Abstract
Ultrasonic fully reversed tension fatigue tests have been performed in the Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) regime (NR>107−108cycles) on Ti-6Al4V specimens containing a controlled internal notch. Two sets of samples have been used. The first one contains a central chimney along the specimen longitudinal axis which brings air to the internal notch; in the second series the notches are not connected to the surface. The microstructure present below the fracture surface of the broken specimens has been studied by electron microscopy (EBSD, TKD and TEM). The formation of nanograins and nanovoids was observed below the surface of the cracks growing in a vacuum environment but not below the surface of cracks connected with ambient air. In the latter case extensive striations were observed. Below each striation the formation of tensile {101̄2} twins was observed.
期刊介绍:
Typical subjects discussed in International Journal of Fatigue address:
Novel fatigue testing and characterization methods (new kinds of fatigue tests, critical evaluation of existing methods, in situ measurement of fatigue degradation, non-contact field measurements)
Multiaxial fatigue and complex loading effects of materials and structures, exploring state-of-the-art concepts in degradation under cyclic loading
Fatigue in the very high cycle regime, including failure mode transitions from surface to subsurface, effects of surface treatment, processing, and loading conditions
Modeling (including degradation processes and related driving forces, multiscale/multi-resolution methods, computational hierarchical and concurrent methods for coupled component and material responses, novel methods for notch root analysis, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, crack growth kinetics, life prediction and durability, and prediction of stochastic fatigue behavior reflecting microstructure and service conditions)
Models for early stages of fatigue crack formation and growth that explicitly consider microstructure and relevant materials science aspects
Understanding the influence or manufacturing and processing route on fatigue degradation, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatigue
Prognosis and damage state awareness (including sensors, monitoring, methodology, interactive control, accelerated methods, data interpretation)
Applications of technologies associated with fatigue and their implications for structural integrity and reliability. This includes issues related to design, operation and maintenance, i.e., life cycle engineering
Smart materials and structures that can sense and mitigate fatigue degradation
Fatigue of devices and structures at small scales, including effects of process route and surfaces/interfaces.
