Investigation of In-service Creep Failures of Aircraft Ti-6Al-4V Bolts
Three Ti-6Al-4V bolts from mid-life jet aircraft failed during service operation. Each of the failed bolts were installed on a landing gear component. Metallurgical failure analysis indicated that the fracture mechanism is low temperature creep, possibly resulting from a sustained tension load over...
