Abstract
In this work, electron beam was used for butt brazing of austenitic stainless steel with grade 2 titanium. Due to its low solidus temperature and high silver content, AWS BAg-21 filler containing Ag, Cu, Sn and Ni was selected. The joints were brazed with a defocused oscillating beam using offset. The resulting brazed joints were subjected to static tensile testing, light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis and hardness tests. By using appropriate parameters it was possible to reduce the phenomenon of diffusion of titanium atoms into the joint, which improved the properties of the obtained joints. The maximum tensile strength obtained was 244.2 MPa.
