Optimisation of Diffusion Bonding Parameters of Ti Alloys through the Structure and Surface Conditions

Diffusion bonding of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy in the coarse grained and ultrafine grained state was performed. The effect of initial structure and surface condition, as well as temperature and time, on the quality of joints was established. It is shown that, due to low-temperature superplasticity and high diffusion rate, samples with ultrafine grained structure demonstrate better bondability than coarse grained samples
