To improve the fatigue resistance of the bolt connecting hole, the effect of double cold expansion (DCE) of the hole on the fatigue life of TB6 titanium alloy was investigated. The fatigue fracture, surface roughness, residual stress, hardness and microstructure of the hole wall were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), roughmeter, X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness tester and optical microscopy. The mechanism of DCE on the fatigue life of the hole was also investigated. The results show that the mean value of the fatigue life of DCE specimen is much higher than that of the interference fit specimen. The surface integrity of the hole wall is improved after DCE. The roughness decreases remarkably. The deep surface-strengthen-layer with high hardness and deep residual compressive stress field are formed around the hole through severe plastic deformation of the microstructure of the hole wall. It is considered that the improvement of surface integrity plays an important role on the enhancement of fretting fatigue life.
