研究目的
To analyze the fatigue behavior of titanium alloy TiAl6V4 parts manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM), characterizing fatigue strength from low to high life range under constant amplitude strain control and investigating the notch sensibility of the material.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that TiAl6V4 alloy manufactured by SLM exhibits cyclic softening and a low transition life due to high strength and relatively low ductility. The notch sensibility factor increases with fatigue life, indicating a significant notch effect on fatigue strength. SEM analysis revealed that fatigue cracks initiate from the surface and propagate through the cross section, often with multi-nucleation.
研究不足
The study is limited to the fatigue behavior of TiAl6V4 alloy parts manufactured by SLM under specific conditions. The notch sensibility factor was quantified only for a specific notch geometry (Kt=1.7).
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Fatigue tests were carried out under constant amplitude strain control at room temperature using round dog bone specimens. The material was characterized in terms of tensile mechanical properties, cycle curve, Basquin and Coffin equations.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Specimens were manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) with layers perpendicular to the sample axle. A second batch of specimens was prepared with a notch to investigate notch sensibility.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Dartec 100 KN servo-hydraulic mechanical testing machine, Instron 2620-601 extensometer, Leica DM4000 M LED optical microscope, Philips XL30 scanning electron microscope.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Specimens were subjected to stress release treatment, machined, and polished. Fatigue tests were performed under displacement control, and fracture surfaces were analyzed using SEM.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data was analyzed using Basquin and Coffin-Manson formulations to characterize fatigue behavior.
