An Investigation of Diffusion Bonding for Ti–6AI–4V Titanium Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 February 2011
Abstract
Based on current theories of diffusion and creep cavity growth (or closure) at high temperatures, a physical analysis of diffusion bonding for the Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy is given. The diffusion bonding is mainly pictured as a two—stage process:
1. The shrinkage process of cavities with shape change from elliptical to cylindrical;
2. In the second stage, the radii of the cylindrical cavities arc reduced and eliminated.
In addition, according to experimental work and previous theoretical models of diffusion bonding, a new model has been established in this paper, which can be used to predict the effect of process variables, such as temperature, pressure, surface roughness and bonding time on the bonding degree for Ti–6Al–4V by using mechanisms of creep and diffusion.
