This paper describes the technological process of manufacturing bimetallic billets, which are capable of operating at high pressures, high temperatures, and in corrosive environments, from VT-14 titanium alloy and 12KH18N10T stainless steel. To obtain a joint with a strength of at least 350 MPa, the diffusion welding method was used, which makes it possible to obtain equal-strength joints using dissimilar materials. The connection of VT-14 titanium alloy with 12KH18N10T stainless steel after obtaining bimetallic billets with the desired properties was investigated. We studied the welded VT-14 and 12KH18N10T joint obtained by diffusion welding through intermediate spacers of niobium Nb (NbStrip-1) and copper Cu (M1). On the basis of our investigations, the optimum welding modes are as follows: welding temperature: 1137 K; welding pressure: 18 MPa; welding time: 1200 s. Mechanical tests, tightness tests, and metallographic, factographic, and micro-X-ray structural studies were carried out, the results of which indicate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
