Friction welding of TiAI intermetallics and structural steel by applying Inconel 718 as interlayer

Inconel 718 with thickness ranged from 0. 1 - 1.7 mm was chosen as interlayer to promote weldability in friction welding of TiAl intermetallics and structural steel such as AIS14140, in which the welded joint presents single fin showing less welding deformation on TiAl side. The correlations between tensile strength and the interlayer thickness were analyzed and fitted to a model. It indicates an optimum interlayer thickness ranged from 0.9 - 1.1 mm where the tensile strength reaches as high as 360 MPa. Otherwise, while the interlayer thickness decreases to 0. 1 mm, brittle compounds of TiC, Al2Ti4C2 and MTC3 are formed in the welded zone so that the tensile strength decays. Thicker interlayer should be also avoided as double joints may occur at TiAl -lnconel 718 and lnconel 718 -AISI 4140, respectively, which lowers the tensile strength to some extent.

准静态加载下时效态Inconel 718薄板的各向异性屈服准则及硬化模型构建

当金属件的特征尺寸缩小到微尺度时,会产生尺寸效应,从而使对微成形的理解变得复杂。本文以0.1mm厚的时效态Inconel 718薄板为研究对象,对其进行了力学性能测试。基于力学测试数据,探究了时效态Inconel 718薄板在相同应变速率、不同拉伸方向上各向异性、延伸率、屈服强度及最大抗拉强度的变化规律,并建立了介微观尺度下各向异性及屈服强度的预测模型和考虑应变量及应变速率的准静态硬化模型。结果表明：时效态Inconel 718薄板具有明显的各向异性,其延伸率以45°为极值点呈现先增大后减小的变化规律,屈服强度和最大抗拉强度的变化规律与之相反。由于尺寸效应的存在需要两组不同的材料参数对各向异性及屈服强度进行预测。当应变速率大于0.1 s_^-1时,材料屈服强度表现出明显的应变速率敏感性,该硬化模型不再适用。

Improvement of joint strength in dissimilar friction welding of Ti-6Al-4V alloy to type-718 nickel-based alloy using the Au–Ni interlayer

ABSTRACT

An Au–Ni interlayer was used to improve the joint strength between the Ti-6Al-4V alloy friction welded to the 718 Ni-based alloy. The interlayer was melted and ejected at the interface of the joint during friction welding, showing that frictional heat played a role in brazing of the interlayer. The melted interlayer suppressed the formation of intermetallic compounds between titanium and nickel at the interface. The tensile strength of the joint significantly increased from 460?MPa for direct friction-welded joints, to 698?MPa when the interlayer was added. The mechanism underlying the strength improvement of the friction-welded joint was the unique phenomenon of a combination of brazing of the interlayer and diffusion of solutes in the base metal to the interlayer.     

Friction welding of pure titanium and pure nickel

Abstract

The joint tensile strength and metallurgical properties of a friction welded joint of commercially pure Ti and pure Ni has been investigated in as welded and post-weld heat treated conditions. While friction pressure did not significantly impinge on joint tensile strength, joint tensile strength was affected by friction time. A 1–1·5 μm thick interlayer is essential to join pure Ti and pure Ni using friction welding. A maximum joint tensile strength of 450 MPa was achieved and the joint fractured in the Ti original (not heat affected zone) substrate, i.e. the joint efficiency was approximately 112% relative to Ti substrate and 94·5% relative to Ni substrate. The joint tensile strength abruptly decreased as heating temperature was increased to 873 K and/or the Larson-Miller parameter was increased to approximately 19–20 × 10³. The joint tensile strength rapidly decreased with increasing interlayer thickness up to approximately 10 μm, and then remained constant for further increase in interlayer thickness. Four layers occurred at the interface of joints heated to more than 873 K, namely Ti₂Ni, TiNi, TiNi₂, TiNi₃. The fracture of heated joints propagated mainly in the Ti₂Ni layer and/or at the interface between the TiNi and TiNi₃ layers.

