Description
Summary:In a context of optimization of the crack propagation resistance properties in αβ titanium alloys, this work aim to explore interactions between microstructure and deformation at crack tip in lamellar titanium alloy, especially regarding to the differences between the two propagation regimes observed in these alloys. Analysis of crack path in these two propagation regimes will be performed with EBSD measurements at mid-thickness to characterize the crystallography contribution during propagation. This analysis indicates a strong propensity to cracking along crystallographic planes in the first propagation regime, followed by a reduction of this trend after the transition between the two regimes.
