I12-JEEP: Joint Engineering, Environmental and Processing	Damage accumulation during high temperature fatigue of Ti/SiCf metal matrix composites under different stress amplitudes Ying Wang , Xu Xu , Wenxia Zhao , Nan Li , Samuel A.

Burnett Acta Materialia 16 DOI: 10.1016/j.actamat.2021.116976 Diamond Proposal Number(s): [20226] Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: The damage mechanisms and load redistribution taking place under high temperature (350°C), high cycle fatigue (HCF) of TC17 titanium alloy/unidirectional SiC fibre composites have been investigated in situ using synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (CT) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) under two stress amplitudes. The three-dimensional morphology of the fatigue crack and fibre fractures has been mapped by CT. At low stress amplitude, stable growth occurs with matrix cracking deflecting by 50-100 µm in height as it bypasses the bridging fibres. At higher stress amplitude, loading to the peak stress led to a burst of fibre fractures giving rise to rapid crack growth. Many of the fibre fractures occurred 50-300 µm above/below the matrix crack plane during rapid growth, contrary to that in the stable growth stage, leading to extensive fibre pull-out on the fracture surface. The changes in fibre loading, interfacial stress, and the extent of fibre-matrix debonding in the vicinity of the crack have been mapped over the fatigue cycle and after the rapid growth by XRD. The fibre/matrix interfacial sliding extends up to 600 µm (in the stable-growth zone) or 700 µm (in the rapid-growth zone) either side of the crack plane. The direction of interfacial shear stress reverses over the loading cycle, with the maximum frictional sliding stress reaching ∼55 MPa in both regimes. In accordance with previous studies, it is possible that a degradation in fibre strength at elevated temperature is responsible for bursts of fibre fracture and rapid crack growth under higher stress amplitude.

I12-JEEP: Joint Engineering, Environmental and Processing	Direct evidence for dynamic phase transformation during high temperature deformation in Ti-64 Christopher Daniel , Chi-Toan Nguyen , Michael D. Atkinson , João Quinta Da Fonseca The 14th World Conference on Titanium DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/202032112037 Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: The microstructure of Ti-64 strongly affects the forming and in-service behaviour of aerospace components. The development of microstructure, including crystallographic texture, during thermomechanical processing involves changes caused by deformation, annealing and phase transformation. Recently, it has been reported that deformation and transformation occur concurrently, in a dynamic α → β transformation process, driven by the net flow softening it produces. Here, we present the results of an in-situ synchrotron diffraction experiment that aimed to detect and measure the extent of dynamic phase transformation during hot deformation and its contribution to the crystallographic texture of the alloy. Forged Ti-64 samples were deformed in uniaxial tension at 950°C and a strain rate of about 0.02 s-1, using an electro-thermal mechanical tester (ETMT) mounted on the I12: JEEP beamline at Diamond Light Source. By using a high energy 89 keV synchrotron X-ray beam and a fast acquisition rate (10 Hz) we were able to measure, during deformation, the internal elastic lattice strains in the two phases, the crystallographic texture of both phases and the α → β phase fraction. The results show, for the first time, direct evidence of dynamic transformation during isothermal hot deformation.	Oct 2020
