The characteristics of corrosion-fatigue in age-hardened Al alloys, e.g. brittle striations on cleavage-like facets, are described, with reference to two examples of component failure. Mechanisms of corrosion fatigue (and explanations for fracture-surface features) are then reviewed. New observations of corrosion-fatigue crack growth for 7050-T7451 alloy compact-tension specimens tested in aqueous environments using a constant (intermediate) ΔK value but different cycle frequencies are then described and discussed. These observations provide additional support for a hydrogen-embrittlement process involving adsorption-induced dislocation-emission from crack tips.
