Abstract

The fatigue damages due to pores of MIM-sintered Ti64 were investigated using the synchrotron X-ray CT imaging. The effect of pores on the fatigue strength limits was analysed independently from that of grain size by introducing the fatigue limit ratio RF. The pores near to the maximum-stress area were identified by elastic FEM. The maximum stress intensity factor KI-max at the edge of the identified pores showed a negative correlation with RF. Moreover, the initial cleavage in the crack was influenced by the mutual interference of both stress fields by the proximity of the identified pore and its adjacent pores.
