Notes:
Superplastic forming and diffusion bonding (SPF/DB) processes have been growingmature and titanium SPF/DB components have found wide application in aerospace industry. Withthe development of industrial SPF/DB technology, the size of SPF/DB components become biggerand bigger, and the shapes of components become more complex. However, the component sizes arelimited by equipments, dies and the size of sheet. SPF/DB combined with welding technologies couldbe one of the possible solutions to form larger and more integrated structures due to many advantagescompared with conventional process. This paper studied the combination processing of SPF and otherwelding methods besides diffusion bonding, such as electron beam welding and laser beam welding,and explained the experiments performed in different processes, including SPF after welding plateand welding plate after SPF. The results show that the material exhibits both reasonable formabilityand excellent mechanical properties. Application samples such as covers were manufactured by thecombination processing. Furthermore, prospects of the combining technology were discussed at theend of paper
