Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to aluminum base alloys and more particularly, Al-Zn-Cu-Mg aluminum base alloys, in particular for aerospace applications.
- Al-Zn-Cu-Mg aluminum base alloys have been used extensively in the aerospace industry for many years. With the evolution of airplane structures and efforts directed towards the goal of reducing both weight and cost, an optimum compromise between properties such as strength, toughness and corrosion resistance is continuously sought. Also, process improvement in casting, rolling and heat treatment can advantageously provide further control in the composition diagram of an alloy and property compromise.
- Thick rolled, forged or extruded products made of Al-Zn-Cu-Mg aluminum base alloys are used in particular to produce integrally machined high strength structural parts for the aeronautic industry, for example wing elements such as wing ribs, spars, frames and the like, which are typically machined from thick wrought sections.
- Crack deviation, crack turning or also crack branching are terms used to express propensity for crack propagation to deviate from the expected fracture plane perpendicular to the loading direction during a fatigue or toughness test. Crack deviation happens on a microscopic scale ( ⁇ 100 pm), on a mesoscopic scale (100-1000 pm) or on a macroscopic scale (>1 mm) but it is considered detrimental only if the crack direction remains stable after deviation (macroscopic scale). The phenomenon is a particular concern for fatigue trials in L-S direction.
- the term crack branching is used herein for macroscopic deviation of cracks in L-S fatigue or toughness tests from the S direction towards the L direction which occurs for rolled products with a thickness of 30 mm or higher. Crack branching may occur in relation to the rolled product composition and microstructure and to the test conditions.
