Fatigue Crack Growth Characteristics and Fracture Toughness of γ-Tial Base Alloy Sheet Material
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Room temperature tension-tension fatigue crack growth experiments were perfomed on single edge notch specimens of Ti-48Al-2Cr sheet materials produced on industrial scale with different microstructures ranging from near gamma to fully lamellar. Crack extension was monitored using a travelling optical microscope and a DC potential method. Crack paths and fracture surfaces were investigated by SEM. Fracture toughness data were determined by monotonic loading of previously fatigued samples.
