 abstract={The primary goal of the research work is, to employ a novel alloy as the skin material of the spaceship as a replacement for Al2024-T3. As a part of this task, a twin rolled Al-Cu wrought alloy, Al2016, was received after being age hardened to T6 condition. This article focuses on the fatigue properties and post-fracture analysis of the Al2016-T6 Alloy. Specimens were prepared according to ASTM E606 standards, and subjected to a rotating-bending fatigue testing machine. As a result, the fatigue property of the Al2016-T6 alloy was determined by Wohler’s curve method, fatigue life prediction through the Basquin Equation, estimation of fatigue strength for infinite fatigue life using the Kohout-Věchet model, and fatigue fractography observations via SEM images. The mode of fracture, the origin of fracture and its mechanism, and the morphology of fractured surfaces were reported after investigation. The outcomes of this alloy were compared and discussed with the properties of the existing skin material of the spacecraft, Al2024-T3.},
