Powder interlayer bonding (PIB) is a novel joining technique. The technique has been developed to facilitate high integrity repairs of aerospace components, manufactured from titanium alloys commonly employed in the aerospace industry. The PIB technique utilises an interlayer between the two faying surfaces. In this study heating was supplied via induction, enabling a bond to be created in an inert atmosphere, shielding the fusion zone from oxidation during bonding. The PIB technique proved capable of producing high integrity bonds in additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V, where approximately 85% of the strength of the alloy is retained after bonding. Advantages of this technique over more established joining methods such as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding and plasma arc (PA) welding include a narrow fusion zone and localised heating. It is believed that PIB can compete against these more mature techniques, providing a technique suitable for joining a range of alloys found in the aerospace industry.

AbstractPowder interlayer bonding (PIB) is a novel joining technique, which has been developed to facilitate high-integrity repairs of aerospace components, manufactured from commonly used titanium alloys. The PIB technique utilises an interlayer between complex geometric components which are mated under pressure and a highly localised heating source. In this study, induction heating enabled bonding in an inert fusion zone by use of an oxygen-displacing shielding gas, with particular attention to the initial heating and pressure application. These early stages proved crucial to the elimination of pores and consolidation of the alloy powder, with porosity volume fraction reduced to just 0.5% after just 20 sec at the bonding force. The technique has produced high-integrity bonds in alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V, retaining approximately 90% of the alloy strength in previous studies, offering advantages over established joining methods such as tungsten inert gas (TIG) and plasma arc (PA) welding due to a more highly localised heating and fusion zone. It is believed that powder interlayer bonding can compete against these techniques, providing a more time and cost-effective repair route for net shape components manufactured from a range of alloys with minimal post-processing.

A key design consideration for material selection in the aerospace industry is weight reduction; with excellent strength to weight ratio, high temperature resistance, and fatigue performance, titanium alloys are extensively used. New titanium alloys continue to enhance performance and broaden the range of applications. Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) recently developed TIMETAL® 575 (Ti575), a high strength titanium alloy with superior fatigue performance over Ti-6Al-4V, aimed at aerospace applications where these properties are imperative i.e. aerospace turbine discs and blades. [1] [2] This work intends to advance the understanding of the effect of thermal processing of Ti575, by investigating the effect of primary alpha (αp) volume fraction and cooling rate on tensile and fatigue performance in post forged heat-treated microstructures. Microstructural assessment and mechanical performance were completed and are discussed. Three cooling methods from three solution heat-treat temperatures were investigated in this work. The results from these experiments were compared using optical microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), room temperature tensile and high cycle fatigue (HCF) tests.
