Dwell sensitivity of titanium alloys at ambient temperature (~250 C) is a well-known phenomenon, although the question about the exact micromechanical reasons responsible for this still remains open. In this work, the normal and dwell fatigue response of a near-alpha titanium alloy, IMI 834, is studied. Samples with three different microstructures, namely, fully lamellar, fully equiaxed and bimodal, are evaluated for their dwell fatigue behaviors. A reduction in fatigue life by at least an order of magnitude is seen in all the three microstructures. Large plastic strain accumulation (almost equal to the monotonic ductility) was observed during the dwell fatigue loading condition and this is held responsible for this large debit in fatigue life. The normal fatigue lives decreased in the order, bimodal > fully equiaxed > fully lamellar, while the dwell fatigue lives decreased in the order, fully equiaxed > fully lamellar > bimodal. Bimodal microstructure showed a dwell fatigue debit of 17, while fully lamellar and fully equiaxed showed a debit of 9 and 10, respectively.

Frequency is an important factor influencing the fatigue behavior. Regarding to the dwell fatigue, it corresponds to the effect of rise and fall time, which is also an important issue especially for the safety evaluation of structure parts under dwell fatigue loading, such as the engines of aircrafts and the pressure hulls of deep-sea submersibles. In this paper, the effect of rise and fall time (2 s, 20 s, 110 s, and 200 s) on the dwell fatigue behavior is investigated for a high strength titanium alloy Ti-6Al-2Sn-2Zr-3Mo-X with basket-weave microstructure. It is shown that the dwell fatigue life decreases with increasing the rise and fall time, which could be correlated by a linear relation in log–log scale for both the specimen with circular cross section and the specimen with square cross section. The rise and fall time has no influence on the crack initiation mechanism by the scanning electron microscope observation. The cracks initiate from the specimen surface and all the fracture surfaces present multiple crack initiation sites. Moreover, the facet characteristic is observed at some crack initiation sites for both the conventional fatigue and dwell fatigue tests. The paper also indicates that the dwell period of the peak stress reduces the fatigue life and the dwell fatigue life seems to be longer for the specimen with circular cross section than that of the specimen with square cross section.

A near-alpha type titanium alloy Ti-4Al-1.5Mn tube was analyzed after extrusion deformation and annealing treatment. Electron backscattered diffraction is employed to explore the Microstructure and texture characteristic of the recrystallization alloy. The alloy is consisted of equiaxed α grains and fine β phase with {1 0-1 2} twins .It was found that the (10-10) fiber texture along the extrusion direction was the dominate texture in this alloy and the volume fraction was 40.7%.

This paper studied the fatigue behavior of the near alpha titanium alloy TA11 under multiaxial loading conditions with tension - bending vibration, to simulate the service stress state applied on the engine blades, where a large centrifugal force is superimposed with bending vibration loads. A plate-like specimen was used in the fatigue tests with different ratios between the tension and bending vibration loads, then, the energy based fatigue criteria were applied for correlation of the test results. The fatigue properties of titanium alloy TA11 under the specialized loading conditions are characterized and discussed.
