Effect of Temperature and Loading Frequency on the Fatigue Behavior of Ti-17

Abstract:

A high-temperature ultrasonic fatigue testing system was developed to evaluate the gigacycle fatigue properties of Ti-17. Ultrasonic (20 kHz) fatigue tests were performed at room temperature, 200°C and 350°C, respectively. The dynamic Young’s modulus and fatigue endurance limit decrease with increasing temperature linearly. Rotating bending (50 Hz) tests were performed to evaluate the influence of loading frequency at room temperature, 200°C and 350°C, respectively. There is an obviously loading frequency effect at elevated temperature, although no loading frequency effect at room temperature.
