Laser Welding of 6Al-4V Titanium Alloy. Final Report

摘要

Gas laser welding of 6A1-4V titanium alloy was tested. The 6A1-4V-Ti welds were compared with gas tungsten arc and electron beam weld for porosity, ductility, and contamination. Results show that laser welding is suitable for 6A1-4V titanium alloy and that sound welds can be made over a wide range of welding conditions. (ERA citation 10:028010)
