Technical Notes:

1.

The metal alloys in 1C002 are those containing a higher percentage by weight of the stated metal than of any other element.

2.

‘Stress-rupture life’ should be measured in accordance with ASTM standard E-139 or national equivalents.

3.

‘Low cycle fatigue life’ should be measured in accordance with ASTM standard E-606 ‘Recommended Practice for Constant-Amplitude Low-Cycle Fatigue Testing’ or national equivalents. Testing should be axial with an average stress ratio equal to 1 and a stress-concentration factor (Kt) equal to 1. The average stress ratio is defined as maximum stress minus minimum stress divided by maximum stress.
