ABSTRACT
This study focuses on component durability testing methods and their application in the automotive industry. These types of tests can be used to assess various objects with simple and complex geometries and a range of dimensions, manufactured using certain structural materials, including 6005 T6 aluminium alloy and S700MC high-strength steel. The test results characterise the component response at 2×106 loading cycles, and the crack trajectories are analysed after a high number of cycles. The influence of the welding process on the tensile mechanical parameters of the aluminium alloy and steel is also discussed, and fatigue behaviour of S700MC and its weld are illustrated.
