Abstract:At Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), a new aging technique has been developed that can significantly enhance the cryogenic fracture toughness (CFT) of Alloy 2195, as well as reducing the statistical spread of fracture toughness values. This technique improves cryogenic properties by promoting T 1 nucleation and growth in the matrix, so that T 1 nucleation and growth can be suppressed in the subgrain boundaries. It also minimizes mechanical property scatter due to unavoidable variations in thermomechanical p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
