Abstract
This work investigates the fracture toughness of a new high strength alumin um alloy AA 6069. Earlier work reports that this alloy has higher tensile a nd fatigue strength and corrosion properties than AA 6061. The results of t his research reports that the fracture toughness of 6069-T6, similarly, is comparable or superior to that of 6061-T6 with identical ingot preparation and subsequent forming procedures.
