Abstract: This study introduces powder interlayer bonding (PIB) as a novel joining technique, for the high integrity repair of components, fashioned from two titanium alloys commonly employed in the aerospace industry. The PIB technique in this study utilised a metallic powder interlayer between the two faying surfaces. Heating was provided via induction to create a bond in an inert atmosphere. The PIB technique proved capable of producing high integrity bonds in both Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo. A reduction of less than 10% in strength is seen for bonds created with both alloys. The deficit seen in ductility for the alloys was deemed acceptable for the industrial applications considered.
