Abstract
Butt brazing of titanium alloys with stainless steel by MIG-TIG double-sided arc welding (DSAW) process with copper filler metal has been performed. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the joint were investigated. The results show that a butt brazing joint with sound double-sided appearance was achieved. With low heat input of brazing mode and rapid cooling rate of arc welding process, the joint is free of brittle Ti-Fe intermetallic compounds (IMCs). The phase compositions in the joint are TC4/Ti2Cu+TiCu/TiCu+Ti5Si3/Cu+(Ti5Si3+Cu+βTiCu4)/Fe5Si3+(Cu)+FeSi/Fe(s,s)/304ss orderly from Ti6Al4V to 304ss. The average tensile strength of the butt joint reaches 278MPa. Compared with the fusion welding joint, the tensile strength of the arc-brazing joint is significantly increased because of the elimination of Ti-Fe IMCs.
