摘要

目的实现薄板TA15钛合金的高质量焊接并满足其在航天环境下的服役要求。方法采用激光填丝焊接技术对TA15钛合金薄板进行对接焊接,系统研究不同焊接角度对焊缝成形、微观组织及力学性能的影响。结果不同焊接角度下接头表面形貌相似,而底部宽度随焊接角度的增大呈先增后减的趋势,在60°时整体宽度最大,呈“X”形结构。随着焊接角度的增大,气孔率显著降低,气孔主要分布于焊缝底部,以冶金气孔为主。微观组织分析结果表明,60°焊接接头中出现大量马氏体集束,其余角度则以网篮状马氏体为主。热影响区组织均由块状α相、残余β相和针状马氏体组成,与平焊接头相似。所有接头的大角度晶界比例均超过92%。拉伸性能分析结果表明,各焊接接头的抗拉强度均高于母材强度,其中60°焊接接头抗拉强度最高,达1 121 MPa,断后伸长率为55%~64%。拉伸变形主要集中于硬度最低区域,断裂位置位于热影响区。结论激光填丝焊接工艺参数对TA15钛合金接头性能具有显著影响,可为航空航天领域钛合金焊接提供参考。

Abstract

The work aims to achieve high-quality welding of thin TA15 titanium alloy plates and meet their service performance requirements in aerospace environment. Butt joints of thin TA15 titanium alloy plates were prepared with laser wire filling welding technology and the effects of welding angles on the forming quality, microstructure and mechanical properties of the weld were investigated systematically. The results showed that the surface morphology of the joints was similar across different welding angles. While the bottom width of the joints increased and then decreased with the increasing welding angle, reaching a maximum overall width at 60° with an "X"-shaped cross-section. Additionally, as the welding angle increased, the porosity significantly decreased, with pores mainly concentrated at the bottom of the weld and dominated by metallurgical pores. Microstructural analysis revealed that a large number of martensite packets were observed in the joint welded at 60°, while basket-weave martensite was predominant in joints at other angles. The heat-affected zone consisted of massive α phase, residual β phase, and acicular martensite, similar to that in flat-welded joints. The proportion of high-angle grain boundaries in all joints exceeded 92%. Tensile tests showed that the tensile strength of all welded joints exceeded that of the base metal, with the joint welded at 60° exhibiting the highest strength of 1 121 MPa and an elongation at break ranging from 55% to 64%. The tensile deformation occurred in the region with the lowest hardness, and fracture consistently took place in the heat-affected zone. This study demonstrates that the laser wire filling welding parameters significantly affect the properties of TA15 titanium alloy joints, providing valuable insights for titanium alloy welding in aerospace applications.
