Abstract

The microscopic factors causing tensile failure of an α/β laminated Ti-6Al-4V alloy were investigated through in situ scanning electron microscopy and sampling moiré at an ambient temperature. Specifically, multiscale in situ microscopic observations were conducted to extract the most crucial factor of the failure. Slip localization in the vicinity of an intergranular α-sheet was clarified to be the primary factor that causes failure of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. In addition, no relationship between interfacial strain localization and macroscopic shear localization at 45 degrees against the tensile direction was observed.
