For pre-corroded aluminum alloy 7075-T6, the interacting effects of two neighboring pits on the stress concentration are comprehensively analyzed by considering various relative position parameters (inclination angle θ and dimensionless spacing parameter λ ) and pit depth ( d ) with the finite element method. According to the severity of the stress concentration, the critical corrosion regions, bearing high susceptibility to fatigue damage, are determined for intersecting and adjacent pits, respectively. A straightforward approach is accordingly proposed to conservatively estimate the combined stress concentration factor induced by two neighboring pits, and a concrete application example is presented. It is found that for intersecting pits, the normalized stress concentration factor K  tnor increases with the increase of θ and λ and always reaches its maximum at θ = 90°, yet for adjacent pits, K  tnor decreases with the increase of λ and the maximum value appears at a slight asymmetric location. The simulations reveal that K  tnor follows a linear and an exponential relationship with the dimensionless depth parameter R  d for intersecting and adjacent cases, respectively.
