Abstract (en)
A process for enhancing the bond strength of resistance welded joints between titanium alloy articles includes a first step of resistance welding two titanium alloy articles and a second step of heat treating the resistance welded titanium alloy articles in a vacuum or inert environment at temperatures in a range of 1675 DEG F to 1825 DEG F for a period of 15 minutes to 4 hours. The process of the present invention is particularly useful in providing efficient joining of face sheets to a honeycomb core element.
