Abstract

An attempt is made to evaluate effect of elevated temperature and welding process on low cycle fatigue properties of two titanium alloys. Strain controlled low cycle tension-compression tests were carried out at 20°C, 200°C and 350°C temperatures. Specimens machined from as- supplied material and those with the weld and heat af-fected zone were used. Conclusions relating the effect of weld, heat affected zone and test temperature on low cycle fatigue properties are made.
