AFWAL-TR-83-4074, TECHNICAL REPORT: MECHANICAL PROPERTY EVALUATION OF P/M ALUMINUM 7090-T7E71 PLATE (AUG-1983)., Mechanical property data were obtained for a single plate of powder metallurgy (P/M) produced aluminum 7090-T7E71. Properties examined are tensile, compression, shear, bearing, smooth and notched fatigue, fatigue crack growth rate, and fracture toughness. Comparisons are made to other 7000-series ingot metallurgy (I/M) produced aluminum alloys, more particularly, aluminum 7050. Results show the test material to be superior in strength, bearing, and shear properties than the majority of I/M 7000-series alloys.
