INVESTIGATION OF HEAT TREATMENT AND WELDING CHARACTERISTICS OF B120 VCA TITANIUM ALLOY SHEET. PART II

Abstract

THE STUDY OF THE HEAT TREATMENT AND WELDABILITY OF B120 VCA titanium-base sheet alloy was continued. Work was directed primarily toward understanding the behavior of the weld metal; the mechanical properties, specifically the ductility, of the weld metal have been inferior to those of the base metal after high-strength-level heat treatments, with the fabrication procedures investigated. Optimum parameters for mechanical disturbance of the freezing weld puddle are being developed. Two methods of mechanical disturbance received attention: electromagnetic stirring and mechanical vibration. (Author)
