The Effect of Environment and Temperature on the Fatigue Behavior of Titanium Alloys

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Sagamore Army Materials Research Conference Proceedings ((SAMC,volume 27))

Abstract

The high strength to weight ratio of titanium alloys has made them particularly attractive for a variety of structural applications at moderately elevated temperatures. In recent years there has been an attempt to raise the service temperature of these alloys through the development of near-α alloys which are more creep resistant. For these newer alloys as for titanium alloys in general the microstructure can be significantly varied as a function of thermo-mechanical processing history and it is of interest to determine the fatigue properties in terms of microstructure. In addition, the oxidation characteristics of titanium can be expected to influence the fatigue process particularly since titanium has a high solubility for oxygen, the basis for its excellent diffusion bonding characteristics. Further, as the service temperature is increased the potential for creep-fatigue interaction is also increased. The aim of this paper is to review the current state of knowledge concerning the potential environmental-creep-fatigue interactions in titanium alloys.
