Abstract
Mathematical model of thermal-deformation processes occurring in braze-welding of butt joints between titanium and aluminium was developed. Analysis of these processes was conducted within the frames of this model, and recommendations were worked out for optimisation of production of passenger aircraft seat tracks comprising dissimilar joints.
Keywords: mathematical modelling, braze-welding, titanium, aluminium, thermal deformation, residual stress-strain state
