Abstract
Total strain controlled low cycle fatigue tests on IMI 834 have been conducted in air in the temperature range between 375 and 500°C at a temperature interval of 25°C at the nominal strain rate of 6.67×10−4s−1. The observed maximum peak stress ratio, minimum half-life plastic strain range and lower fatigue life at 425°C indicates the occurrence of dynamic strain aging (DSA). Pronounced deformation bands, increased dislocation density and non-uniform dispersion of dislocations inside primary α grains observed by the study of transmission electron microscopy supports the occurrence of dynamic strain aging. Initial cyclic softening was attributed to shearing of Ti3Al precipitates as revealed by TEM evidences.
