Roller-burnishing to improve fatigue life in beta-titanium alloys

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20013328

The possibilities for using roller-burnishing to improve fatigue behavior in the beta titanium alloys Ti-3Al-8V-6Cr-4Mo-4Zr (Beta C) and Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al (10-2-3) are examined. While roller burnishing does not significantly increase the endurance limit in Beta C, fatigue lifetimes at high cyclic stresses can be increased by up to one order of magnitude. In 10-2-3, the endurance limit can be increased by roughly 100 MPa, while fatigue life at high cyclic stresses is only marginally improved.
