What Controls Fatigue Life in 7000 Series Aluminum Components?
Boost fatigue life up to 25% with critical microstructural controls, surface treatments and temper selection for aerospace-grade components.
Fatigue performance in 7000 series components is governed by grain structure, inclusion content, surface residual stress and temper selection.
Shot peening and fine-grain homogenization can improve fatigue life by up to 25%. We explain how temper choice (T6 vs T73) affects stress-corrosion resistance in aerospace applications.
