Stress Corrosion Resistance of 7050-t73 Aluminum Alloy

Abstract

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the stress corrosion behavior of the 7050 aluminum alloy in the overaged T73 heat treat condition. Stress corrosion tests were conducted using both smooth and precracked specimens. No evidence of stress corrosion was found in any of the tests conducted. The material also exhibited immunity to exfoliation in both salt spray and constant immersion tests.
