Diffusion bonding of Ti-6Al-4V by pulse current heating and hot-pressing

【摘要】 <正>Pulse current heating (PCH) was used to join Ti-6Al-4V alloy at two cases of with die and without die. Hot-pressing (HP) method was used to provide a comparison between the two methods. Microstructures near the contacting surfaces were observed in optical microscope. Temperature distribution was analyzed. After joining, the tensile properties of the samples were evaluated. Experimental results show that grains and phases grow transversely on contacting surfaces, which makes two parts into a whole with a certain of tensile strength. PCH joining is a different temperature joining method. The highest temperature is located at the interface. The comparison of tensile strengths of samples joined by the two methods indicates that joining temperature and holding time needed by PCH are lower and less than those needed for HP.更多还原
