Abstract

Thin-wall titanium welded pipe has important applications in the fields of new energy vehicles, aerospace, and heat exchangers, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance after high-frequency induction welding are rarely studied. To improve the comprehensive performance of thin-walled titanium welded pipe, a heat process and the performance optimization mechanism were studied in this paper. In addition, we systematically explored the influence of heat treatment conditions on the microstructure, mechanical performance, and dissolution behavior of the welded pipe through various methods, including tensile tests, immersion tests, and electrochemical tests. The results indicated that heat treatment primarily regulates the quantity and distribution of martensitic phases, acicular structures, and serrated structures in the welded joints, thereby impacting the mechanical performance of the welded pipe. By following high-temperature annealing at 800 °C for 0.5 h, with a heating rate of 5 °C/min, the acicular and serrated structures in the welded joints completely disappeared, forming an annealed equiaxed structure consistent with the base material. Subsequent furnace cooling reduced internal thermal stresses within the grains, resulting in relatively smooth grain boundaries, reduced small-sized grains, and a more uniform distribution of grain sizes, ultimately eliminating the residual stresses. Consequently, the welded pipe exhibited outstanding comprehensive performance, including ultimate tensile strength, Vickers hardness, and fracture elongation of 439.2 MPa, 178.3 HV, and 18 %, respectively. Notably, under room temperature, after immersion in a 3.5 % sodium chloride solution for 28 days, there was no significant change in the sample's mass. Therefore, the properties of thin-walled titanium welded pipe can be improved by annealing process, and it provides strong support and reliable evidence for its application in related fields.

期刊介绍: Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials. The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal. The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include: Metals & Alloys Ceramics Nanomaterials Biomedical materials Optical materials Composites Natural Materials.
