Direct friction welding of TiAl alloy to 40Cr steel rods was conducted, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the resultant joints in as-welded and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) states were investigated. The martensitic transformation occurred and brittle TiC phase formed near the interface due to C agglomeration, which degraded the joint strength and increased the microhardness at...
