Abstract
The welded joints γ-TiAl (Ti-48 at.% Al) with alloy VT8 produced by diffusion welding in vacuum using nanolayered interlayers of Ti-Al system were investigated. The analysis of strength properties of a joint was carried out using microindention in the device «Micron-gamma» and also by mechanical shear tests. It was established that after diffusion welding in vacuum the initial nanolayered layer is transformed into intermetallic being in the state close to nanocrystalline one.
