FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION BEHAVIOUR OF THE Al-Li ALLOY 8090 COMPARED TO 2024

Abstract
The fatigue crack propagation behaviour of the Al-Li alloy 8090 was evaluated on 25mm plate material and compared to the conventional high strength Al alloy 2024. Tests were performed in air and 3.5% NaCl solution at R-ratios of 0.1 and 0.7. The results revealed that for most conditions the Al-Li alloy was equivalent or better than the conventional Al alloy. The superior behaviour of 8090 was shown to be primarily a result of crack closure.
