Abstract: The strength of welding joint between titanium alloy TA17 and stainless steel 1Cr18Ni9Ti was investigated. Bonded joint was obtained by diffusion bonding at constant temperature and pressure, phase transformation superplastic diffusion bonding and diffusion bonding under pulsatile pressure. The strength of welding joint was tested and metallography of welding joint was observed. The results show that the strength of joints obtained by three diffusion welding are all up to 264 MPa and there are several different layers in the joint. Phase analysis shows that there exist brittle Fe2Ti and σ -(FeCr) in the titanium alloy-stainless steel joint. Diffusion bonding under pulsatile pressure is an ideal bonding method, which can accelerate diffusion, reduce the amount of intermetallic compound and improve its distribution.
