TA17板材与增材制造TC4负压激光焊接头微观组织与力学性能研究

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Negative Pressure Laser Welded Joints between TA17 Plate and Additively Manufactured TC4

  • 摘要: 本研究针对钛合金增材制造与传统板材结合的工程需求,探讨了1 kPa负压环境下激光功率对锻造TA17板材与增材制造TC4异种钛合金接头微观组织及力学性能的影响。实验选取1500 W、2500 W和3500 W三种激光功率进行对接焊接,并系统表征了接头的宏观形貌、物相组成、显微硬度及室温拉伸性能。结果表明,所有接头均由α-Ti相组成,未发现有害氧化物或新相。随着激光功率的提高,焊缝熔深与热影响区宽度显著增加,显微硬度梯度过渡趋于平缓。力学性能测试显示,接头强度受限于较弱的TA17侧,呈现“短板效应”。其中,1500 W功率下获得的接头综合性能最优,抗拉强度达到760 MPa,断后伸长率为9%,实现了强度与塑性的最佳匹配。该研究为异种工艺钛合金结构件的高质量连接提供了工艺依据。

     

    Abstract: Addressing the engineering demands for integrating additively manufactured titanium alloys with traditional plates, this study investigates the effects of laser power on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of dissimilar titanium alloy joints between TA17 plates and additively manufactured TC4 under a 1 kPa negative pressure environment. Three laser power levels—1500 W, 2500 W, and 3500 W—were selected for butt welding. The macroscopic morphology, phase composition, microhardness, and room-temperature tensile properties of the joints were systematically characterized. The results indicate that all joints consist primarily of the α-Ti phase, with no harmful oxides or new phases detected. As the laser power increases, the weld penetration depth and the width of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) increase significantly, while the microhardness gradient transitions more gradually. Mechanical testing reveals that the joint strength is constrained by the weaker TA17 side, exhibiting a "weakest link" effect. Among the three welding samples, the joints welded at 1500 W demonstrate the optimal comprehensive performance, achieving an ultimate tensile strength of 760 MPa and an elongation of 9%, thereby realizing the best balance between strength and ductility. This research provides a solid process foundation for the high-quality joining of titanium alloy structural components fabricated via different manufacturing processes.
