TI  - The Joining Behavior of Titanium and Q235 Steel Joined by Cold Metal Transfer 
      Joining Technology.

AB  - Cold metal transfer process is applied to join titanium and Q235 steel with 
      copper filler metal. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive 
      spectrometer (EDS) analysis, micro-hardness tests, and tensile strength test were 
      performed to investigate the joining mechanism and strength of joints. The 
      results show that the stacking order of two base metals affected the joining 
      modes and strength. For top Q235 steel to bottom Ti-TA2 lapped joint, there was 
      no distinct interface reaction layer between the steel base metal and the weld 
      metal; dispersed TiFe(2) intermetalics (IMCs) IMCs between the steel base metal 
      and the Ti base metal greatly improved the strength of joint; the tensile force 
      of the joint could reach up to 93% that of steel-steel joint using the same 
      welding parameters. Additionally, the joints were fractured in dimple mode at the 
      steel base metal. For top Ti-TA2 to bottom Q235 steel lapped joint, the 
      increasing volume fraction of Ti-Cu IMCs at the Ti-Cu weld metal interface 
      contributed to the strength of joint degradation. The joints under tensile 
      loading are initiated at the Ti-Cu weld metal interface between the weld metal 
      and Ti base metal, then propagated to weld metal, finally fractured with brittle 
      mode.
