摘要
The fatigue and fracture resistance of a commercially made, single-phase Nb-base alloy with 35 at. pct Ti, 5 at. pct Cr, 6 at. pct Al, and several elements to increase solid solution strengthening have been investigated. The threshold for fatigue crack growth was determined to be approximate to 7 MPa root m and fracture toughness approximate to 35 MPa root m. Crack growth was intermittent and sporadic; the fracture path was tortuous, crystallographic, and appeared to favor the {100} and {112} planes. Fatigue crack closure was measured directly at the crack tip. The fatigue and fracture properties of the commercial alloy are compared against those of Nb-Cr-Ti and Nb-Cr-Ti-Al alloys. The comparison indicated that Ti addition is beneficial for, but Al addition is detrimental to, both fracture toughness and fatigue crack resistance.
