Effect of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy specimens crystal lattice curvature within surface layers on fatigue failure mechanisms

Abstract

In the present work the role of the crystal lattice curvature in fatigue failure of Ti-6Al-4V alloy specimens was discussed. The effect of the specimens ultrasonic treatment and further electrolytic hydrogenation on their fatigue properties was revealed. It was found that the crystal lattice curvature resulted in the fatigue durability increase due to a grain boundary sliding at the boundaries of strongly dispersed phases as well as the decrease one by reason of the brittle intermetallic phase of Ti3Al precipitation or the stabilization by hydrogen of the strong BCC ß phase depending on the Ti-6Al-4V specimens structure and phase composition
