The paper presents the results of the X-ray diffraction analysis of structural-phase states in the weld zone of a titanium alloy Grade2 in micro-and submicrocrystalline states. It is established that the structural-phase state in the weld zone and in the heat-affected zone depends on the state of samples of the alloy Grade2 before welding. It is shown that formation process of metastable phases ω-Ti and α′′-Ti occurs in the submicrocrystalline state in the alloy Grade2 in the weld zone and in the heat-affected zone. Investigations of the features of the microhardness distribution in the weld zone in alloys Grade2 in micro-and submicrocrystalline states are carried out. Different character of microhardness distributions in the weld zone in the samples depending on the structural-phase state of welded plates made of alloy Grade2 is determined.
The paper reports changes in strain fields on welded sample surfaces from commercial pure titanium, joined by both laser beam welding (LBW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) procedures, under uniaxial tensile loads. Their dynamics were investigated by the digital image correlation method using a ‘Vic-3D’ optical system. In addition, stress-strain curves were drawn in both σeng-εeng and σtrue-εtrue coordinates. It was shown that the laser welded sample was characterized by a higher ultimate tensile strength to yield point ratio than the as-received one. The GTAW sample fractured under much less stresses than the LBW one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
