Microstructure and Strength of Explosively Welded Titanium/Ni-Based Alloy Composite with Cu/Ta as Interlayer

Abstract:

In current research composite copper/tantalum were used as interlayer for explosive welding of titanium and Ni-based alloy sheets. Defects such as cracks coupled with brittle intermetallics compounds were not detected at the interface of dissimilar materials by metallographic analysis. Strength test of obtained composite material reveals growth of yield strength in 2 times in comparison with Ni-based alloy.
