Bearing Strengths of 75S-T Aluminum-Alloy Sheet and Extruded Angle

Abstract

Bearing yield and ultimate strengths of 75S-T nonclad aluminum alloy are determined in for of sheets in both with and across grain directions, and extruded angle in the longitudinal direction. In addition, ratios of average bearing to tensile strengths were investigated at edge distances equaling 1.5, 2.0, and 4.0 times pin diameter. Results, shown in tables and graphs, indicate that bearing properties show no significant directional characteristics. Ratios of extruded angles are about 16% less than those obtained in sheet form. Alloy compares favorably with other high strength aluminum alloys.
