Welding Properties of Titanium Alloys Grade 5
Titanium alloys have attractive properties that have been widely used in various fields due to these properties. The biocompatibility of titanium has caused its usages in the pharmaceutical industry. Its good corrosion resistance has resulted in its many applications in petrochemical and marine industries. Meanwhile, the most important and major application of titanium and its alloys can be found in the aerospace industry in a variety of spacecraft, space rockets, and satellites. The most important reason for the widespread use of these alloys in the aerospace industry is the high ratio of strength to their weights. However, the most important factor limiting the usage of titanium and its alloys is its high price. In this chapter, we first introduced titanium and its alloys. Then, according to mainstream of the design, titanium alloy bonding methods and welding problems have been investigated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the processes of arc welding of tungsten electrode-neutral gas with different alloy heat inputs for a titanium alloy of Ti-6Al-4 V and to provide comprehensive welding instructions. So, after introducing the pure commercial titanium properties, we examined the properties, specifications and welding of Ti-6Al-4 V. Given the focus on the mentioned process, the generalities of this welding process have been described.
