Fatigue behavior of titanium alloys
- eds.
This symposium was international in nature, with leaders in the fields of fatigue technology and the metallurgy of titanium from the US, Europe and Asia. It covered basic research, development, applications and modeling--life predictions and design of both fatigue crack initiation and propagation of titanium alloys. There were presentations on the full range of titanium alloy systems, from commercially pure and {alpha}-alloys, {alpha}/{beta}- and {beta}-alloys to the gamma titanium aluminides. The effects of processing/heat treatment/microstructure on the fatigue properties were discussed, and models proposed to correlate the microstructures to the observed fatigue performance. Test environments reported on included hard vacuum (and the effect of vacuum level), vacuums with partial pressures of miscellaneous gases, lab air and aqueous media. A session was devoted to the effects of environment and fatigue enhancement via surface treatments using techniques such as shot peening and roller burnishing. The effects of dwell on both S-N and crack growth rate behavior were covered. It was a very comprehensive symposium with presentations from academia, government laboratories and industry, with industrial participants ranging from the petroleum industry to medical and aerospace interests. This book has been separated into four sections, representing the technology areas covered in various sessions, namely Mechanisms of Fatigue crack Initiation and Propagation of Conventional Alloys, Fatigue in Intermetallics, Environmental and Surface Aspects of Fatigue, and Application, Life Prediction and Design. Separate abstracts were prepared for most papers in this volume.
