Abstract

The effect of fabrication processes on the governing mechanical failure criteria for Alloy 22, Ti-Grade 2/7, and Ti-Grade 5/24 has been evaluated through the development of material specific failure assessment diagrams (FAD). The Barsom and Rolfe Charpy V-Notch (CVN) energy to KICempirical relationship was shown to be conservative when compared to experimental KJC data for Alloy 600 and 690, which indicates that the KIC derivation is most likely conservative for Alloy 22 as well. In contrast, the CVN to KICH2 relationship was found to be non-conservative for Ti-Grade 2/7 and Ti-Grade 5/24. The derived KIC value for Alloy 22 was then used to construct a K-based FAD, which indicated that the governing mechanical failure theory was the Tresca criterion for plastic collapse. Both the derived KIC and experimental KQ values were used in the development of the Ti-Grade 2/7 and Ti-Grade 5/24 FADs. The Ti-Grade 2/7 FAD indicated that the governing mechanical failure theory is also plastic collapse while the Ti-Grade 5/24 FADsuggested mixed mode failure processes where neither linear-elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) nor Tresca can accurately predict.
