The effect of loading direction on the dwell fatigue properties of Ti-6Al-4V forged bar with highly oriented texture

The purpose of this study was to improve our understanding of the effect of macro/micro texture on dwell fatigue properties.The Ti-6Al-4V forged bar with highly oriented texture and fine equiaxed microstructure was used.Dwell fatigue, cyclic fatigue and creep tests were conducted at room temperature by using specimens taken in the longitudinal (L)
