The High-Cycle Fatigue Behavior of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy.
Abstract
The cyclic stress-strain behavior and the S/N behavior of a 'pseudo-elastic' alloy, Ti-6Al-4V of coarsened microstructure, and of a 'plastic' material, copper, are compared. In accord with views recently put forth by Freudenthal, important differences are noted between these two types of materials. These differences include the mode of crack initiation, the intensity of the Bauschinger effect, and the level below macroscopic yeild at which long-life fatigue data lie. (Author)
