Abstract

This paper reports on a study to compare the mechanical and deformation properties of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy joints between a pulsed fiber laser source and a tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. Ti6Al4V alloy sheets - 0.8 mm thick-deformation modifications were investigated via a 3D laser scanner integrated to a portable-arm Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) and PC-DMIS software. Deformation pattern, residual distortions, weld geometry, microstructure and microhardnes properties of the joints produced with fiber laser source and tungsten inert gas welding were compared. Compared with the TIG, the welded by fiber laser has narrow heat affected zone (HAZ), small overall residual distortion, fine microstructure, high Vickers hardness. It can be concluded that fiber laser welding is more suitable for welding the thin Ti6Al4V titanium alloy plate than TIG welding; due to the small beam focus characteristics of fiber lasers enabiling deep penetration welding.
