Microstructure and fatigue properties of linear friction welded TC4 titanium alloy joints
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The welded joints are often subjected to cyclic stresses and high-strain-rate deformation resulting in worrisome fatigue failure. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the fatigue resistance and cyclic deformation characteristics of these weldments. Ti–6Al–4V–0.3Fe–0.1C–0.05N–0.015H–0.2O (TC4) titanium alloy joints were produced via linear friction welding and a sound joint was obtained. It was observed that fine subgrains formed in the weld zone where the hardness became higher. The strain ratio had a strong effect on the cyclic deformation characteristics of the joint, with hysteresis loops being different at different strain ratios. However, the difference of fatigue life of the joint was small with varying strain ratios. The stress amplitude of linear friction welded TC4 joint showed essentially cyclic softening until failure at all strain ratios. Fatigue cracks initiated from the near-surface of base metal and propagated by the formation of fatigue striations together with secondary cracks.

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.
