Abstract
AbstractIn this chapter, two different methods for repairing titanium components are presented. These include patch repair and additive repair using metal inert gas welding and wire-and-arc additive manufacturing. The use of inoculant and flux to affect the weld zone is discussed for both repair methods. Using the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, it is shown that both flux and inoculant can be used to improve the mechanical properties of the overall joint. In addition, local atmospheric nitriding is presented, which is a method to locally harden the surface of titanium components. Surface hardness of more than 800 HV1 were achieved.
