Problems solved by technology

Burke et al. applied for "Method for laser beam welding metal matrix composite components" (patent No. US4803334). This method solves the problem of uniformity of composite material weld components by laser welding filler wire, but the welding joint strength of this process is not high. High, complicated process, unfavorable for technical problems required by engineering
[0007] In summary, the current welding research on titanium matrix composites is mostly focused on the solid-state non-melting welding process, and does not involve the post-weld heat treatment process of titanium matrix composites joints, and no report on the post-weld heat treatment process of titanium matrix composites laser welded joints has been found.
