Milling the initial powder accelerates phase formation during the early stages of heating, contributing to an anisotropic fine-grained microstructure that retains the shape and size of the milled powder particles. Molybdenum micro-additives inhibit diffusion processes during high-temperature deformation, while segregation along boundaries and the distribution of ultra-fine complex oxide particles, formed in situ during mechanical activation and thermomechanical processing, enhance the dispersed strengthening mechanism. Optimizing the thermomechanical processing regimes further strengthens these structural factors. After forging at 1100°C, molybdenum-doped alloys exhibit higher low-temperature strength but show reduced fracture toughness and a tendency to delaminate. Subsequent annealing at 1300°C corrects these defects, though increasing the grain size and second-phase particles. The optimal structure and mechanical properties are achieved by triple forging at 1200°C, under conditions near dynamic recrystallization, and demonstrate a high room-temperature strength of 1600–1900 MPa.

To mitigate the occurrence of such defects, explosive welding experiments were conducted on titanium and aluminum plates by varying the welding parameters. The experimental results reveal that the explosive welding interface of Ti/Al exhibits a regular corrugated shape, which tends to flatten due to aluminum’s low melting point and strength. Notably, when the welding parameters do not exceed collision velocity <span>(V_{p} le 839;{text{m/s}})</span> collision angle <span>(beta le 17.24^circ )</span>, there are no discernible vortex holes at the interface, and the melting zone remains small. The melting zone at the interfaces of different welding parameters contains various intermetallic compounds. Although the shear strength of the titanium–aluminum welding interface surpasses that of aluminum, it is unstable due to the influence of titanium content and the presence of crack holes.
