摘要
The Ti-6Al-4V sheet alloys were welded by using a common gas tungsten arc welding process. In this work, we study the correlation of corrosion resistance and oxide layer structure produced after commonly used industrial heat treatments. We also study the oxide scales that were formed as a result of the heat-related treatment/aging process. The results indicate that better corrosion resistance of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy weldment can be obtained and significantly improved by a solution treatment plus an artificial aging (ST+AA) treatment, owing to the enhanced intensity of TiO(2), V(2)O(5), and Al(2)O(3) oxides that compacted and grew on the surface of fusion zone. The newly found gamma-TiAl and alpha(2)-Ti(3)Al particles that nucleated in the fusion zone due to different heat treatments do affect the composition of the oxide layer. The possible mechanism for this oxide layer formation in the fusion zone is discussed.
