The Influence of Cryogenic Conditions on the Process of AA2519 Aluminum Alloy Cracking

This study presents the results of tests involving determining quantities used to describe fracture toughness of a heat-treated AA2519 aluminum alloy applied in, among other things, constructing American military amphibians. These quantities were determined using the J–R curve method for two tempera...
