Popis: The fracture surface characteristics and the associated micromechanisms governing the fish-eye crack initiation of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy under very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) loading are investigated. Microscopic observation revealed that the crack initiation area of fish-eye center is covered by ragged-like mountains and dimples containing various irregular rods/particles, grooves and microvoids. These micro-ductile characteristics primarily result from the nucleation and coalescence of microvoids and grooves at αs/βr interface inside βtrans. This could be due to the incompatibility of both micro-plastic deformation and slips in αs and βr. The βtrans plays a dominant role in the fish-eye crack initiation and early propagation process of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy in the VHCF regime.
