Fatigue Limit of Two-Phase Titanium Alloy after Surface Deformation-Diffusion Treatment

S. M. Lavrys et al.

Summary: The fatigue behavior of a two-phase titanium alloy (Ti-5Al-5Mo-5 V-Cr-Fe) was investigated under rotating bending conditions. The alloy was hardened through deformation (ball burnishing), diffusion (gas nitriding), and their combination (deformation-diffusion treatment). The research found that the combination treatment resulted in a 15% increase in fatigue limit compared to gas nitriding alone. The study also analyzed the fatigue fracture features of the alloy after different surface engineering methods and attempted to explain the superior fatigue characteristics of the deformation-diffusion treatment compared to gas nitriding and ball burnishing.

Processing and properties of powder metallurgy Ti-Cu-Nb alloys

M. Paul et al.

Summary: This study investigates the processing and properties of Ti-Cu-Nb alloys obtained via powder metallurgy. The studied alloys have a lamellar microstructure, which is refined by the incremental addition of Cu+Nb and a eutectoid substructure is formed for sufficiently high contents of Cu. The resistance to plastic deformation increases monotonically due to the microstructural changes, while the ductility initially increases for small additions of Cu+Nb and subsequently decreases due to the impact of the residual pores.

Huizhi Peng et al.

Summary: Post heat treatment is essential for additively manufactured alloys. This study investigated the hardening response of a Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo alloy processed by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) to a one-step heat treatment.

Jae Won Sim et al.

Summary: In this study, the impact of phase conditions on the tensile behaviors of Ti-Cu alloys was investigated. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the alloys were strongly influenced by the Cu content in alpha lath, which depended on the volume of Ti2Cu.
