Microstructural characterisation of fatigue crack initiation in Al-based plain bearing alloys

The fatigue initiation behaviour of two Al-based bearing lining alloys has been assessed by image analysis tessellation techniques and subsequent adaptive numerical classification approaches. Fatigue initiation occurs by decohesion at Si particles, and in the absence of Si particles decohesion occur...
