Aluminum tensile strength

Most of the polymer s characteristics stem from its molecular stmcture, which like POE, promotes solubiUty in a variety of solvents in addition to water. It exhibits Newtonian rheology and is mechanically stable relative to other thermoplastics. It also forms miscible blends with a variety of other polymers. The water solubiUty and hot meltable characteristics promote adhesion in a number of appHcations. PEOX has been observed to promote adhesion comparable with PVP and PVA on aluminum foil, cellophane, nylon, poly(methyl methacrylate), and poly(ethylene terephthalate), and in composite systems improved tensile strength and Izod impact properties have been noted. 

Drums. Typical selection for the number of dmms used in the various appHcations is two to four for cobbers, one or two for roughers, and two or three for finishers. The inner dmm sheU, usually 3 mm thick, is specified Series 302 or 304 stainless steel. Dmm heads are usually of high tensile strength aluminum alloy or brass. Recessed head bolt constmction having an effective seal is specified. 

The cast zinc—aluminum—copper slush alloy, after aging for ten years indoors, shows a tensile strength of 238 MPa (34,500 psi) with Charpy impact strengths of 1.4—4.1 J (1—3 ft4bf) (87).

Aluminum bron2e alloys have been successfully cast ia the centrifugal, continuous, permanent, plaster, and sand molding methods. Depending on the alloy, the minimum tensile strengths of sand-cast test bars are 448—620 MPa (65,000—90,000 psi). 

It should be noted that a number of aluminum alloys are available (see Table 28-16). Many have improved mechanical properties over pure aluminum. The wrought heat-treatable aluminum alloys have tensile strengths of 90 to 228 MPa (13,000 to 33,000 Ibf/in ) as annealed when they are fuUy hardened, strengths can go as high as 572 MPa (83,000 Ibf/in"). However, aluminum alloys usually have lower corrosion resistance than the pure metal. The alclad alloys have been developed to overcome this snortcoming. Alclad consists of an aluminum layer metaUurgicaUy bonded to a core alloy. 

Production platforms are coated only in exceptional cases or for the purposes of investigation because the life of the structure is greater than the life of the coating. Therefore in the design of the cathodic protection, only the protection potential Us of the steel need be considered. Steels with an ultimate tensile strength of up to 350 N mm are used for these structures, which are weldable even in thick sections, and the hardness of the welded material can be kept to 350 HV (see Section 2.3.4 [2,10]). Aluminum anodes with the same protection effect and life as zinc anodes have much less weight. This is a very important advantage for... 

Aluminum and its alloys are excellent for low temperatures as well as for cryogenic applications because their tensile strength and ductility are increased at low temperatures. 

Aluminum drillpipe is generally made of 2014 type aluminum-copper alloy. Composition of this alloy is 0.50 to 1.20% silicon, 1.00% iron maximum, 3.90 to 5.0% copper, 0.40 to 1.20% manganese, 0.25% zinc maximum and 0.05% titanium. The alloy is heat treated to T6 conditions that represent 64 ksi tensile strength, 58 Ksi yield strength, 7% elongation and a Hbn of 135- Aluminum drillpipe generally comes with steel tool joints that are threaded on to ensure maximum strength that cannot be attained with aluminum joints. 

The tensile strength of materials varies from 50 MPa for aluminum to more than 1100 MPa for high-quality steel. Future developments of new composite materials have a potential to increase the tensile strength above that of steel with a materials density that is less than half of the density of steel (Table 5.3).

Assume that the conductivity of a undirectional, continuous fiber-reinforced composite is a summation effect just like elastic modulus and tensile strength that is, an equation analogous to Eq. (5.88) can be used to describe the conductivity in the axial direction, and one analogous to (5.92) can be used for the transverse direction, where the modulus is replaced with the corresponding conductivity of the fiber and matrix phase. Perform the following calculations for an aluminum matrix composite reinforced with 40 vol% continuous, unidirectional AI2O3 fibers. Use average conductivity values from Appendix 8.
