In this work, ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) was utilized to produce a gradient structured layer on 7B50-T7751 aluminum alloy, and the mechanical properties and corrosion fatigue behavior of treated samples were studied. These results reveal that underwent USRP, a 425 mu m thick gradient structure and a 700 mu m deep compressive residual stress field are created, aluminum grain size become fine (similar to 67 nm), and the corrosion rate of treated surface reduces by 60.08% owing to the combined effect of compressive residual stress and surface nanocrystallization. The corrosion fatigue strength is enhanced to 117% of that of 7B50 Al alloys by means of USRP due to the introduced compressive residual stress, which is considered as the major favorable factor in suppressing the initiation and early propagation of corrosion fatigue cracks. Besides, the gradient structure is an important factor in providing a significant synergistic contribution to the improvement of corrosion fatigue performance.
