A. Wisbey et al., THE EFFECT OF INTERLAYER CHEMISTRY ON THE DIFFUSION BONDING OF COBALT-BASE WEAR-RESISTANT SURFACES ON TITANIUM-ALLOY, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 208(1), 1996, pp. 93-100
The possibility of cladding titanium with conventional wear-resistant
alloy layers by diffusion bonding has been investigated. These layers
would exhibit the wear characteristics of the bulk material while reta
ining the advantages of titanium alloys. The diffusion bonding of a we
ar-resistant cobalt-base alloy (Stellite HS6) to Ti-6Al-4V alloy is de
scribed. Various interlayers have been used to aid bonding. The micros
tructure, shear and tensile strengths of these joints are reported and
the role of interlayer chemistry is discussed.
