Abstract
The fabrication of a Ti-6Al-4V/Ni-Ti heterogeneous structure encounters significant challenges, primarily owing to the formation of brittle TiNi intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the interface, inducing stress concentration and reducing the interfacial joining strength. To address this issue, the present study employs the wire-arc directed energy deposition technology and introduces a CuNi interlayer to optimize the interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties. The results indicate that the CuNi interlayer effectively suppresses the formation of brittle TiNi IMCs and promotes the formation of TiCu and Ti-Ni-Cu phases, thus enhancing the interfacial strength. The microhardness of the interlayer attains a value of 570 HV0.2, while the as-built wall achieves an average ultimate tensile strength of 279.9 ± 15 MPa and a strain of 5.6 % ± 2 %. The developed strategy is effective for the interfacial optimization of heterogeneous structures and has significant potential for applications in the aerospace industry.
