Fatigue and fracture in lamellar TiAl alloys

  • 1. Southwest Research Inst., San Antonio, TX (United States)

Description

An overview of the fatigue and fracture mechanisms in lamellar TiAl alloys is presented. Investigations of tensile fracture, fatigue crack initiation, growth of small and large fatigue cracks, and fracture toughness properties are summarized. Pertinent crack-tip micromechanics measurements are utilized to illustrate the various processes by which a crack extends in lamellar TiAl alloys. Based on the results, the influence of microstructure, temperature, and loading rate on tensile properties, fatigue crack initiation and growth, and fracture toughness are elucidated and related to the controlling fracture mechanisms
