Abstract
Fatigue crack growth mechanisms of long and small cracks were investigated in cast and wrought aluminum and titanium alloys with various microstructures (as-cast A535, 6061-T61, and mill-and beta annealed Ti-6Al-4V). In addition, friction stir welded and cold spray processed 6061-T61 were also investigated. The effects of microstructure on the fatigue crack growth response of each material were evaluated. Long crack growth data were generated on compact tension specimens at low and high stress ratio R=0.1 and 0.7 respectively. Small crack growth testing was performed on corner and surface flaw tension specimens at low stress ratio, R=0.1. Fatigue crack growth mechanisms at the microstructural scale of the materials were identified and will be discussed. Closure corrections were applied to long crack growth data, and the results were compared to experimental small crack growth data. Models for small crack growth predictions from long crack growth data will also be presented and discussed.
