Tensile Ductility of Electron Beam Welded Titanium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Butt welded joins were produced between commercially pure (CP) titanium and various titanium alloys using an electron beam welding technique. The materials used were CP Ti, Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) and Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr (Ti5553). Grain boundary structures, mechanical properties, compositional profiles across the welds and fracture modes are presented. CP Ti has always been known for its excellent weldability, Ti64 has good weldability and, preliminary results indicated that Ti5553 alloy is also weldable.
