Quench sensitivity of toughness in an Al alloy: direct observation and analysis of failure initiation at the precipitate free zone
Analysis of toughness in 6156 Al-Mg-Si-Cu sheet has been performed using enhanced Kahn tear tests on samples quenched at different rates. Crack initiation energies were hardly affected by changing water quench temperature from 20°C to 60°C; however a significant reduction was evident on air cooling....
