The microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V joints by hollow cathode vacuum arc welding with different gas flow rate was studied, and the tensile properties were investigated. The results show that the microstructure of base metal was mixture of α phase β phase. The microstructure of heat affected zone are equiaxed and primary α and needle martensite α′ dispersed in the transformed β. Two kinds of tissues distribution depends on the heat-affected area affected by the welding thermal cycle.The microstructure of welding seam consists mainly of α′ martensite phase. Reduce welding gas flow rate and increase welding energy density, resulting in coarsening and more scattered distribution of martensitic grains. The tensile strength of welded joint is higher than that of base metal.
