- Abstract
- This report provides temperature data that could be used to establish the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) loss of candidate engine mount materials after been exposed to a standard flame for 5 and 15 minutes. The materials tested included 4130 steel (baseline),15-5 PH steel, titanium 6A1-4V, Inconel 718, and aluminum 7075. These materials were instrumented internally with thermocouples and exposed to the standard flame. MIL-Handbook-5H provides some data with regards to the UTS loss of these materials while heated, but additional strength tests must be conducted to account for the higher temperatures experienced by these materials while exposed to the standard fire.
