The fracture surface of TC17 alloy tends to exhibit facet characteristic at R> 0, but it presents
rough area morphology at R=− 1 for the internal crack initiation and early growth region. The …

In this paper, very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior of an additively manufactured (AM) Ti-
6Al-4V by selective laser melting process and post-heat treated by hot-isostatic pressing is …

Slip transfer is a major concern to understand fatigue behavior and damage, especially in
titanium alloys. The presently reported investigation focused on the influence of the applied …

In the present study, the mechanism of fatigue and dwell-fatigue crack initiation was
investigated in Ti-6Al-4V with a bi-modal microstructure. While substantial dwell-fatigue life …

Traditionally, equiaxed α grains rather than lamellar microstructure (LM) domains in titanium
alloys are regarded as potential internal crack origins in high-cycle fatigue (HCF) and very …

This work investigated the fatigue crack initiation mechanism of the equiaxed Ti-6Al-4V alloy
in the very high cycle fatigue (VCHF) regime. Ultrasonic fatigue experiments were carried …

Due to the high-density energy input characteristics of laser additive manufacturing (AM),
gas pores are often as high-frequency defects in additive manufacturing materials, which …

The fracture surface characteristics and the associated micromechanisms governing the fish-
eye crack initiation of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy under very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) loading are …

The initiation of internal fatigue cracks in very high cycle fatigue of Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy was
investigated using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SR‐CT). Micro‐CT …

Fatigue crack initiation sites would transfer from surface to subsurface of metal specimens
through shot peening (SP) or laser shock surface strengthening. This phenomenon is …
