Fully reversed total strain-controlled low-cycle fatigue tests were conducted at room temperature in air to study fatigue behavior of AZ91HP in as high pressure die casting and subsequently heat treatments. All the specimens in different heat histories exhibited cyclic strum hardening in different degrees. It was difficult to distinguish the fatigue behaviors of the die-casting specimens from the solution-aging specimens. However the solution treated specimens showed longerfatigue life at high strum amplitude and shorter fatigue life at low strain amplitude than die-casting and the solution-aging specimens though they had the lowest yield strength with higher strain hardening. Fatigue fracture surfaces for strain amplitude larger than 0.005 showed very similar to those of the monotonic tensile tests. The SEM examination revealed that regions of fatigue crack growth and final fracture could be characterized by quasi-cleavage mech anisms, but some shallow dimples, slip bands and secondary cracks were found on the fracture surface in the fracturs crack growth areas.

Inert anode has been a hot issue in the aluminum industry for many decades. In this article, with the help of FEA (finite element analysis) software Ansys, a model was developed to simulate the thermal stress distribution working condition of an inert anode. To reduce its thermal stress, the effect of some parameters on the thermal stress distribution was investigated, including the anode height, the anode radius, the hole depth, the hole radius, the radius of inner chamfer, and outer chamfer. The results showed that in the actual working condition of an inert anode, there existed a large axial tensile stress near the tangent interface between the anode and bath, which was the major cause of anode breaking. Increasing the anode height and reducing the hole depth properly seemed to be beneficial for the stress distribution. With the increase of anode radius, the stress distribution became better first and then deteriorated, the reasonable value was between 0.045 to 0.06m. The hole radius had a significant effect on the stress and a smaller radius would reduce the thermal stress. The effect of the radius of the inner chamfer and the outer chamfer was less than other parameters.
