SEAM WELDS WITH Ti-6Al-4V TITANIUM SHEET

Abstract

Seam welds were made by the electric resistance, roller welding practice in a variety of welding combinations comprised of 0.012 in. thick rigidized commercially pure, 0.025 in. thick commercially pure, and 0.025 in., 0.032 in. and 0.040 in. thick Ti 6Al-4V alloys. Tension testing revealed that in all cases, except that one in which 0.040 in. thick Ti 6Al-4V comprised the thinnest weld joint member, failures occurred in the parent metal; in the exception noted the failure took place in the heat affected zone adjacent to the weld. The efficiency of the weld joints was thus found to be 100%, except in the case of 0.040 in. thick Ti 6Al-4V where it was found to be 92%.
