I'm doing life predictions on an aluminum casting. I'm interested in doing both the strain and stress life approaches. The material is ASTM B26 A356.0-T6.
All the surface reduction factors I've seen are based on steel and are not appropriate for aluminum. Does anyone have any knowledge of this and references that I could consult?
