Fracture of Al-Mg6-Mn Plates and Welds at Cryogenic Temperatures

  • Chapter
Book cover Advances in Cryogenic Engineering Materials

Abstract

Aluminum and its alloys do not undergo abrupt transitions to a brittle state at low temperatures, and their ultimate strengths, yield strengths, and elongations at low temperatures are generally about as high or higher than those at room temperature. Aluminum alloys also possess good weldability and corrosion resistance. For these reasons, they are widely used as structural materials in the manufacturing of gas distribution equipment and tanks for storage and transportation of cryogenic liquids.
