Cold dwell fatigue of titanium alloys used in aero-engine components has threatened flight
safety for over five decades. This phenomenon was encountered in Al-containing titanium …

Exciting metallurgical breakthroughs of the last decades alongside the development and
wide-ranging availability of new and more capable experimental and theoretical tools for …

Abstract Although Ti-6Al-4V is the most commonly used titanium alloy in the aerospace
industry, the mechanisms governing crack initiation in the different fatigue regimes are not …

This is an overview of micromechanical deformation mechanisms in hexagonal close-
packed metals. We start with an in-depth discussion of single-crystal behaviour concerning …

Near-alpha titanium alloy Ti6242Si, widely used in aero-engine compressor discs, was
subjected to low cycle fatigue loading at room temperature. Fracture initiated by facet …

Fatigue is a difficult multi-scale modelling problem nucleating from localised plasticity at the
scale of dislocations and microstructure with significant engineering safety implications …

In this work, Ti60 alloys with different micro-texture intensity were designed to elucidate the
effect of micro-texture on fatigue life and dwell sensitivity and the difference in crack initiation …

The study on the deformation mechanism of titanium alloys is beneficial to revealing the
influence of microstructure on mechanical properties, and then providing guidance for the …

Large columnar grains with strong texture in direct laser deposited (DLDed) Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-
64) is widely reported to cause issues like strong mechanical property anisotropy and poor …

Initially, this article precisely determines that the “facet” on the fracture surface of the Ti-6Al-
4V alloy during high cycle fatigue (HCF) loading under positive stress ratios, as determined …
