Examination of Enemy Materiel (OD-113) (AC-77) (N-119): Metallurgical Examination of Wing Hinge Fittings from Japanese "Frances" Aircraft

Abstract

Results of examination of section of two wing hinge fittings from the Japanese "Frances" 466 aircraft are presented. Steel parts examined were spar fittings which were forged and machined from SAE X-4130 and 3335 types of steel. Both spar fittings were quenched and tempered, and had tensile properties which were normal for the particular materials and hardnesses. The other parts considered consisted of Al alloys of various Alcoa types in form of extrusions, flat and bent sheet, a forging, and a casting. All castings with the exception of one were solution heat treated and aged.
