The mechanical property, fracture toughness and fatigue behavior of T7451 Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy thick plates in different orientations and with various thicknesses were investigated by means of tensile, fatigue and plain strain fracture toughness testing. And the microstructures and fracture morphologies were analyzed with optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the samples in longitudinal (L)-transversal (T) orientation possessed better mechanical property, fracture toughness and fatigue resistance than that in T-L orientation. Fractography and optical microanalysis clearly demonstrated that the feature of recrystallized grains is the decisive factor for this anisotropy. On the other hand, values of strength and fracture toughness decreased with the increase of plate thickness, but their fatigue crack growth rate became slower. Combined with the fractography analysis, the increase of recrystallization degree and the coarser grains in the thicker plate should be the main reason for the detrimental to the strength and toughness properties since the main fracture mechanism changes from ductile transgranular fracture to intergranular failure. However, these coarse recrystallized grains play an advantageous role for fatigue resistance from crack deflection and closure perspectives.

Abstract. In the paper several formulae to compute the fracture toughness are presented. The formulae include either parameter characterizing the in-plane constraint or out-of-plane constraint or both. The formulae are based on different assumptions and approaches to fracture mechanics. Namely, small or finite strains were assumed, global or local approach was adopted. In all cases the standard, plain strain fracture toughness was used as a reference state.

The critical fracture toughness parameterKΙCof AZ61 magnesium alloy was determined on the three point bent specimens with notch designed according to ASTM E399 standard. Five specimens having different thickness, i.e., 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm were considered in order to evaluate the effect on fracture toughness. The stress intensity factor rangeΔKwas constant ~1x 10-8for every specimen until the critical crack length reached half of the width of the specimens. The fracture test was done with the speed rate 0.12-0.15 MPa√m/sec until the specimens broke. The experimental results showed that the critical plain strain fracture toughnessKΙCis 12.6 MPa√m and the highest plain stress fracture toughnessKCis 16.5 MPa√m.

Abstract CORONA 5 is a titanium alloy developed for applications in fracture-controlled aircraft components. Plane strain fracture toughnesses of 110,000 to 150,000 psi sq.rt. in. (120 to 165 MPa sq.rt. m) have been produced in this alloy at 135,00 psi (930 MPa) tensile strength through a variety of different process histories. The specific strength (strength/density ratio) is superior to that of the Ti-6A1-4V alloy. Resistance to fatigue crack propagation and resistance to chloride-stress-corrosion cracking are comparable to those of Ti-6A1-4V. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Ti-70.
