Fatigue Strain-life data A356(AlSi7Mg) cast aluminium

[Berge]

Hello

Would anyone know where to find strain-life data for A356 as cast aluminium.

I have found data for A356 in heat-treated T6 condition, but I am not sure if I can use these data in my fatigue analysis, as my non-heat-treated A356 is more ductile.

Thanks

Dear Berge,

May I ask you for a favour to share the A356 T6 strain life data? Info either on the data or the source of the data would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Strain-life data is going to be difficult to find, especially for this alloy in the as-cast condition. My best suggestion would be to perform a literature search using Scirus or Cambridge Scientitic Abstracts:

There might be some data in the CINDAS books. Use the following link for more information:
