Damage Tolerance Capability of an Al-Cu-Mg-Ag Alloy (2139)

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of dispersoid forming elements on the mechanical properties of Al-Cu- Mg-Ag alloys are examined. It is found that a small amount of Zr addition is detrimental to the damage tolerance of Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys in artificially aged temper, while Mn addition is beneficial. The superior damage tolerance capability of Alloy 2139 is demonstrated by comparing it to other high performance alloys used for DT critical applications
