Abstract
Grain reduction in a widely used Ti-6Al-4V alloy increases its endurance limit at room temperature. In this work, the behavior of the ultrafine-grained alloy under cyclic load at the temperature of 625 K is considered. Research was conducted to examine the fatigue life in a low-cycle area of the ultrafine-grained Ti-6Al-4V alloy produced by equal-channel angular pressing. Tensile and fatigue testing of the Ti-6Al-4V samples with coarse-grained (CG) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) structures were carried out at 293 and 625 K. The alloy demonstrated an enhanced strength and fatigue life at both temperatures. The representative features of the microstructural evolution and the fracture features in the UFG and CG alloys after fatigue tests are described in detail. The prospects for the use of the UFG Ti-6Al-4V alloy for engineering applications, such as in the production of critical gas-turbine engine parts, is discussed.
