Abstract
The macro- and microstructure and microhardness of welded joints of titanium alloy VT5 are investigated. Fracture surfaces are studied and fractional analysis of hydrogen in cast metals is performed. Suggestions are put forward as to the causes and mechanisms of formation of cracks in a weld joint of a forging and a casting from alloy VT5. Places of crack initiation and subcritical growth are determined.
