Brazing microstructure of Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn with Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni filler metal

Conference ·
OSTI ID:115520

Titanium and its alloys have been widely used in the aerospace industry since they have high specific strength and high corrosion resistance. The brazing of titanium is beneficial to join many contact areas simultaneously without severe distortion. The purpose of this study is to investigate the brazing microstructures under different brazing conditions with several Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni filler alloys. In our previous studies, the brazing microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V with Ti-Cu-Ni filler metal have been reported. Since Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn alloy has lower b-transus, the Ti-Cu-Ni filler alloy cannot successfully apply the brazing work. Several Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni alloys were prepared in powder form and pre-alloy form to perform the brazing of Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn at 870{degrees}C. The brazing microstructures are examined under optical metallograph, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray analysis. The contents of this report include (1) DTA and phase analysis of Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni filler metals, (2) the brazing microstructure, and (3) the shear test result.
