The object of this study was the weld material of a new Ti-6.1Al-6.0Zr-6.3Sn-3.2Mo-1.1Nb-1.2Si alloy, which was obtained by electron beam welding.
Electron beam welding (EBW) provides rapid melting and cooling with crystallization under significant temperature gradients. For the pseudo α-titanium alloy, this leads to the appearance of significant residual stresses in the joint and determines the specificity of the dispersion decay of the β-phase. Residual stresses are reduced by preliminary heating, removed by heat treatment. Such processing exerts a critical influence on the formation of the structure and phase composition of the weld and the zone of thermal influence of the electron beam; it can form macro defects, undesirable phases, and structural states.
The conditions of heat treatment have been determined to bring the welded joint from complex alloyed pseudo α-titanium alloy to the required level of mechanical characteristics. The structure, phase morphology, elemental composition, and mechanical characteristics of welded joints without additional heat treatment have been compared, with preliminary local heating of 400 °C, with additional post-weld local annealing at ТТ=750 °С, tT=4 minutes and sequential annealing in the furnace at ТТ=850 °C, tT=60 minutes. It has been established that a full cycle of heat treatment of a welded joint provides the highest characteristics of strength and plasticity, but local heat treatment also makes it possible to obtain a defect-free joint with satisfactory characteristics for less responsible products. It is shown how heat treatment of pseudo α-titanium alloy makes it possible to get rid of unwanted phase formations (Zr,Ti)5Si3Al and transform them into (Zr,Ti,Nb,Mo)3SiAl.
The results are promising for use in the production of aircraft engine parts
