Mechanisms of short-fatigue-crack initiation and propagation in a β-Ti alloy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The microstructurally short-crack initiation and early propagation were studied on the metastable β-Ti alloy TimetalĽB in the solution heat-treated bcc β microstructure under symmetrical pull-push fatigue testing. By means of a finite-element treatment in combination with local displacement measurements applying a laser interferometric strain-displacement gauge (ISDG), it was shown that elastic anisotropy gives rise to high mechanical stresses at certain grain boundaries (GBs). Large-angle GBs were observed to be preferred sites for short-crack initiation. Two modes of fatigue crack initiation were found: one is crack formation along slip bands, often resulting in transgranular crack propagation; the second is intergranular cracking of GBs. Using electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD), local crystallographic orientations were determined and hence the role of GB types in the process of short crack initiation and growth could be taken into account. On the basis of the experimental observations and measurements, the preferred crystallographic conditions for short crack initiation and growth were revealed. The ISDG system was applied to measure the local crack opening displacements of short cracks in order to characterize the dependence of the short-crack closure phenomena on the applied load.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
