The study focused on the fretting behaviors of a metastable beta titanium alloy with different microstructures. Results showed that the wear volume is more sensitive to stroke amplitude, and mixed abrasive-adhesive wear is dominant. Different microstructural features significantly affect wear resistance and subsurface microstructure stability. The findings provide valuable data for predicting fatigue life after fretting.
The fretting behaviors of a metastable beta titanium alloy with three kinds of microstructures were studied. Special attentions have been paid to the underlying wear mechanism mediated by fretting conditions and microstructural features. The wear volume is more sensitive to the stroke amplitude rather than the normal loading. The mixed abrasive-adhesive wear is dominated in all fretting samples. The microstructural features make a significant contribution to the difference in the wear resistance and subsurface microstructure stability. Due to a large difference in the grain size and the ability of plastic deformation in adjacent grains, the SM (single-phase microstructure) sample is more favorable to initiation and propagation of cracks. The DM (duplex microstructure) and BM (basketweave microstructure) samples, however, have a high resistance ability to fretting wear and subsurface microstructure stability. This can be attributed to the large amounts of the beta/alpha interfaces and the dispersed orientation distribution of a precipitates. The present work offers valuable experimental data for the prediction of fatigue life after fretting.
