Abstract
Ti-6Al-4V alloy is widely used for the deep-sea manned submersible. In addition to the normal cyclic loading, the manned cabin will experience a period of dwell time in each cycle during their service life. In this research, the fatigue and dwell-fatigue crack growth behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy under different dwell time were studied experimentally. The mechanism of dwell-fatigue crack growth was investigated. The acceleration phenomenon of the dwell-fatigue crack growth can be directly observed in the experiment. The relationship between the crack length and the dwell time was captured under different [Formula: see text] within one cycle. The results presented that there is a saturation time for the dwell-fatigue crack growth. A prediction model is proposed to predict the dwell-fatigue crack growth behavior considering the effects of dwell time.
