Abstract
In the present study the fatigue crack propagation resistance of a nearly fully lamellar quaternary TiAl based is investigated at room-temperature. The fatigue crack growth rates material are shown to be highly sensitive on the applied stress intensity factor amplitude. A special attention is also paid to the influence of extrinsic factors. Thus crack-closure is proved to strongly influence the propagation. As regards environmental effects , ambient air induces fatigue crack growth rates two orders of magnitude higher than those measured in vacuum. The role of moisture in this deleterious effect is discussed.
