Abstract:
ABSTRACT
The high cycle fatigue (HCF) response to shot peening (SP) and ball-burnishing (BB) of two titanium alloys - one belonging to the Ą -alloy class (Ti-2.5Cu) and the other
belonging to the metastable ƒÒ -alloy class (Beta C) - is compared and contrasted. Increases in surface layer hardness by process-induced high dislocation densities are
quite different between these two alloys owing to marked differences in work-hardening capabilities. The pronounced improvement in HCF performance of Ti-2.5Cu can be
correlated with the observed pronounced surface strengthening. On the other hand, surface strengthening is only marginal in Beta C which can explain the ineffectiveness of
shot peening and ball-burnishing in improving the HCF strength of this alloy. In contrast to smooth specimens, fatigue performance of notched specimens of Beta C is improved
by roller-burnishing (RB).
