Abstract
Figure 3.1 illustrates schematically the reported fatigue crack initiation sites for the three main microstructural categories of near-α and α–β alloys (Wells and Sullivan 1969; Stubbington and Bowen 1974; Eylon and Pierce 1976; Eylon and Hall 1977; Postans and Jeal 1977; Ruppen et al. 1979; Bania et al. 1982; Bolingbroke and King 1986; Wojcik et al. 1988; Dowson et al. 1992; Evans and Bache 1994; Demulsant and Mendez 1995; Lütjering et al. 1996; Wagner 1997; Hines and Lütjering 1999).
