Abstract
Ultrafine-grained (UFG) samples of PT-3V pseudo-α titanium alloy were subjected to diffusion welding through spark plasma sintering. It has been shown that the destruction of welded UFG samples under hot salt corrosion (HSC) is two-staged: first, intercrystalline corrosion (ICC) is manifested, which then graduates to pitting corrosion. It has been established that the corrosion resistance of the weld joints is determined by the concentration of vanadium at the grain boundaries, the size and volume ratio of the β-phase particles, and the presence of pores in the weld joints. It has been shown that welded UFG samples possess a higher hardness and resistance to ICC than coarse-grained samples.
