Abstract
The fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) of Ti-6Al-4V alloys in simulated body fluid (SBF) was first determined by direct current potential drop (DCPD) method. The results show that the acceleration effect of SBF corrosion environment on FCGR of lamellar structure is far greater than that of equiaxed and bimodal structures, especially in Paris region, which is mainly due to the high corrosion sensitivity of the lamellar α/β phase boundary to SBF under fatigue loading.
