ABSTRACT
Corrosion fatigue was an environmental degradation phenomenon caused by the synergetic effect of cyclic stress and corrosive environments. Corrosion fatigue failure of aluminum alloys had become the major issue in the reliability and durability of metal components and structures (Schijve 1994, Bellinger & Komorowski 1997). The development of effective CFCP rate prediction technologies was essential for the reliability analysis of structures, as well as the successful implementation of life extension strategies (Menan & Henaff 2010, Ruiz & Elices 1996, Fontea et al. 2003).
