Constant-Load-Amplitude Fatigue Crack Growth Testing of Cast Aluminum Alloys A201-T7 and A357-T6

Abstract

This report is a repository of constant-load-amplitude fatigue crack growth rate data for cast aluminum alloys A201-T7 and A357-T6. Conditions were R=0.1, room temperature, lab air, and growth rates were above .0000001 m/cycle. The data herein was published for use by the aerospace community. From this data, it appears as if cast aluminum alloys possess some variability with respect to fatigue crack growth rate. For the most part though, the data is to serve as a nucleus for evaluating fatigue and fracture data for aluminum casting alloys, and generating impetus for further evaluation of these alloys with respect to fracture.
