7075 aluminium alloy (AA7075) is an aluminium alloy with zinc as the primary alloying element. It has excellent mechanical properties and exhibits good ductility, high strength, toughness, and good resistance to fatigue.
Representative curves of applied stress vs number of cycles for steel (showing an endurance limit) and aluminium (showing no such limit).. The fatigue limit or endurance limit is the stress level below which an infinite number of loading cycles can be applied to a material without causing fatigue failure. [1]
7068 alloy is a 7000 series aluminium-zinc alloy registered with the US Aluminium Association and produced to AMS 4331 (chemical composition and mechanical properties) and AMS 2772 (heat treatment). 7068 alloy ‘A’ and ‘B’ tensile data and fatigue properties have been ratified for inclusion in MIL Handbook 5 / MMPDS.
An important structural limitation of aluminium alloys is their lower fatigue strength compared to steel. In controlled laboratory conditions, steels display a fatigue limit, which is the stress amplitude below which no failures occur – the metal does not continue to weaken with extended stress cycles. Aluminium alloys do not have this lower ...
The Goodman line is a method used to estimate the influence of the mean stress on the fatigue strength. A Constant Fatigue Life (CFL) diagram is useful for stress ratio effect on S-N curve. [35] Also, in the presence of a steady stress superimposed on the cyclic loading, the Goodman relation can be used to estimate a failure condition.
Aluminium 7050 alloy is a heat treatable alloy. It has high toughness, high strength. It has high stress corrosion cracking resistance. [1] It has electric conductivity of value having 40 percent of copper. [2] 7050 aluminium is known as a commercial aerospace alloy. [3]
In this state, the crack will propagate by successive cleavage of the grains. At these low temperatures, the yield strength is high, but the fracture strain and crack tip radius of curvature are low, leading to a low toughness. [8] At higher temperatures, the yield strength decreases, and leads to the formation of the plastic zone.
Within the branch of materials science known as material failure theory, the Goodman relation (also called a Goodman diagram, a Goodman-Haigh diagram, a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram) is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material.
