Abstract: Effect of β-flecks on properties of tensile elongation and low cycle.fatigue life at room tern. perature for Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al alloy has been investigated.The cracks along initial β-grain boundaries in the β-fleck region may propagate to form intergranular brittle fracture.Under alternating load,the β-fleck often becomes a fatigue origin.While under higher strain,the cracks initiate and propagate to fracture early at the original β-grain boundaries in β-fleck region and at α-grain boundaries.

Key words: Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al alloy, β-fleck, tensile property, low cycle fatigue life
