Fatigue properties of commercial purity titanium sheets severely deformed by the accumulative roll bonding (ARB) process were investigated. The ARB process was carried out up to 6 cycles (equivalent strain, " eq. ¼ 4:8). The sheets ARB processed by 2-, 4-and 6-cycle consist of fine equiaxed grains and elongated lamellar grains. In the sheet ARB processed by 6-cycle, the mean size of fine equiaxed grain was 89 nm, and the mean thickness of the lamellar grains were 67 nm. The tensile strength increased with increasing the number of the ARB cycle. Fatigue crack growth tests were performed to clarify the fatigue properties such as the crack growth rate and threshold stress intensity factor range for crack growth (ÁK th ). The ÁK th of the ARB processed specimens were smaller than that of the starting sheet. The ÁK th decreased with increasing the number of the ARB cycle until 4-cycle. However, the ÁK th of 6-cycle specimen was larger than that of the 4-cycle specimen. Fracture surface of the 6-cycle specimen was different from that of the 2-and 4-cycle specimens. Fatigue crack propagation behavior changes between 4-and 6-cycle specimens. On the other hand, the crack growth rate decreases with increasing the number of the ARB cycle.

“…Regarding the fatigue of UFG materials, most studies have concentrated on cyclic deformation, fatigue life, surface damage formation and underlying microstructural mechanisms [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Since the fatigue life of machine components and structures are mainly controlled by the growth life of a fatigue crack, the crack growth behavior should be clarified for the design of safe machine components and structures.…”

“…Since the fatigue life of machine components and structures are mainly controlled by the growth life of a fatigue crack, the crack growth behavior should be clarified for the design of safe machine components and structures. Recently, the growth behaviors of millimeter-range cracks in UFG metals were studied for compact-tension [5,7,8] and single edge-notched specimens [9,10]. On the other hand, the fatigue life of smooth specimens is approximately controlled by the growth life of a small surface crack [11].…”
High-cycle fatigue tests were carried out on smooth specimens of ultrafine grained (UFG) copper produced by equal channel angular pressing for 12 passes. The growth behavior of a small surface-crack was monitored. A major crack, which led to the final fracture of the specimen, initiated from shear bands (SBs) at an early stage of stressing. Different tendencies of growth behavior occurred depending on the ranges of crack length. To understand the changes in growth rate and fracture surface morphologies, a quantitative model describing a crack growth mechanism were developed considering the reversible plastic zone size at a crack tip. In addition, the crack growth rate of UFG copper was evaluated by applying the small-crack growth raw.
