The article considers the strength of adhesive joints of specimens made of OT-4 titanium alloys, the surface of which has been treated with laser radiation. The paper presents the results of the dependence of the macro- and microgeometry of the obtained surface, chemical composition, wetting angle and adhesion strength of adhesive joints under shear on laser processing modes. The purpose of this work is to determine the optimal parameters of laser processing for obtaining high strength adhesive joints. The results obtained can be used for gluing spacecraft structural elements. The studies were carried out on the adhesive pair «Titan – Titan». Depending on the processing mode, characteristic surface textures were identified, which were combined into groups «B», «K» and «C». High-energy modes of laser surface treatment of samples before gluing lead to a significant increase in the strength characteristics of the adhesive joint (up to 70 %) due to an increase in the area of the gluing surface and mechanical locking of the adhesive in the microrelief of the texture of the samples. In addition, the use of this method, in comparison with mechanical and chemical methods, significantly increases the productivity of surface treatment.
Microarc oxidation of alloys is widely used to obtain multifunctional coatings with unique properties. One of the topical issues in the application of the microarc oxidation is to increase the corrosion resistance of titanium alloys. In this article, the corrosion resistance of various microarc oxidation coatings of a titanium alloy in chemically aggressive liquids is determined. Comparative analysis of microarc oxidation coatings chemical resistance of the titanium alloy OT-4 showed a high coating resistance to the corrosive liquid exposure. The highest corrosion coefficient was determined when the alloy was exposed to concentrated sulphuric and hydrochloric acids. Virtually no corrosion of microarc oxidation coatings was observed in dilute acids (H2SO4 and HCl) and NaOH alkali solution.
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.
