Humidity effects on the fatigue behavior of CuNi

A 90%Cu10%Ni alloy containing 1.5% Fe was subjected to torsional fatigue in helium and humid air. A substantial decrease in fatigue life resulted from exposure to humid air. The decrease was attributed to the interaction between moisture and the iron particles, resulting in particle-matrix interfac...

Description
Summary:A 90%Cu10%Ni alloy containing 1.5% Fe was subjected to torsional fatigue in helium and humid air. A substantial decrease in fatigue life resulted from exposure to humid air. The decrease was attributed to the interaction between moisture and the iron particles, resulting in particle-matrix interfacial separations.
