Complex Stress Creep Fracture of an Aluminium Alloy: An Investigation Conducted at an Elevated Temperature

Abstract

The purpose of the investigation was to examine the tertiary creep and the creep fracture characteristics of an aluminium alloy to specification B.S.2L42, subject to complex stressing at 200 dog. C. The scope of the work involved seven pure torsion, pure tension, and combined tension and torsion creep tests, of durations between 300 hrs. and 3,000 hrs., on the aluminium alloy at 200 deg. C., and analysis of the results.
