The T5 S-N curve is available in MIL-HDBK-5, and a free version of the Mg chapter is available here: http://www.grantadesign.com/MILpdfs/MIL5-H/MIL5H-4-2-3.pdf The T6 temper properties shouldn't be much different. Obviously, a critical component would require new testing to reveal true performance. Regards, Cory Please see FAQ731-376 for tips on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips Fora. Upvote 0 Downvote
