Abstract
"The dislocation theory, Zener-Stroh crack model, and the Petch relationship, which correlates fracture stress and grain size, were used to analyze the embrittlement of 2024 aluminum alloy tubes by liquid mercury.
Surface energy ratios, [formula], were determined for biaxial stress ratios of 1/2, 1, ∞. The values of the surface energy ratios considered were 4.24, 1.79, 1.46, respectively. As part of this study, an approximate Nabarro-Peierls frictional stress was calculated for each stress ratio"--Abstract, page 2.
