Low Cycle Fatigue Behavior of TA29 Titanium Alloy at Different Temperatures

Abstract:

The low cycle fatigue behaviour of TA29 titanium alloy blisk forging at 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, 600°C were studied. The cyclic stress response, the stress-strain behaviour, the fatigue life and the fractograph were observed and analyzed. Through the double logarithm linear regression, the Coffin-Manson model parameters of TA29 titanium alloy at different temperatures were obtained. The results showed that the fatigue life decreases as the strain amplitude increases. Also, the testing temperature has a significant effect on the low cycle fatigue properties of TA29 titanium alloy. At the same level of the strain amplitude, the fatigue life and the peak value of cyclic stress decrease, while the plastic strain component in total strain amplitude increases with the increase of testing temperature. On the basis of the fractograph of fatigue specimens, the initiation of crack is mainly on the surface of the specimen. Fatigue striations can be seen clearly at fatigue crack propagation area. The fatigue striations in stable fatigue crack propagation area were broadened, and the propagation area was reduced and the final rupture area was increased with the increase of testing temperature.
