Investigation of the Influence of Macrozones in Titanium Alloys on the Propagation and Scattering of Ultrasound

Wei Yi Yeoh, Bo Lan, Michael J. S. Lowe

The presence of macrozones (or micro-textured regions) in Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) was shown to be a potential cause to the onset of cold dwell fatigue which reduces fatigue life significa…
