Properties of aluminum alloys: Tensile, creep, and fatigue data at high and low temperatures

Book ·
OSTI ID:6305846
Based on work by Alcoa Laboratories over several years, this book compiles more than 300 tables listing typical average properties of a wide range of aluminum alloys. Contents include: Typical Mechanical Properties of Wrought and Cast Aluminum Alloys at Various Temperatures--tensile properties at subzero temperatures at temperature after various holding times at the test temperature, and at room temperature after exposure at various temperatures for various holding times; creep rupture strengths for various times at various temperatures; stresses required to generate various amounts of creep in various lengths of time; rotating-beam fatigue strengths; modulus of elasticity as a function of temperature; Fatigue Data--fatigue strength of wrought aluminum alloys, axial stress fatigue strength of wrought aluminum alloys (at various stress ratios, smooth and notched specimens), average fatigue strength for aluminum and aluminum alloy flat sheet specimens (under complete reversed flexure), cantilever-beam fatigue test results of aluminum alloys at elevated temperatures and following stabilization at the test temperature. The properties in this book are typical values--expected average values for representative lots produced using commercial processes and that meet industry standards, whose room temperature properties correspond to published typical values for the alloys.
