A modified model was presented for describing corrosion fatigue crack growth rate of aluminum alloy accurately. Considering the local damage around the crack tip is more reasonable for accelerating crack growth rate under corrosive environment, a damaged influence factors which characterize the damage degree of local damage near the crack tip has been introduced to revise the corrosion fatigue crack growth rate, and the experimental results are in good agreement with predictions of amendment fatigue crack growth rate model. The proposed model based on damaged influence factors is reasonable, and proposed a theoretical reference for aluminum alloy damage tolerance analysis.
