This reference is the most comprehensive collection of aluminum fatigue data with more than 1,100 fatigue data curves, all drawn to consistent formats, conveniently arranged by alloy and temper.

These data were developed and recorded under consistent conditions and using standard procedures, so valid comparisons can be made among the alloys in the data sets.

The book explains the origin of the data, fatigue testing and data analysis procedures, and provides guidelines for the use and interpretation of the data. It also includes rotating beam reverse bending fatigue, flexural fatigue, axial-stress fatigue, torsional fatigue, and modified Goodman diagrams.

A vast majority of the data had been considered proprietary. This is the first time much of it is made available to the public to assist in a broader understanding of the behavior and application of aluminum alloys. Published by ASM International, and edited by J. Gilbert Kauffman.
