Abstract

Al 7075 is a lightweight, non-toxic, and heat- conductive material with excellent corrosion resistance. It can be easily casted, machined, and shaped. Moreover, it is non-magnetic and non-sparking. The study focused on testing the fatigue life of Al 7075 under high cyclic loads using an axial fatigue device. ANSYS software was utilized for analyzing fatigue life, comparing experimental results with ANSYS data. The impact of heat treatment processes (annealing, HTPP, and T6 artificial aging) on Al 7075 alloys was also investigated. Fatigue tests and microstructure analysis were conducted on heat-treated specimens, and conclusions were drawn based on the findings.
