultrasonic testing method has been often used to investigate fatigue properties of various
metallic materials. Since ultrasonic fatigue tests are conducted at a very high loading …

Since aviation sector equipment has evolved to very long-life application conditions, critical
components and structures are regularly subjected to complex environments and applied …
