Abstract
Analysis of key problems arising in braze-welding of dissimilar joints of titanium and aluminium has been performed. Regularities of the processes determining the performance of dissimilar structures are shown. Recommendations on optimization of technological processes are given, which allow producing sound titanium-aluminium braze-welded components.
Keywords: braze-welding, titanium, aluminium, welded joints, intermetallic phases, constitutional diagrams, optimization of the joining process
