Analysis on High Cycle Fatigue Properties and Fatigue Damage Evolution of TC25 Titanium Alloy

Abstract:

The high cycle fatigue tests for smooth specimens of TC25 titanium alloy under different stress ratios are carried out on a MTS 809 Material Test Machine at a given maximum stress level of 917MPa at ambient temperature, the high cycle fatigue lifetimes for such alloy are measured, and the effects of stress amplitude and mean stress on high cycle fatigue life are analyzed. The initial resistance is measured at the two ends of smooth specimen of TC25 titanium alloy, every a certain cycles, the fatigue test is interrupted, and the current resistance values at various fatigue cycles are measured. The ratio of resistance change is adopted to characterize the fatigue damage evolution in TC25 titanium alloy, and a modified Chaboche damage model is applied to derive the fatigue damage evolution equation. The results show that the theoretical calculated values agree well with the test data, which indicates that the modified Chaboche damage model can precisely describe the accumulated damage in TC25 titanium alloy at high cycle fatigue under unaxial loading. Finally, the high cycle fatigue lifetimes for TC25 titanium alloy specimens at different strain hardening rates are tested at a given stress ratio of 0.1, the effect of strain hardening on fatigue life is investigated based on a microstructure analysis on TC25 titanium alloy, and an expression between fatigue life and strain hardening rate is derived
