EXPERIENCE IN PRODUCING WELDED JOINTS OF CHROMIUM-NICKEL STEELS AND TITANIUM ALLOYS: A REVIEW

The article provides an overview of scientific and technical literature data on the problem of obtaining permanent joints of chromium-nickel steels and titanium alloys. The results of scientific studies of the effect of the welding method on the structure and properties of joints are analyzed. The prospects of using laser welding for forming welded joints, the strength of which is at the level of titanium alloys, are substantiated. A comparative analysis of the use of intermediate inserts in laser welding of chromium-nickel steels and titanium alloys is given. Technological methods of laser welding are considered, allowing regulating the structure formation of the material of welded seams and their strength.
