Solid-state diffusion bonding in conjunction with superplastic forming
is a potential candidate for producing complex structural components
from gamma-based titanium aluminides for aerospace applications. Solid
-state diffusion bonding of TiAl was carried out with different bondin
g parameters within the superplastic temperature range. Defect-free so
und bonds were achieved within the temperature range of 925-1,100 degr
ees C and the pressure range of 20-40 MPa. Microtensile tests were car
ried out to evaluate room-temperature tensile properties of the bonds
for comparison of the bonding parameters.
