Re: Brittle Cracking of Al6082-T6

[SAParker]

I have an Aluminium part which cracked in a brittle fashion from a hole when an insert was put into the hole. This was done at room temperature and the AL6082-T6 was chromic acid anodised. Can Al 6082-T6 crack in a brittle fashion?

What was the product form? Plate? Forging? How much time had elapsed between the drilling of the hole and insertion of the bushing?

Any details on the environment? Some aluminum alloys are susceptible to liquid metal embrittlement or SCC.
