The Mechanical Property Data Base from an Air Force/Industry Cooperative Test Program on Advanced Aluminum Alloys

Abstract

Development of a mechanical property data base on Pechiney aluminum - lithium structural alloys is detailed. Aluminum-lithium alloys tested were 2091- T3 sheets, 2091-T8x sheets, 2091-T351 plates, 2091-T6 forgings, and 8090-T651 T- extrusion. Basic mechanical property data consists of tension, compression, bearing, shear, and fracture toughness. Fatigue data were developed for both smooth and notched specimens. Constant amplitude fatigue crack growth rate data and spectrum test data was performed on most products. Corrosion characteristics were also obtained. All other data developed by the participants are documented. (js)
