Abstract

Intergranular and cleavage fractures have been found in the commercial Al-Mg alloys with high Na content. Dimpled fracture has been found in the Al-Mg alloy with low Na content. Pit etching study indicated the cleavage fracture was {100} crystal plane. The tramp element Na was the embrittling agent.
