Abstract
In order to provide reference for the gas forming of Ti-22Al-25Nb alloy tube blanks with a laser beam welded joint, microstructure and tensile deformation behavior of the alloy with a joint were investigated using uniaxial tensile tests at 990°C, with a tensile speed of 0.016mm/s. Both of the samples with a longitudinal joint and a transverse joint were applied in the tensile tests. The longitudinal joint samples showed a better high temperature deformability than the transverse joint ones, which partly attributed to the decrease of α2-phase grains along the β/B2-phase grain boundaries and more dynamic recovery and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization in the longitudinal joint. These results indicated that the laser welded joint could experience a large deformation at a proper temperature and strain rate, which was a potential method for the preparation of tube blanks for gas forming components.
