Abstract

The structure and mechanical properties of the titanium alloy VT6 joint diffusion welded in vacuum at 820°C using an ultrafine-grained interlayer made of alloy VT22 in are studied after annealing at 900°C for 2 h. The heating-induced activation of diffusion processes is found to halve the number of micropores in the weld zone and to increase the tensile strength of the welded joint from 975 to 1108 MPa. The impact toughness of this joint after heat treatment corresponds to the initial impact toughness of the VT6 alloy.
