Abstract

Cold rolling of the titanium alloy Timetal 834 was found to cause marked enhancement in low-cycle fatigue (LCF) life at low strain amplitude and to eliminate bilinear behavior from the Coffin–Manson (C-M) relationship. It was due to work hardening of surface grains of soft orientation and consequent increase in resistance of the material against crack initiation. The observed effect was not associated with texture.
