Titanium Alloy Developments For Future Fan Disc Applications – The Fatigue Response of “Alloy 104”

Article Preview

Abstract:

Alloy 104 is a novel high strength, α+β titanium alloy primarily aimed at aero-engine fan disc applications. Two microstructural variants of Alloy 104 have been assessed. Room temperature tensile strength and elongation have been investigated alongside a more detailed study of low and high cycle fatigue behaviour. The alloy clearly demonstrated an improved fatigue resistance in both microstructural conditions, whilst maintaining forgeability and a comparable density to Ti-6Al-4V. Furthermore, the alloy has been subjected to a load regime with a hold period at peak loads and proven to be insensitive to dwell fatigue.
