The corrosion fatigue properties and fracture characteristics of friction stir welding joints of 7075 aluminum alloys were studied via corrosion fatigue tests, electrochemical measurements, and corrosion fatigue morphology and microstructure observations. The results show that the corrosion fatigue crack of the friction stir welding (FSW) joint of 7075 aluminum alloys originated in the junction zone between the thermomechanically affected zone and the weld nugget zone. The corrosion fatigue life of the joint decreased with increasing stress amplitude, with an S-N curve equation of lgN = 5.845 - 0.014S. Multiple crack sources were observed in the corrosion fatigue fracture. The main crack source originated from the corrosion pits at the interface between the thermomechanically affected zone and the weld nugget zone due to the influence of the coarse microstructure and the large potential difference between both zones. Corrosion morphologies of a rock candy block and an ant nest appeared in the crack propagation zone and the grain boundary of the weld nugget zone. In addition, fatigue speckles and intergranular fractures were observed, as well as brittle fracture characterized by cleavage steps and secondary cracks in the final fracture zone.

The surface roughness of hole machining greatly influences the mechanical properties of parts, such as early fatigue failure and corrosion resistance. The boring and trepanning association (BTA) deep hole drilling with axial vibration assistance is a compound machining process of the tool cutting and the guide block extrusion. At the same time, the surface of the hole wall is also ironed by the axial large amplitude and low-frequency vibration of the guide block.

Article Synopsis
- Weathering steel is favorable for highway and railway bridges due to its good corrosion resistance; however, the fatigue performance of weld joints is crucial for structural integrity.
- This study examines the microstructural properties and fatigue crack growth behavior of Q370qENH weathering steel weld joints, highlighting the effects of different stress ratios and plate thicknesses.
- Results show that welding improves microstructure and fatigue crack growth rates vary by region, with the base steel showing the highest rates while the weld area exhibits the lowest; data from this study is useful for future research on fatigue in steel bridge joints.
Progress in Additive Manufacturing of High-Entropy Alloys.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have drawn substantial attention on account of their outstanding properties. Additive manufacturing (AM), which has emerged as a successful approach for fabricating metallic materials, allows for the production of complex components based on three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) models. This paper reviews the advancements in the AM of HEAs, encompassing a variety of AM techniques, including selective laser melting (SLM), selective laser sintering (SLS), selective electron beam melting (SEBM), directed energy deposition (DED), binder jetting (BJT), direct ink writing (DIW), and additive friction stir deposition (AFSD).
