Summary

HIGH CYCLE FATIGUE TESTS AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES WERE PERFORMED FOR TITANIUM ALLOYS AND AUSTENITIC STEELS. THE S-N CURVES (WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS) SHIFTED TO HIGHER STRESS OR LONGER LIFE SIDE WITH A DECREASE IN TEST TEMPERATURE IN FORGED TITANIUM-6 ALUMINIUM-4 VANADIUM ALLOYS. THEREWAS LITTLE CHANGE IN FATIGUE STRENGTH BETWEEN 77 AND 4 K FORTEDLY FATIGUE STRENGTH AT 1 MILLION CYCLES INCREASED IN PROPORTION TO A GAIN IN STRENGTH BY TEMPERATURE DECREASE. HOWEVER, A RATIO OF THE FATIGUE STRENGTH TO TENSILE OR YIELD STRENGTH DEPENDED ON MATERIAL AND ITS PROCESSING. FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF COMBINATION OF YIELD STRENGTH AND FATIGUE STRENGTH, AUSTENITIC STEELS HAD A HIGHER FATIGUE STENGTH THAN TITANIUM ALLOYS AT A GIVEN YIELD STRENGTH. AMONG THE TITANIUM ALLOYS, THE ROLLED ONES EXCEEDED THE FORGED ONES.
