Abstract
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.
