Bonded titanium-aluminum component for aircraft, e.g. seat rail, is formed by deep-welding process in aluminum, combined with diffusion process driven by heat flux toward titanium

摘要

A first region (2) is made of a titanium material, a second region (4) is made of aluminum. The two are materially-bonded together by a deep-welding process in the aluminum, in combination with a diffusion process toward the titanium material, which is driven by the heat flux. Heat is supplied by a de-focused laser beam or an electron beam, under a protective gas atmosphere. An independent claim is included for the corresponding method.
