The results show that the formation of needle-like harmful phase Al4C3 is effectively prevented in the weld by in-situ weld-alloying/plasma arc welding with Ti-Al alloy sheet filler whose titanium content is more than 20%. The fluidity of molten pool is improved, and stable molten pool is gained for the addition of the Ti-Al alloy. The mechanical properties of welded joint are effectively enhanced by the compact-grain structure and the new reinforced composites such as Al3Ti, TiN, AlN and TiC welded joint. The test results of mechanical property show that the maximum tensile strength of welded joint gained by adding Ti-60Al alloy is up to 235 MPa. The factors influencing the tensile strength were also investigated.展开更多

The results show that the internal friction spectra of various heat treated samples exhibit the damping peak versus temperature between 130 ℃ and 200 ℃. Furthermore, the peak temperature as well as the peak height increases with increasing frequencies. By Arrhenius equation the active energy of the damping peak can be gotten, which is above 1 eV. On the other hand, different quenching treatments affect the damping peak remarkably, when the rate of cooling is above that of water quenching, the damping peak will shift to higher temperature as cooling speed is enhanced.展开更多
