Abstract

In this paper the results of a study designed to improve our understanding of the cyclic fatigue and fracture characteristics of a niobium-based alloy are presented. Specimens of the Nb-Al-Ti-Mo alloy were deformed to failure at ambient temperature in both uniaxial tension and fully-reversed tension-compression loading under total strain-amplitude control. The alloy exhibited limited plasticity and life under strain-controlled fatigue. Cyclic stress controlled high-cycle fatigue characteristics were also established at ambient temperature. The cyclic stress response and fracture characteristics of the alloy are presented and discussed in light of concurrent and mutually interactive influences of intrinsic microstructural effects, cyclic strain and stress amplitude, and ductility of the material.
