Abstract
Butt welding of titanium alloy TA15 to aluminum alloy Al2024 dissimilar lightweight metals was conducted using gas tungsten arc welding. Pulsed current was adopted in the welding process. Influence of pulsed current on morphologies and microstructure of Ti-Al intermetallics near the Ti/Al interface was investigated. Microstructure characteristics and phase constitution of weld zone near the Ti/Al interface were analyzed. In top surface and upper region of the joint, Ti base metal was partially melted, and continuous intermetallic layers with Ti3Al, TiAl, and TiAl3 were formed in the fusion zone. In middle and bottom regions of the joint, Ti base metal was not melted and a thin TiAl3 layer was formed near the Ti/Al-brazed interface. Most of the Ti-Al intermetallics formed into discrete TiAl3 precipitations in the weld metal in upper and middle regions of the joint. No precipitation was observed in bottom region of the joint. Thickness of continuous Ti-Al intermetallic layers in the fusion zone was controlled at a low degree by adopting pulsed current in the welding. Crack sensitivity of weld zone near the Ti/Al interface was decreased.
