Samples consisting of new aluminum lithium alloy (Al-Li alloy) plate developed by the Aluminum Company of America and Ti-6Al-4V alloy (Ti alloy) plate were investigated. Plate of 400 mm x 140 mm x 2 mm with single edge notch was anodized in phosphoric solution and Ti alloy plate of 200 mm x 20 (40) mm x 2 mm was anodized in alkali solution. Patterns of two alloys were studied at original/anodized condition. And then, aluminum alloy and Ti alloy plates were assembled into a sample with FM 94 film adhesive. Fatigue crack behaviors of the sample were investigated under condition of nominal stress sigma = 36 MPa and 54 MPa, stress ratio of 0.1. Testing results show that anodization treatment modifies alloys surface topography. Ti alloy bonding to Al-Li alloy plate effectively retards crack growth than that of Al-Li alloy plate. Fatigue life of sample bonded with Ti alloy strap improves about 62.5% than that of non-strap plate. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
