Fatigue Behaviour of Bolted Joints in RR58 Aluminium Alloy with and without INterfay Sealant,

Abstract

Simple bolted joint specimens in DTD 5014 (RR58) aluminium alloy were tested in fluctuating tension of constant amplitude. The effect of introducing a flexible sealant between the faces of the joint was significant: at high alternating stress levels life was decreased, while at low alternating stress levels life was increased.
