## Abstract Grit blasting is a common procedure of roughening surfaces to promote physical attachment of porous coatings, but it has been shown to reduce fatigue strength. Shot peening is known to increase fatigue strength by inducing compressive surface stresses; however, it is not known how subse

Abstract
Low‐cycle‐fatigue texts in vacuum and air were performed. Under cyclic loading the Ti‐6Al‐4V showed both cyclic hardening and cyclic softening depending on heat treatment, stress amplitude, and microstructure. Plastic deformation of the β‐phase in the unaged condition due to stress induced martensitic transformation caused cyclic hardening. Cyclic softening was observed if the α‐phase hardened by coherent Ti~3~Al particles was plastically deformed.
Equiaxed microstructures exhibited a stronger cyclic softening than lamellar structures. This behavior could be explained by the pronounced texture of the equiaxed microstructures, whereas the lamellar structures were texture‐free.
The fatigue life was influenced by the cyclic softening process mainly in the low‐cycle‐fatigue regime. The fatigue life at normalized stress amplitude (σ~a~/σ~y~) was shorter for microstructures with strong cyclic softening as compared to microstructures with lower cyclic softening.

## Abstract It has recently been found that alloying with copper improved the inherently poor grindability and wear resistance of titanium. This study characterized the corrosion behavior of cast Ti‐6Al‐4V alloyed with copper. Alloys (0.9 or 3.5 mass % Cu) were cast with the use of a magnesia‐based
## Abstract The mechanical behavior of the Ti‐6Al‐4V ELI alloy in both conventional grain size (CG) and ultrafine‐grained (UFG) conditions under tension and compression at elevated temperatures (500–800 °C) is considered. Grain refinement by equal‐channel angular pressing (ECAP) followed by multicy
