Abstract
This article presents the bending fatigue behavior and the scatter-band analysis of aluminum alloys under beneficial conditions of nano-clay-particles and heat-treating, compared to detrimental conditions of the mechanical stress and the corrosion. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis was also done on the stress level, the pre-corrosion phenomenon, the addition of nano-particles and applying the heat treatment on the high-cycle bending fatigue lifetime of the aluminum-silicon alloy. For this objective, gravity and stir-casting processes were done for aluminum alloy and nano-clay-composite specimens and then, standard samples were machined from initial casted cylinders. Furthermore, rotary fatigue tests were performed under cyclic bending loadings, through the high-cycle fatigue regime. Some samples were pre-corroded in the sulfuric acid for 200 hours. Based on the sensitivity analysis on experimental data by the Minitab software, the obtained results indicated that the stress level was the effective parameter on the fatigue lifetime. The meaningful regression model was calculated and calibrated on the logarithmic scale of the fatigue lifetime. Then, the second sensitive parameter was demonstrated as the pre-corrosion, which caused a significant degradation of fatigue properties in the material. The last-ranked factor was related to nano-particles for the beneficial effect on the improvement of the high-cycle fatigue lifetime. The scatter-band analysis illustrated that nano-particles and heat-treating changed the scattering behavior of experimental data.

Mohammad Azadi
Mohammad Azadi was born in Shiraz, Iran in 1983. He received B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in mechanical engineering from Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran and K.N. Toosi University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, respectively, in 2006 and 2008; and then, the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2013. During his Ph.D., he has awarded an exchange program by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and also Irankhodro Powertrain Company, in order to perform a fatigue testing project in University of Leoben, Leoben, Austria, 2012.
From 2008 to 2015, he has worked in Irankhodro Powertrain Company, Tehran, Iran and for last two years, he was a project manager of a national turbo-charged engine. Since 2015, he has been an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Semnan University, Semnan, Iran. Now, He is an Associate Professor, since 2019.
He is the author of two chapter-books, two conference proceedings, more than 90 journal articles, about 110 conference papers and 12 patents. He has been also funded to perform 8 research projects by Iranian universities and industries; in addition to one international project, entitled "Iran-Austria Impulse". He is an advisory board of International Journal of Engineering and also a reviewer in different ISI journals, such as International Journal of Fatigue and Materials Science and Engineering A. His research interests include solid mechanics, fatigue, fracture and creep, numerical methods, surface engineering, materials characterization, design of experiments, with the application of engine, aerospace and automotive industries, besides biomechanics. Nowadays, he is working on additive manufacturing to fabricate composites and nano-composites by 3D-printing, in order to evaluate fatigue properties of materials.
