Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Non-Destructive Testing

Background:

  • Fatigue damage in titanium alloys poses significant safety risks in aerospace and other industries.
  • Early detection of fatigue is critical for preventing catastrophic failures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate fatigue damage progression in Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy.
  • To utilize thermographic detection of dissipated heat for assessing fatigue states.
  • To develop a methodology for in-field fatigue condition assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Thermographic detection of heat dissipation during short-term mechanical loading.
  • Investigated two thermal excitation methods: high amplitude mechanical loading and small amplitude ultrasonic loading.
  • Derived a formula for temperature enhancement due to heat generation during a loading cycle.

Main Results:

  • The initial rate of temperature increase indicates the microstructural state and presence of prior fatigue damage.
  • A correlation was established between temperature increase during ultrasonic loading and accumulated fatigue cycles.
  • A formula describing temperature enhancement from heat generation was derived.

Conclusions:

  • Thermographic analysis of heat dissipation is a viable method for detecting early fatigue damage in titanium alloys.
  • The study suggests a methodology for in-field assessment of fatigue condition using ultrasonic loading and thermography.
  • This approach enhances safety in critical industries like aerospace.
