激光熔化沉积TC18钛合金的低周疲劳行为

研究激光熔化沉积TC18钛合金的室温低周疲劳行为。通过双重退火热处理制度获得的TC18钛合金显微组织由细小的片层状初生α相和转变β基体组成，且晶界α相不均匀。采用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜分析了低周疲劳试样疲劳断口以及纵截面。结果表明，在低周疲劳断口可以观察到多个裂纹源。主裂纹源区与次裂纹源区具有不同的断裂形貌。当裂纹沿着晶界α相扩展时，连续的晶界α相导致平直的裂纹扩展模式，而不连续的晶界α相导致曲折的裂纹扩展路径。

Low cycle fatigue behavior of laser melting deposited TC18 titanium alloy

Low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of laser melting deposited (LMD) TC18 titanium alloy was studied at room temperature. Microstructure consisting of fine lamella-like primary α phase and transformed β matrix was obtained by double annealed treatment, and inhomogeneous grain boundary α phase was detected. Fatigue fracture surfaces and longitudinal sections of LCF specimens were examined by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Results indicate that more than one crack initiation site can be detected on the LCF fracture surface. The fracture morphology of the secondary crack initiation site is different from that of the primary crack initiation site. When the crack grows along the grain boundary α phase, continuous grain boundary α phase leads to a straight propagating manner while discontinuous grain boundary α phase gives rise to flexural propagating mode.
