Abstract

The β-titanium alloy, TIMETAL 21S, was welded by the Friction Stir Welding process. Good weldability was demonstrated for a range of welding parameters. Microhardness mapping indicates slight weld overmatching for the conditions studied. Transverse tensile properties for one welding condition were measured and found to be similar to the base metal properties. The microstructure of the weld zone was investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and by orientation imaging microscopy. Grain refinement was observed under all welding conditions and a post-weld torsion texture was found in all welds.
