简介:本文对TB6钛合金锻件弦向和径向两种取样方向分别进行了室温和200℃下旋转弯曲高周疲劳、轴向低周疲劳和疲劳裂纹扩展性能试验研究。试验结果表明,弦向(C)和径向(R)两种取样方向对该合金锻件的旋转弯曲高周疲劳、轴向低周疲劳性能和疲劳裂纹扩展性能没有影响;温度升高可加速该合金锻件的疲劳裂纹萌生,但在裂纹扩展阶段,该合金高温下的韧性优势与屈服强度降低的劣势平衡的结果使其在室温~200℃温度范围内的疲劳性能基本不受温度的影响;在10—20mm的厚度范围内,厚度对该合金的疲劳裂纹扩展性能没有影响;在3.5%NaCl盐雾环境中。腐蚀介质对TB6钛合金的疲劳裂纹扩展速率在初始阶段有迟滞作用,但在应力强度因子范围大于14MPam后有加速作用。
