Fracture toughness of TiAl-Cr-Nb-Mo alloys produced via centrifugal casting
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 22
Abstract
Fracture toughness of a TiAl base intermetallic alloy has been investigated at room temperature. The Ti-48Al-2.5Cr-0.5Nb-2Mo (at. %) alloy produced via centrifugal casting exhibits fine nearly lamellar microstructures, consisting mainly of fine lamellar grains, together with a very small quantity of residual β phases along lamellar colony boundaries. In order to determine the alloy fracture toughness compact tension specimens were tested and the results were compared with those available in literature.

Analisi termica per la valutazione del comportamento a fatica di provini soggetti a successive serie di carichi
Partendo dalla osservazione che provini precedentemente danneggiati hanno un limite di fatica differente (vedi Miner) viene esaminato il comportamento di un acciaio soggetto a serie di carichi affaticanti al fine di veri...
