Abstract

The article analyzes a number of works describing the current state of manufacturing products by pressure welding from various structural materials used in the aviation industry. Based on this analysis, the necessary preparation stages of welded blanks were formed to obtain the required weld quality. The level of properties and the structure of the resulting joints satisfactorily meet the requirements for both titanium and aluminum alloys, as well as heat-resistant nickel alloys.
