| Summary: | Fatigue crack growth as a function ofαphase volume fraction in Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo(Ti-6242)alloy was investigated using fatigue testing,optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and transmission electron microscopy.Theα+βannealing treatments with different solid solution temperatures and cooling rates were conducted in order to tailor microstructure with differentαphase features in the Ti-6242 alloy,and fatigue crack growth mechanism was discussed after detailed microstructure characterization.The results showed that fatigue crack growth rate of Ti-6242 alloy decreased with the decrease in volume fraction of the primaryαphase(αp).Samples with a large-sizedαgrain microstructure treated at high solid solution temperature and slow cooling rate have lower fatigue crack growth rate.The appearance of secondaryαphase(αs)with the increase of solid solution temperature led to crack deflection.Moreover,a fatigue crack growth transition phenomenon was observed in the Paris regime of Ti-6242 alloy with 29.8% αp(typical bi-modal microstructure)and large-sizedαgrain microstructure,owing to the change of fatigue crack growth mechanism. |
