A diffusion welding method for improving TiAl 45XD and GH4169 by incorporating a Ti foil as an intermediate layer
This study demonstrates that incorporating a Ti foil as an intermediate layer successfully joins TiAl45XD and GH4169 alloys, revealing a four-layer microstructure where shear fractures predominantly initiate in diffusion layers II and III due to the mechanical property disparities between phases like hard γ-Ni and soft Ti₃Al.
