It was established that it is possible to weld titanium alloys using a flow of dispersed melt. In this case the welded joint possesses mechanical properties at the level of appropriate properties of joints made by fusion welding. It is shown that this method of joining can be applied for enlargement of titanium ingots. After deformation of welded ingots the structure and properties of weld metal do not differ from similar characteristics of the rolled ingot.
Keywords: dispersed melt, welded joint, titanium alloys, enlargement of ingots, rapid crystallization, electron beam installation, prospects
