Fatigue Tests on Notched and Unnotched Sheet Specimens of 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 Aluminum Alloys and of SAE 4130 Steel With Special Consideration of the Life Range From 2 to 10,000 Cycles

Description: Note presenting fatigue tests performed on notched and unnotched sheet specimens made of 2024-T3 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys and of SAE 4130 steel. The steel was tested in two conditions: normalized and heat-treated to a tensile strength of 180 ksi. The primary focus was on the life range from 2 to 10,000 cycles.

Quarterly Report October, November and December, 1956

Description: Methods of producing extremely clean surfaces on rolled Zircaloy-2 strip have been investigated. It has been found that the finer abrasives, 400 mesh or finer, are more effective than coarse types because of their ability to penetrate pits and crevices more readily. Two such cleanings, with an intermediate 35 v/o HNO3-5 v/o HF pickle, resulted in a microscopically clean surface. Ultrasonic inspection of the EBWR fuel plates has been completed during this quarter. Approximately 95% of the plates… more
