Conclusions
-
1.
The cyclic life of (α+β)-titanium alloys depends on the size of the β-transformed phase. The maximum fatigue life has the VT6 alloy whose structure contains the smallest β-transformed phase.
-
2.
The volume percentage of the initial α-phase and β-transformed phase as well as the dimensions of the α-phase have no effect on the cyclic life of (α+β)-titanium alloys.
