Abstract
To research the crack growth characteristics of diffusion bonded laminates with localized no-welded region of TC4 titanium alloy, the fatigue tests for 8mm thick TC4 three-layer diffusion bonded laminates with localized φ12mm and φ15mm no-welded area were conducted under the constant amplitude fatigue stress of R=0.093 inserted with marker load of R=0.7. The crack growth (a, N) data were obtained by QF. The analysis on the failure surface shows the crack growth could be divided into three phases. The contrast on the da/dN-a curves of those coupons shows that the crack growth characteristic in the no-welded area has no difference, the crack growth rate of the φ15mm no-welded area is lower than that of φ12mm no-welded area in the welded boundary area.
