Microstructural Effects on Thermal-Mechanical Alleviation of Cold Dwell Fatigue in Titanium Alloys

Blog Article

Cold dwell fatigue is a well-known problem in the titanium components of aircraft engines.The high temperature and low dwell stress of in-service conditions have been reported to give Tire Delete rise to dwell fatigue resistance through a thermal-mechanical alleviation process.Here, dwell fatigue tests at room temperature and the component operating temperature were performed on IMI834 titanium alloy to assess the microstructural effects on thermal-mechanical alleviation of cold dwell fatigue while eliminating the effect of chemical composition.The ratcheting strain rates under different loading conditions were quantitatively Plush investigated to aid the understanding of thermal-mechanical alleviation.
