Kolkman, H.J. Schra, L. Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1982-10-14 Abstract The Jominy end-quench test was applied to rods of the alximinium alloys T010 and X TO9I to obtain a decreasing cooling rate over the length of the rods. After heat treating to a high strength T6 and an overaged TT condition the corrosion properties and the microstructure were determined related to the cooling rate. No influence of cooling rate on stress corrosion crack initiation life and a slight influence of cooling rate on exfoliation corrosion resistance were established.
