摘要：Surface roughness is an important parameter that affects the fatigue life/ strength of a material. The
effect of surface roughness on the fatigue life of Al 6160 alloy is investigated in the current research. Standard fatigue
specimens are fabricated as per the requirement of the 25KN axial fatigue testing machine and tested for low cycle
fatigue life. Specimens of three categories are tested for the fatigue life and the results are compared. Firstly, smooth
specimen as per the standard is tested, followed by specimen with first grade of roughness, followed by the specimen
with second grade of roughness. It is clearly evident from the test results that, as the surface roughness increases, the
fatigue life decreases drastically.
