Abstract

The titanium alloy TA10 and the carbon steel Q245R are welded by explosive welding, and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is carried out for the TA10–Q245R composite plate. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite plate are investigated both in as-welded (AW) condition and after PWHT, respectively. Results show that, in AW condition, the bonding interface of composite plate presents wavy morphology, and at both sides of the interface plastic deformation is generated to a certain degree. Near the interface interdiffusion zone of alloying elements exists, and no Fe-Ti intermetallic compound is produced at the interface. SEM images indicate that the tensile fracture of composite plate presents the characteristic of ductile fracture, and no defects such as gas pores or impurities are found on the surface of shear fracture. After PWHT, the interfacial microstructure of the composite plate is obviously changed. Compared with the mechanical properties of the composite plate in AW condition, both tensile strength and shear strength of the composite plate are decreased to a certain extent after PWHT. With various factors into consideration, the suitable heat treatment procedure of TA10–Q245R composite plate is determined as follows: 550 °C × 1.5 h.
