Results of tensile stress-strain tests and completely reversed sheet-bending fatigue tests conducted at room temperature on unnotched sheet specimens of Ta-lOW tantalum alloy, D-3l niobium alloy, pure tungsten, and Mo-0.5Ti molybdenum alloy are presented. Fatigue data from tests on similar specimens of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy and 17-7 PH stainless steel are compared with previous data from axial-load tests on larger specimens of these materials to determine whether the small size of the specimens used in this investigation produces representative results. Comparisons of the various materials on the basis of applied-stress- ultimate-strength and strength-density ratio also are presented.
