Influence of Alpha/Beta Interface Phase on Fracture Toughness and Fatigue Crack Growth Rate in Ti-6Al-4V.

Abstract

The alpha/beta interface phase is a microstructural feature which occurs in two-phase, alpha/beta, titanium alloys under certain processing conditions. Interface phase can grow to widths of up to approx. 500 nm and has been shown to exert an influence on tensile properties. In this work, its influence on fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth rate in Ti-6Al-4V has been examined. (Author)
