Material Property and Fracture Testing of 7075-T6 Extruded Aluminum.

Abstract

The results of an experimental investigation into the material properties of 7075-T6 extruded aluminum used in the production of sabots for kinetic energy projectiles are presented. A comparison is made of two suppliers' materials, and a test is described that will show a difference exists in the two suppliers' materials.
