A. fatigue failure in annealed Ti-6Al-4V microstructures. b. fatugue life in annealed and martensitic Ti-6Al-4V. Technical report
In part '2' of the report, the Fatigue crack initiation lives are determined for three annealed microstructures of Ti-6Al-4V: alpha-beta annealed, recrystallized anneal and beta anneal. The tests were conducted using fully reversed cyclic torsional strain amplitudes of plus or minus 0.006 and plus or minus 0.012. At both strain amplitudes the alpha-beta annealed alloy had the longest fatigue life and the beta annealed alloy had the shortest fatigue life. In part 'b', the fatigue life of annealed and quenched microstructures of the alloy Ti-6Al-4V were determined using a fully reversed cyclic torsional strain of 0.02. The quenched microstructures all had a longer fatigue life than the annealed microstructures, but a solution treatment of 1650F followed by a water quench resulted in an alloy with a fatigue life four times longer than any of the other solution treatments and about ten times longer than the annealed specimens.
