Analysis of microstructural facet fatigue failure in ultra-fine grained powder metallurgy Ti-6Al-4V produced through hydrogen sintering
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The hydrogen sintering and phase transformation (HSPT) process is a powder metallurgy method that produces Ti-6Al-4V with fatigue properties rivaling wrought processed Ti-6Al-4V. Previous fatigue work on HSPT Ti-6Al-4V has shown failure to be frequently caused by microstructural facets, which were believed to be grain boundary (GB) α phase. This belief conflicts with other reports as fatigue failure typically occurs across α colonies or primary α grains, not GB α. In this work, electron backscattered diffraction is used to identify these facets as GB α. Furthermore, a simple geometric model predicting the effective slip length of GB α is presented.
