Ti-6Al-4V alloy was welded by conventional tungsten iner-gas arc welding (TIG) and ultra-sonic frequency pulse TIG welding (U-TIG) respectively. The welding quality was tested by X-ray, and the mechanical properties of welded joint were tested , the microstructure and the fracture appearance of welded joint were observed by means of optical microscope and SEM .The results show that the joints were welded successfully by U-TIG welding, U-TIG welding could reduced pores defects of welded joint. With the increment of ultra-sonic pulse frequency, the microstructure became more and more fine and was inclined to equiaxed crystal. Moreover, the properties of joint by U-TIG welding were improved compared with that of conventional TIG. Tensile fractures of joints by TIG welding and U-TIG welding all presented character of quasi-cleavage crack, but the cellular dendrite depredation was not observed obviously in U-TIG joint.展开更多
