This paper compares the influence of diamond smoothing and mechanic polishing on the corrosion fatigue strength of the aluminum alloy D16T. The authors recommend diamond smoothing for wider application as an advanced method of surface finishing of components made of alloy D16T; other conditions being the same, it should improve their service reliability in a humid atmosphere under sign-changing loads and vibrations.
