Aluminum Alloy 7050 Extrusions.

Abstract:
Practices for casting 25 and 35-inch diameter alloy 7050 ingot were developed; effects of fabricating variables on mechanical properties and corrosion characteristics were evaluated, and aging conditions were established to produce two tempers, T7651X and T7351X, having two combinations of strength, stress-corrosion characteristics, and toughness. Twenty extruded shapes were subsequently fabricated to provide material for determination of design mechanical properties, modulus of elasticity, stress-strain curves, fracture toughness (KIc), fatigue strengths, fatigue crack propagation rates, and stress-corrosion and corrosion characteristics. The alloy 7050 extrusions developed combinations of properties desired by the airframe industry that were superior to those of extrusions of commercially established aluminum alloys. (Author)
