Titanium a lloys have been found that the fatigue strength of Ti alloys decreases due to cold dwell fatigue (CDF) at room temperature. Ti and Ti alloys generate creep deformation at room temperature (T/Tm = 0.15). Thus, it is considered that creep affects the reduction in fatigue life in CDF tests. This research intends to clarify the effects of long time dwell under tensile stress and rupture life prediction from the view of creep deformation in CDF characteristics of Ti-6Al-4V. Rupture cycle decreased with increase of dwell time. Additionally, lower limit of rupture life ratio “NCDF/NLCF” was defined from rupture in creep test if it was assumed that creep test was extremely long time dwell CDF test. When strain change in whole dwell time was extracted in CDF tests, strain change was like creep curves and minimum creep rate changed depending on dwell time. Minimum creep rate was calculated by the formula based on experimental results, and then rupture time was calculated by Monkman-grant relationship. All of rupture cycle predictions were in factor of 2. Therefore, rupture cycle and time can be calculated if dwell time is known in CDF tests.
