Abstract

The mechanical properties of aluminum alioys have been well documented at temperatures down to -320°F for many years [1–3] and, within the past few years, a reasonable amount of information has been developed at -423°F with liquid hydrogen as the cooling agent [4–7]. Nevertheless, little has been known of the properties of aluminum alloys at -452°F, the temperature of liquid helium; only one alloy, 5083, has been thoroughly evaluated prior to 1966 [8].
