Abstract

The dwell effect of the material can reduce the fatigue lives of titanium alloys at room temperature. A unified fatigue life prediction method developed by the authors’ group is modified in this paper to predict dwell-fatigue crack growth taking into account the effects of dwell time and maximum stress. The modified model can be successfully used to predict the crack growth rate and calculate the fatigue life of different titanium alloys under pure fatigue and dwell-fatigue conditions. It is validated by comparing prediction results with the experimental data of several titanium alloys with different microstructures, dwell time, hydrogen contents, stress ratios and stress levels .
