Interfacial microstructure...Hot roll bonding was carried out between commercially pure titanium TA2 and high-strength low-alloy steel Q390 using pure Nb or Mo interlayer at 950 ~C with a total reduction ratio of 86.7%. Interfacial microstructure and bonding properties of titanium clad steel plates were investigated by electron microscopy and mechanical tests. The results showed β-Ti, TiC and Fe2Ti reaction phases were generated at Ti/steel interface for the clad plates with no interlayer. Inserting Nb or Mo interlayer can effectively suppress the formation of brittle phases, while the weak bonding joint transferred to Nb/steel or Mo/steel interface. And some micro-voids were found at the interface of Nb/steel and Mo/steel. The improved shear strength of clad plates with Nb interlayer might be attributed to the elimination of brittle phases at bonding interface. The small size and little quantities of the micro-voids at Nb/steel interface had a relatively weak effect on shear strength. However, the large number and big size of micro-voids were responsible for the degradation of shear strength for the clad plates with Mo interlayer.展开更多

The comparative analysis of microstructure showed that the interface of double vertical explosive welding plate （B plate） tended to be straight while the interface of parallel explosive welding plate （A plate） was wavy bonding. Defects near the interface of B plate were extruded, and the thickness of the diffusion layer of B plate was thicker under the effects of preheating temperature and press-working. Comparative tests of mechanical properties indicated that the tensile shear strength of B plate was lower while its micro-hardness was higher. Specimens of these two types of plates were neither separated nor cracked after bending up to 180° in the three-point bending test. From the microstructural observation of tensile fracture characteristics, A plate had strong toughness fracture while B plate had mainly ductile fracture with cleavage fracture as the supplement. Macroscopically, the tensile strength of the latter was 7.9% less than that of the former. However, both satisfied the Chinese standard of tensile strength.展开更多

Finally, the market needs, application trends, and requirements of titanium clad steel plate were also considered from industries of petrochemical, shipbuilding, marine, and electric power.展开更多

Based on the production data of bearing steel produced by BOF, it is found that the titanium takes its source in bearing steel; the factors-affecting titanium content, and the thermodynamics behavior of titanium under smelting condition were studied. The results show that the prime reasons of titanium content increment are the soluble aluminum content and the titanium oxide of slag. The comparison between the experimental data and theoretical ones shows that there is a big declination when the soluble aluminum content of steel is higher, which is caused by the nonequilibrium reaction of slag and steel. The apparent equilibrium distribution coefficient of titanium between slag and steel is Obtained by use of experimental data.展开更多

At 800 and 850 °C, the bimetal can flow uniformly, while at 900 °C, the TA2 flows faster than Q235 B, and the phenomenon of TA2 wrapping Q235 B is observed. The metal flow of the bimetal material will coordinate each other through the bonding interface. It is noted that the stress increases with the increase of the ε and l and decreases when the metal flows along the contact area.展开更多

In this paper, Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni amorphous filler was redesigned and optimized by using orthogonal experiment to obtain three easy-to-use Zr-Ti-Ni-Cu amorphous fillers with low melting points and good plasticity. The fast cooling equipment was used to fabricate the brazing filler foils to implement the braze welding of TA2 and Q235 with high frequency inductance. The results indicate that all the brazing foils are amorphous structure with lower melting temperature, for example, Zr52Ti22Ni18Cu8 filler’s is 538°C. The technical parameters in brazing welding are: welding temperature T = 800°C;heating electric current I =25 A;heating time t = 15 s and holding time t = 15 s, in the case of these conditions, the jointing head shear strength of TA2/Zr52Ti24Ni13Cu11/Q235 is 139 MPa. Fracture is mainly located in the brazing seam. The white brittle intermetallic TiFe, TiFe2 and enhancement TiC spread in the center zone of brazing seam.展开更多
