Welding Nickel Base Alloys
Abstract
Planning for re-entry and for supersonic cruise vehicles indicates that extensive use of high temperature resistant materials will be required in the foil and medium gages. The nickel-base alloys, due to their strength at high temperatures and oxidation resistance properties are candidate materials for theses applications. They are readily available in the desired gages. However, the fabrication of these materials for missile and space vehicle applications will require extensive fusion and resistance welding for fastening. Thus the object of this project was to develop welding parameters for joining nickel-base alloys in the thin gages by the gas tungsten are and resistance spot welding methods. Rene 41 and Hastelloy X alloys were selected because of their potential use and their current availability.
