Summary
The effect of prior exfoliation corrosion on the fatigue behaviour of 7178-T6 and 2024-T351 aluminium alloys is investigated. The fatigue crack growth rate in both as received and prior corroded material is measured in both wet and dry environments. The exfoliation corrosion is shown to enhance the fatigue crack growth rate in the 7178-T6 material whereas the same effect was not observed in 2024-T351.
