high-cycle fatigue and crack propagation tests employing large specimens in as-welded

these fatigue data as reviewed in this paper.

test results. The total strain, which is controlled in low-

cycle fatigue tests, is divided into plastic and elastic
strains. The high strain regions in which the plastic
strains exceed the elastic strains are the low-cycle fati-
gue regions to which the Manson-Coffin law applies.
The low-cycle fatigue regions vary with the ductility of
the materials, i.e., the region is wide in ductile materials
such as pure titanium, while it is narrow in less ductile
materials such as Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
Cyclic stress-train curves determined by incremen-
tal step tests are another important data set in the low-
cycle fatigue tests. Cyclic plastic deformation causes
microstructural changes, resulting in the occurrence

tile materials such as pure titanium frequently reveal
cyclic hardening. On the other hand, high-strength
and less ductile materials such as Ti-6Al-4V alloy are
frequently subject to cyclic softening.
The gigacycle fatigue properties were evaluated for
high-strength steels, Ti-6Al-4V alloys and aluminium
alloys. Although fatigue cracks normally initiated at
surfaces, i.e., surface fractures occurred, the high-
strength steels revealed internal fractures when the
fatigue limits disappeared. This was also the case for
Ti-6Al-4V alloys. Under conditions where internal
fractures occurred, ultrasonic fatigue testing showed
good agreement with conventional fatigue test results.
Figure 6 shows typical results comparing ultrasonic
fatigue testing with rotating bending fatigue testing.

The gigacycle fatigue properties were also evaluated

under high stress ratio conditions. The stress ratio
effects need careful attention, particularly with Ti-
6Al-4V alloys. Figure 7 shows typical results revealing
the stress ratio effects. The Ti-6Al-4V alloys are more
prone to internal fractures under high stress ratio
conditions, resulting in major degradation of the giga-
cycle fatigue strengths. As a result, the Ti-6Al-4V
alloys showed lower fatigue strengths than their mod-
ified Goodman lines. In general, modified Goodman
lines provide predictions that have a wide safety mar-
gin, so these results are unusual. This phenomenon is
seen uniquely in gigacycle fatigue, since conventional
