INVESTIGATION OF SPOT WELDING CHARACTERISTICS OF TITANIUM ALLOYS TI-5AL-5ZR-5SN, TI-7AL-12ZR AND TI-8AL-1MO-1V,
Abstract
A study of the resistance welding characteristics of titanium alloys Ti-5Al-5Zr-5Sn, Ti-7Al-12Zr and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V are reported. Optimum weld schedules were developed for three gage thicknesses of each alloy through a systematic variation of welding parameters. No difficulty was encountered in resistance welding these alloys. Each alloy could be spot welded using a wide range of machine settings without encountering internal weld quality problems. Data are presented on the room and elevated temperature strength of spot welded joints for each thickness of each alloy. Data is also presented on the thermal stability characteristics and the fatigue strength of spot welded joints in each alloy. (Author)
