High and Low Cycle Fatigue of Orthorhombic Ti-22Al-27Nb Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of the lamellar morphology on the high cycle fatigue (HCF) and low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of the Ti-22Al-27Nb alloy was investigated. The HCF tests were performed in air at an R ratio of 0.1 in the load-control mode, whereas the LCF tests were performed in vacuum at 923 K in the strain-controlled mode. The specimens with fine lamellar microstructure exhibited a better resistance to HCF than those with coarse lamellar microstructure. The microstructure-insensitive behavior was, however, observed in the LCF tests at 923 K. The fatigue mechanism was discussed based on the concurrent observation of the initiation facet and the underlying microstructure, and the TEM observations.
