Abstract
This research was an investigation of the fatigue characteristics
of warm rolled high-magnesium aluminum-magnesium
alloys. Particular emphasis was placed on study of the
microstructural changes which occur during cyclic loading.
The study was conducted utilizing a simple binary alloy,
Al-10.2 wt pet Mg, and a ternary Al-8.14 wt pet Mg-0.40 wt
pet Cu alloy. Both alloys were given similar processing; in
particular, both alloys were examined for two rates of quenching
to determine the effect of cooling rate from the homogenization
temperature on the tensile properties and fatigue
characteristics of the alloys.
