The microstructure of a thin subsurface layer of VT1-0 titanium alloy samples in the initial submicrocrystalline state after exposure to nanosecond laser pulses has been studied using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (with the possibility of X-ray microanalysis).
The effect of treatment with nanosecond laser pulses on the fatigue resistance of plate samples of recrystallized (grain size of the order of 2-3 µm) commercially pure titanium (grade VT1-0) under cyclic tensile loading is studied. The results of investigations by methods of scanning and transmission electron microscopy of the microstructure of the subsurface layer of the alloy under study after exposure to nanosecond laser irradiation and subsequent fatigue tests are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
