Abstract:
Fatigue crack propagation rates have been measured for Ti-6A1-4V and Ti-5331S aeroengine disc materials using compact tension and corner notched tensile test-pieces. The loadings used simulate both the start-stop operations of aeroengines which lead to low cycle fatigue and the in-flight vibrations which may cause high cycle fatigue. It is suggested that the different fatigue crack growth behavior of Ti-5331S, relative to that of Ti-6A1-4V, arises largely from the greater proportion of crack closure and short crack growth occurring in this alloy.
