Tensile and creep properties of diffusion bonded titanium alloy IMI 834 to gamma titanium aluminide IHI alloy 01A
- Volvo Aero Corp., Trollhaettan (Sweden)
Diffusion bonding of the Ti-alloy Ti-5.8Al-4.0Sn-3.5Zr-0.7Nb-0.5Mo-0.35Se-0.06C (wt%) to the intermetallic {gamma}-based alloy Ti-33Al-2Fe-1.8V-0.1B (wt%) using hot isostatic pressing at 900 C, 200 MPa held for 1 h was studied. Sound joints without any pores or cracks with a width of approximately 5--7 {micro}m could be produced. Tensile testing showed that the strengths of the joints are similar to the strength of the {gamma}-TiAl base material at temperatures between room temperature and 600 C. The fracture occurs either at the joint or in the {gamma}-TiAl material. The fracture initiation process is a competition between initiation in the {gamma}-TiAl base material and initiation at the {gamma}-TiAl/diffusion bond interface. Creep testing showed that most of the creep elongation occurs in the Ti-alloy, but failure is initiated in the joint bond line. Creep causes degradation and pore formation in this line. Interlinkage of these pores creates a crack which grows slowly until the fracture toughness of the {gamma}-TiAl is exceeded and the crack starts to propagate in the {gamma}-TiAl material and terminates creep life.
