A Review of Welding Techniques for Dissimilar Alloys: Titanium-Nickel System

Abstract:

Welding of dissimilar alloys, specifically that of titanium (Ti) and nickel (Ni), poses numerous challenges due to their significant differences in properties. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges associated with the welding of Ti alloys to Ni alloys and explore welding techniques, especially Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding, Laser beam welding, Laser-Arc hybrid welding and friction stir welding processes employed in this context. The challenges primarily involve the formation of brittle intermetallic phases, which can compromise joint quality. Additionally, issues such as thermal distortion, oxidation, and corrosion resistance further complicate the welding process. The paper also highlights recent advancements and innovations in dissimilar welding, such as the use of hybrid welding processes and advanced filler materials, to address the challenges and enhance joint performance. The knowledge shared in this review can guide future research and developmental efforts aimed at improving welding techniques, joint quality, and overall performance of Ti to Ni alloys welds.
