Abstract

Background. The presence of a carbon-enriched near-surface layer affects the fatigue properties of titanium. Depending on the saturation conditions, the carburized layer can consist of a carbide phase and/or a diffusion layer (interstitial solid solution based on carbon). The formation of only a diffusion layer without a carbide phase, can serve as a means for increasing the durability of titanium under alternating loading. Therefore, it becomes necessary to establish the parameters of the carburized layer (the level of surface hardening K and the hardened layer thickness l ), which will provide an increase in fatigue properties. Objective. The purpose of the paper is to establish the effect of thermal diffusion saturation with carbon from a gas medium on the durability of titanium alloys. Methods. Carburizing of titanium alloys in a carbon-containing gas mixture has been carried out. On titanium alloys, only an interstitial solid solution based on carbon is formed with different levels of surface hardening – K and the hardened layer thickness – l . Fatigue tests of specimens were carried out under conditions of pure bending and bending with rotation. Results. The influence of the surface hardening level K of the VT1-0 titanium on the fatigue life in low-cycle pure bending is shown and its optimal value is revealed. The fatigue strength of the carburized VT5 and OT4-1 titanium alloys in bending with rotation with different levels of surface hardening K is presented. The dislocation structure of the VT1-0 alloy in the initial state and at the optimal level of surface hardening is investigated. Conclusions. It was found that the fatigue life of the carburized VT1-0 titanium specimens in pure bending increases at the level of surface hardening K = 90% and the hardened layer thickness l = 20 μm. It was found that the fatigue strength of specimens from the VT5 and OT4-1 alloys in bending with rotation increases at the level of surface hardening K = 90%. It was revealed that an ordered dislocation structure is formed on the VT1-0 titanium at the optimal level of surface hardening K = 90%.
