The high cycle fatigue (HCF) properties and microcrack initiation behavior of Ti-55531 alloy with a multilevel lamellar microstructure under various notch radii were systematically investigated. The reduction of notch root radius significantly promotes fatigue microcrack initiation, and then dramatically reduces the HCF life and strength of the alloy. The cyclic deformation of the alloy is mainly controlled by the slipping and deformation twinning in plates, and the primary fatigue crack initiation micro-mechanism is a/b interface cracking induced by slipping and twinning at all notch HCF specimens.
Notch high cycle fatigue (HCF) properties and microcrack initiation behavior of Ti-55531 alloy with a multilevel lamellar microstructure under various notch radii were systemat-ically investigated. Results indicate that the reduction of notch root radius significantly promotes fatigue microcrack initiation, and then dramatically reduces the HCF life and strength of the alloy. Cyclic deformation of the alloy is mainly controlled by the slipping and deformation twinning ina plates. The primary fatigue crack initiation micro-mechanism is a/b interface cracking induced by slipping and twinning at all notch HCF specimens. Moreover, the volume fraction of twinning would increase with decreasing of the notch root radius. Interestingly, when the notch root radius is the smallest (R 1/4 0.14 mm) and the stress concentration factor is the largest (Kt 1/4 4), in addition to slipping and twinning, basal stacking faults promoting the cracking of a/b interface could be another crucial HCF microcrack initiation mechanism of the alloy. Furthermore, with decreasing of notch root radius and increasing of stress concentration factor, the size of cycle plastic deformation zone at notch root gradually reduces to the size of a colony and even the a plate. Therefore, the order of influential degree of three different levels microstructure on the crack initiation mechanism of notched HCF can be arranged as a plate > a colony > b GB.& COPY; 2023 The Author(s).
