Abstract:The fatigue damage of titanium has been studied on thin plate specimens subjected to alternating plane bending in argon gas. Fatigue strength in argon gas at Nf = 108 cycles was obtained to be 102 MPa. Fatigue behavior of titanium in argon gas has been attributed to the degradation of grain boundary cohesion with argon gas atoms/molecules. Fatigue cracks were propagated partly in intergranular mode. It has been plausible that argon gas atoms/molecules could penetrate into the distorted regions close to grain b… Show more
