DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW...? ...that engineers have developed a technique to make high-strength aluminum alloys more resistant to fatigue?
In fact, they've improved the fatigue life of high-strength aluminum alloys by up to 25 times!
They did this by using "the mechanical energy imparted into the materials during the early cycles of fatigue to heal the weak points in the microstructure". They found that "The fatigue performance is most improved for the strongest materials (7xxx) and the improvement is smaller for the weakest alloys (6xxx)."
