Creep-Rupture Properties of 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy at 450 and 500 F

Abstract

The creep-rupture characteristics were determined for commercial 6061-T6 (61S-T6) aluminum alloy at 450 and 500 F. The results are presented as design and creep-rate curves. Stress-rupture strengths at 450 F were 17,000, 13,000, and 9,000 (estimated) psi for rupture in 10, 100, and 1000 hr, respectively. At 500 F, stress-rupture strengths were 10,500, 9,100, and 7,200 (estimated) psi for rupture in 10, 100, and 1000 hr, respectively.
