THE PRODUCTION AND WELDING OF HEAVY TI-13V-11CR-3A1 TITANIUM ALLOY PLATE
Abstract
Forty units of 2x8x30-in. Ti-13V-11Cr-3Al plate were shipped. Four welds were completed. Three of these welds were made with Ti-13V-11Cr-3Al filler material, the f urth weld was made with Ti-55A commercially pure fi ler. Crac ing of the welds due to restraint was a severe problem. Only one weld, made with Ti-13V-11Cr-3Al filler and a 500 F preheat, was completed without severe cracking. This weld is being prepared into various test specimens to evaluate t e mechanical prope ies of the weld zone. The parameters of welding 2-in Ti-alloy plate were investigated and are discussed.
