ZK60A-T6 Mag...Fatigue properties

[SVanden]

Hello
Anyone out there have any fatigue specs for ZK60A-T6 Mag?

Endurance limit, and/or a good s-n curve would be great.

Thanks

This alloy is used in the T5 temper much more often than the T6 temper. The T5 S-N curve is available in MIL-HDBK-5, and a free version of the Mg chapter is available here:

The T6 temper properties shouldn't be much different. Obviously, a critical component would require new testing to reveal true performance.
