The report summarizes information from selected European papers and lectures that were published or presented between mid 1967 and July 1, 1968. Subjects discussed include: the nature of stress-corrosion, stress-corrosion in AlMg, AlMgZn, and AlMgSi alloys and testing for susceptibility to stress-corrosion cracking. (Author).
The resistance of a 7079-T6 aluminum alloy to stress-corrosion cracking in seawater was examined by testing precracked cantilever beams fabricated of the alloy. Specimens tested in the direction of rolling were found to have gained substantially in notch strength after long-time exposure to the stress-corrosion cracking condition. The results are compared with those obtained by a conventional test method. (Author).
The mechanism of stress-corrosion cracking in 7079 aluminum alloy was investigated by analysis of microstructural changes that occur during exposure to 3.5 per cent NaCl solution. During the corrosion reaction dislocation networks were generated within the grains and along strain-contour bands. Grain-boundary voids occurred where several of these bands originated or terminated. This suggests that the intragranular structure develops as a result of hydrogen entering the alloy and that the voids are propagated under applied load to form grain-boundary cracks. This study is in the preliminary stages and is being continued. (Author).
Stress corrosion cracking of certain 7079-T6 aluminum alloy aircraft structures involving sustained tensile stress acting in an unfavorable grain direction has occurred sometimes in surprisingly mild environments. The resistance of short-transverse specimens of 7079-T6 products has been evaluated at different levels of applied stress in several different seacoast and inland industrial atmospheres. It was found that the atmosphere was more critical than the generally accepted alternate-immersion test using 3.5 per cent sodium chloride. The results of the outdoor tests are correlated with eight accelerated exposures; and consideration is given to the most suitable laboratory stress corrosion test environment for this alloy. A detailed analysis of the constant deformation methods of stressing is included.
