Abstract: | The effect of Pt ion plating on the high cycle axial fatigue life of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo specimens was studied at room temperature
and 455 °C. Unlike other coatings, the plated material tested in this work showed an increase in fatigue strength when compared
to uncoated material. The fatigue strength improvement was greater at 455 °C than at room temperature. Coated specimens cycled
close to the fatigue limit at 455 °C demonstrated the highest improvement, which was associated with subsurface fatigue crack
initiation. The uncoated specimens, tested under similar conditions, failed by cracking at the surface. Sectioning analysis
showed no defects in the subsurface initiation sites. The initiation was related to groups of similarly aligned coarse α platelets.
It is suggested that the Pt ion plating caused some surface hardening as well as oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures
leading to the suppression of surface crack initiation. |
