Titanium alloys are equipped with impressive high strength and low density, along with other notable mechanical properties. Often the choice for low to intermediate temperature mechanical applications, titanium alloys are well utilised within the aerospace industry, making up 40% of the aero-engine. Within the gas turbine engine, the high transient...

Thermo-mechanical fatigue data is critical for the generation of appropriate lifing methodologies for a range of in-service applications where non-isothermal conditions are prevalent. Recently the development of more standardised testing approaches through appropriate code of practice documents and international standards has proved crucial. In the...

... The use of a novel quartz lamp furnace set-up was also investigated as part of this research [15,16]. The bespoke radiant lamp furnace (RLF) comprises three independently controllable heating zones and benefits from built-in internal compressed air specimen cooling. ...
... This approach is based on a discontinuity (such as the crack in the test piece) being recorded when a homogeneous current of an adequate value is passed through the whole crosssection of the specimen, causing a potential drop; thus it is thought that the eddy currents produced from the induction heating may interact with the current required for DCPD monitoring, causing noise and interference. However, research conducted by Pretty [14] Materials 2022, 15, 6264 3 of 16 shows the two methods to be a viable combination for TMFCG testing, providing care is taken in selecting an appropriate induction coil design. ...
