This paper presents the results of testing and modeling studies on the remaining fatigue life of aircraft wing skins containing natural exfoliation corrosion. Dogbone specimens were manufactured from 7075-T6511 upper wing panels containing natural exfoliation. The maximum depth of the exfoliation damage was determined by an ultrasonic non-destructive inspection (NDI). Fatigue tests were carried out under fully reversed constant amplitude loading (R = −1.0), and fractographic analyses were performed to examine the cracking mechanisms in the exfoliation region. Based on the test findings, a simplified fatigue model was developed to estimate the remaining fatigue life of the corroded specimens. In this model, the exfoliation damage was assumed as a surface crack with a depth that was presumably available from an NDI or grindout database. The comparison indicates that the simplified model gave a good estimation for the remaining fatigue life of the naturally exfoliated specimens.
