Abstract
A welding wire formed of a trace boron titanium base alloy is provided, along with welds formed from the wire and articles comprising one or more of such welds. A method may include forming such a weld or welds from such a welding wire, and may also include non-destructively inspecting titanium alloy articles comprising one or more of such welds using ultrasonic waves to detect internal flaws.
Claims13
A method comprising the steps of:
- providing welding wire formed of a titanium base alloy and boron in a range of about 0.05 to 0.20 percent by weight;
- providing first and second titanium base alloy parts;
- and
- forming at least one weld from the welding wire between the first and second parts to secure the parts to one another.
