Book Description
Axial load fatigue life, fatigue-crack propagation, and fracture toughness experiments were conducted on sheet specimens made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. These experiments were conducted at pressures ranging from atmospheric to 5 x 10 to the minus 8th torr. Analysis of the results from the fatigue life experiments indicated that for a given stress level, lower air pressures produced longer fatigue lives. At a pressure of 5 x 10 to the minus 8th torr fatigue lives were 15 or more times as long as at atmospheric pressure. Analysis of the results from the fatigue crack propagation experiments indicated that for small stress intensity factor ranges the fatigue crack propagation rates were up to twice as high at atmospheric pressure as in vacuum. The fracture toughness of 7075-T6 was unaffected by the vacuum environment. Fractographic examination showed that specimens tested in both vacuum and air developed fatigue striations. Considerably more striations developed on specimens tested at atmospheric pressure, however.

Problems of Fatigue of Metals in a Vacuum Environment
Author: C. M. Hudson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Materials
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
The current state of knowledge of the effects of a vacuum environment upon fatigue is summarized in this report. The effects of temperature, pressure variations, prolonged exposure, and environment composition on fatigue life are discussed in detail. In addition, studies of the surfaces of specimens fatigued in vacuum are described. Results indicate that fatigue life is better in vacuum than in air for most of the materials investigated. Most investigators attribute this increase in life to decreased oxidation of the material in the vacuum environment.
