Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of bimetallic structures “titanium-steel” by electron beam freeform fabrication with the use of niobium and copper interlayers. A metallographic study of the deposited interlayers is carried out. The hardness distribution over the samples is shown. Technological issues according to deposition of niobium on titanium and steel on copper are pointed out. Tensile testing results reveal that the obtained structures have an ultimate tensile strength of 150–228 MPa and the fracture is located at the niobium-copper alloy side or at the niobium interlayer. The need to reduce the titanium content in niobium due to the occurrence of intergranular penetration of copper is demonstrated.
