Mechanisms of fatigue-crack initiation and their impact on fatigue life of AlSi7 die-cast components

In the course of the present study, in-situ observations of crack initiation and crack growth of naturally induced cracks in cyclically loaded specimens along with conventional fatigue tests and fracture surface analyses were performed. The specimens used were taken from different sampling position...
