Fracture Mechanics Evaluation of B-1 Materials. Volume I. Text
Abstract
A total of 1764 fracture mechanics tests were conducted on fourteen alloys to develop property data for use in the B-1 design. Tests were performed on aluminum alloys 2024, 2124, 2219, 7049, 7050, 7075 and 7175; titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4v; steel alloys 9Ni-4Co-.20C, 9Ni-4Co-.30c and 300M; corrosion resistant steel PH13-8Mo; nickel alloy Inconel 718; and nickel-cobalt alloy MP 35 N. The effects of product form, heat-to-heat variability, grain orientation, and heat treat condition on fracture behavior were investigated. In addition, the fracture properties of welds in Ti-6Al-4v, PH13-8Mo and 9-4-.20 alloys and of diffusion bonds in Ti-6Al-4v were determined. Testing variables were temperature, specimen thickness, environment, cyclic frequency and R factor for the da/dN tests. The results of the tests are presented in tables and graphs in detailed and summarized forms. The effects of the various material and testing variables on fracture behavior are discussed.
