Abstract: Fatigue data on a 5456-H117 aluminum alloy have been obtained in air and sea water by fracture mechanics methods. It is found that the presence of sea water increases the crack growth rates ...

Abstract: Stress corrosion cracking of a 7079-T6 aluminum alloy in seawater was investigated by bend tests of smooth and precracked specimens. It was found that there was a general agreement between ...

Abstract: Notch-tensile tests were conducted on four quenched and tempered steels to study the effect of carbon content on notch toughness. The toughness was found to decrease when the carbon content ...
