Static and Fatigue properties of 21-6-9 Cres Tubing

[jetmaker]

Looking for some static and fatigue properties for 21-6-9 Cres tubing. The information needs to be public domain and referenceable.

Thanks for your help.

heres a little information that might help.

A specification that defines 21-6-9 tubing is AMS 5562. I assume you have access to this. UNS number is S21904. I don't have access to the AMS spec any more so I can't say if it gives the mechanicals.

Getting the fatigue number is a tough one. My Carpenter book gives a yield strength of 52 - 62 Ksi for an annealed bar depending on size and test direction. There is also some data on cold drawn wire but again nothing on fatigue. suggest you contact carpenter directly.

A few years back I used the following source for some 304L and 21-6-9 tubing in the 2" and 3" range. Don't know if this sales rep. is still there.

AMS 5562 is solution treated tube. Min Ftu 90 ksi, min t2 50 ksi. e = 45%.

AMS 5561 is cold drawn tube (either seamless or welded). Ftu 142 - 162 ksi, t2 120 ksi. e = 20%.

No fatigue props in ASMH. Could try Atlas of Fatigue Curves or SAE Fatigue Design Handbook. Note that 21-6-9 is aka Nitronic 40.
