Zusammenfassung:•The susceptibility of Ti–6Al–4V alloy to SCC in ionic liquid is first reported.•In neutral AlCl3–EMIC IL, the SCC cracks initiate at α/β phase boundaries of Ti–6Al–4V alloy.•IGSCC was observed at the early stage of cracking and followed by TGSCC with increasing crack length. The susceptibility of Ti–6Al–4V alloy to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in a Lewis neutral AlCl3–EMIC ionic liquid (IL) was investigated employing U-bend tests. The results indicated that cracking initiated at the α/β phase boundary, propagated intergranularly, followed by transgranular cracking and failed in dimple mode under overloaded stress.
