Abstract
High strength dissimilar metal joints have been made between Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy and S526 stainless steel by pre-machining grooves in the steel surface and superplastically forming (SPF) the titanium-alloy into the grooves and diffusion bonding (DB). These monlithic joints with a corrugated bond interface failed in the steel at a load 2–7 times greater than the load for equivalent joints with planar interfaces. The strength and fracture behaviour of these joints is described.
