摘要

This study systematically investigates the effects of dual-stage heat treatment on residual stress relief and fatigue life of severely cold-rolled Ti6Al4V alloy. The synergistic influence of severe plastic deformation and dual-stage heat treatment on residual stress evolution and fatigue performance is examined. Two dual-stage heat treatment routes were designed: HT1 involves continuous heating with a 2 h hold at 400 °C followed by ramping to the second-stage temperature, while HT2 includes intermediate cooling to room temperature before reheating. Experimental and simulation results show that extended second-stage treatment enhances stress relaxation; for example, under HT1 at 600 °C for 4 h, compressive residual stress at 4.5 mm depth decreased from −101.6 to −82.8 MPa. Moreover, optimized HT2 conditions (600 °C for 2 h) improved fatigue life by 16.1% compared with HT1. This work provides a comprehensive thermomechanical framework for residual stress control and fatigue optimization in Ti6Al4V, offering guidance for enhancing the service stability of high-performance titanium alloy components.
