Hcf Strength

Tensile and high cycle fatigue (HCF) property for TiC particle reinforced titanium matrix composite has been studied in this paper. The results indicated that the composite possessed favorite comprehensive properties. The tensile properties for the composite are superior to that of the common high temperature titanium alloys, e.g. IMI834, Ti-1100. Smooth axial fatigue tests were taken at a frequency of 76Hz with a load ratio R of 0.06 and –1, respectively. And HCF strength for the composite at ambient temperature is 595MPa and 494MPa, respectively.

Stress Ratios

In order to investigate the effect of plasma nitriding treatment on fatigue behavior of titanium alloys, very high cycle fatigue tests were carried out for Ti-6Al-4V alloy using an ultrasonic fatigue machine under load control conditions for stress ratios of R=-1 at frequency of ƒ=20KHz. Experiment results showed that plasma nitriding treatment played the principal role in the internal fatigue crack initiation. More importantly, plasma nitriding treatment had a detrimental effect on fatigue properties of the investigated Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and the fatigue strength of material after plasma nitriding treatment appeared to be significantly reduced about 17% over the untreated material.

Tension-tension fatigue tests were conducted using ultrafine-grained commercially pure Titanium (Ti) plates fabricated by multi-directional forging (MDFing). The MDFed pure Ti plates with the thickness of 1 mm were developed aiming at dental implant application. The fatigue properties of MDFed pure Ti plates were superior to those of the conventional rolled pure Ti plates. The higher fatigue strengths in MDFed plates could be attributed to the much finer grains evolved by MDFing. Fatigue crack initiated from specimen surface, when number of cycles to failure was shorter than 106 cycles. In the high cycle fatigue (HCF) region, however, subsurface crack initiation with typical fish-eye feature was recognized in the MDFed pure Ti plate in spite of the thin thickness. Fractographic analyses revealed that no inclusion existed at the center of fish-eye. The subsurface crack initiation mechanism could be related to the inhomogeneity of microstructure with some coarse grains in the inner part of the plate.

Mechanical Behaviours

The role of the stents is to prevent restenosis. The rapid growth of stents’ application in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases resulted in the unique development of these implants. This is mainly due to the effective clinical trials, the success of which determined the use of these endoprostheses. In this study the surface properties of the coronary stents were described by using different methods (stereomicroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive analysis) before and after balloon expansion. Furthermore, the most frequent failures caused by the expansion were introduced. For investigating fatigue properties two high cycle fatigue test equipments were used: the first one simulates the bending stress, and the second one simulates the effect of the pulsating mechanical strain. Surface features of the stents were examined after the fatigue tests as well: macroscopic damages were not originated on the stents, and the implants were not broken down. Only small traces of fatigue occurred on the surface, which became rough; and slip lines and grain boundaries were outlined.
