Cracking of Ti2AlNb-based alloy after laser beam welding

Abstract

Crack formation process in the Ti-23Al-23Nb-1.4V-0.8Zr-0.4Mo-0.4Si (at.%) alloy based on orthorhombic titanium aluminide (Ti2AlNb), especially in the weld zone (WZ), heat-affected zone (HAZ), and base metal (BM), during laser beam welding (LBW) at room temperature was considered. It was determined that the crack spread in the WZ throughout the crystallites of β-phase. In the HAZ, cracks spread throughout the globular β-phase crystals body and along the edges of globular α2- and O-phases. The cracking stopped in BM due to a mechanism similar to shear ligament toughening. Cracking can be effectively suppressed by increasing the LBW temperature.
