The Preparation and Properties of Dissimilar Joints between Ti-6Ta and 304L Stainless Steel

摘要

High integrity and corrosion resistant dissimilar joints between Ti-6Ta and 304L stainless steel are necessary. Fusion welding processes produce secondary precipitates which dissolve in nitric acid, and hence solid-state processes are proposed. In this work, Dissimilar joining processes of bra-zing and explosive welding available for producing Ti-6Ta /304L joints with corrosion resistance are highlighted. The possible methods and the microstructural-metallurgical properties of the joints along with corrosion results obtained with corrosion testing are discussed.
