The effect of loading rate on the plane stress fracture toughness properties of a 3.2-mm thick 2219-T87 aluminum alloy plate was investigated with center-cracked panels. Plane-stress J-resistance curves were generated at a constant displacement rate of 10-6 and 5.7 m s-l. Dynamic fracture testing was performed with a coupled pressure plates technique. Fracture initiation and propagation toughne...

In this paper, aluminum alloy samples were fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) and subsequently T2 heat treatment was undertaken. In order to obtain comprehensive results, various experiments on densification, hardness, tensile strength, bending strength and microstructure characterization were carried out. The results show that densification of samples after T2 heat treatment does not ...
