Abstract

The processing of commercially pure titanium VT1-0 with high intensity pulsed electron beam was carried out and the mode of irradiation allowing the increase in fatigue life of the material was revealed. Structure investigations of modified layer and fracture surface of commercially pure titanium samples subjected to fatigue multicycle tests were implemented. By methods of scanning electron microscopy the structural transformations responsible for increase in fatigue life of titanium irradiated with high intensity pulsed electron beam were revealed. It was shown that irradiation of commercially pure titanium of grade VT1-0 with high intensity electron beam (25 J/cm2, 150 μs, 3 pulses) resulted in the refinement of grain structure, formation of multilayer structure. Irradiation facilitated the formation of additional structural levels of micro and nanosize range in surface layer.
