Structural sparsely-doped titanium alloys are developed with the purpose of lowering the finished product cost. Possibility of application of tungsten electrode argon-arc welding (AAW) for sparsely-doped pseudo-β-titanium alloy Ti–2.8Al–5.1Mo–4.9Fe was evaluated. Influence of different kinds of argon-arc welding on weld formation and mechanical properties of Ti–2,8Al–5,1Mo–4,9Fe alloy joints were assessed. The effect of complete penetration AAW, semi-submerged AAW AAW with feeding unalloyed titanium welding filler wire VT1-00sv was studied. It was found that the structure of metal of the weld and HAZ in welded joints of sparselydoped titanium alloy Ti–2.8Al–5.1Mo–4.9Fe made by AAW consists mainly of β-phase with precipitates of metastable α-phase. Lowering of AAW heat input for Ti–2.8Al–5.1Mo–4.9Fe alloy has a positive impact on the joint strength. So, among the welded joints made without changing the weld metal composition, the joints made by semi-submerged arc welding have the highest strength of 972 MPa and the highest impact toughness on the level of 5.7 J/cm2. 15 Ref., 3 Tabl., 3 Fig.