Effects of Insert Metal Type on Interfacial Microstructure During Dissimilar Joining of TiAl Alloy to SCM440 by Friction Welding

Although the welding zone of direct bonding between a TiAl alloy and SCM440 can be obtained by friction welding, martensitic transformation and the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and cracks result in a lower tensile strength of the joints relative to those of other welding techniques. Insert metals were used as a buffer layer to relieve stress while increasing the bond strength. In this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties on welded joints of a TiAl alloy and SCM440 with various insert metals, were investigated. The TiAl/Cu/SCM440 and TiAl/Ni/SCM440 joints were fabricated using a servo-motor-type friction welding machine. As a result, it was confirmed that the formation of a welding flash was dependent on the insert metal type, and the strength of the base metal. At the TiAl/Cu/SCM440 interface, the formation of IMCs CuTiAl and Cu₂TiAl was observed at TiAl/Cu, while no IMC formation was observed at Cu/SCM440. On the other hand, at the TiAl/Ni/SCM440 interface, several IMCs with more than 100 μm thickness were found, and roughly two compositions, viz., Ti₂NiAl₃ and TiNi₂Al, were observed at the TiAl/Ni interface. At the Ni/SCM440 interface, 10 μm-thick FeNi and others were found.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of the joint of 6061 aluminum alloy by plasma-MIG hybrid welding

Plasma-MIG (metal inert gas arc welding) hybrid welding of 6061 aluminum alloy with 6 mm thickness using ER5356 welding wire was carried out.The microstructures and mechanical properties of the welded joint were investigated by optical microscopy,X-ray diffraction (XRD),energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS),tensile test,hardness test and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to judge the type of tensile fracture.The results showed that the tensile strength of welded joint was 142 MPa which was 53.6％ of the strength of the base metal.The welding seam zone was characterized by dendritic structure.In the fusion zone,the columnar grains existed at one side of the welding seam.The fibrous organization was found in the base metal,and also in the heat affected zone (HAZ) where the recrystallization occurred.The HAZ was the weakest position of the welded joint due to the coarsening of Mg2Si phase.The type of tensile fracture was ductile fracture.     

Improving Joint Morphologies and Tensile Strength of Al/Mg Dissimilar Alloys Friction Stir Lap Welding by Changing Zn Interlayer Thickness

The pure Zn foils with different thicknesses(0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mm) were selected as interlayers to improve the quality of friction stir lap welding joint of 7075-T6 Al and AZ31 B Mg dissimilar alloys. The effects of the interlayer thickness on joint formation, microstructure and tensile strength were analyzed. The results displayed that the maximum length of the boundary between stir zone(SZ) and thermo-mechanically affected zone in lower plate was obtained by the addition of the Zn interlayer with 0.05 mm thickness. The Mg–Zn intermetallic compounds(IMCs) were discontinuously distributed in the SZ, replacing the continuous Al–Mg IMCs. The size of Mg–Zn IMCs increased with the increase in the thickness of the Zn interlayer. The maximum tensile shear strength of 276 N mm-1 was obtained by the addition of 0.05 mm Zn foil, which increased by 45.6% of that of the joint without the Zn foil addition.     

Development of autocompleting friction welding method

Abstract

This paper describes an autocompleting friction welding method that was carried out to weld with an insert piece set between fixed base metals. The base metal was low carbon steel, and the faying surface of the fixed specimen had a 10 mm diameter. The effect of the thickness of the insert piece (insert thickness) on the joining phenomena was investigated. When the insert thickness was 3˙2 mm and the friction welding conditions were a friction speed of 27˙5 s^–1 and friction pressure of 36 MPa, the insert piece had a shear fracture toward the circumferential direction in the peripheral portion of the weld interfaces by the initial peak produced during the friction process. The joint also had cracks at the adjacent region of the weld interfaces, although it had the same tensile strength as the base metal. On the other hand, the joint made using the insert piece with a groove on its peripheral portion had the same tensile strength as the base metal, where it fractured. This joint also had 90° bend ductility without cracks. In this case, the optimum insert thickness was 4˙0 mm, and the thickness at the bottom of the grooves (groove bottom thickness) was 1˙2 mm with an 11 mm inner groove diameter, and the friction welding conditions were a friction speed of 27˙5 s^–1 and friction pressure of 36 MPa. In conclusion, a sound friction welded joint was made by an autocompleting friction welding method.     

Fatigue Behavior of Inconel 718 TIG Welds

Mechanical behavior of reference and TIG-welded Inconel 718 specimens was examined in the present work. Tensile, constant amplitude fatigue, and fracture toughness tests were performed in ambient temperature for both, reference and welded specimens. Microstructure revealed the presence of coarse and fine-grained heat-affected zones. It has been shown that without any post-weld heat treatment, welded specimens maintained their tensile strength properties while their ductility decreased by more than 40%. It was found that the welded specimens had lower fatigue life and this decrease was a function of the applied fatigue maximum stress. A 30% fatigue life decrease was noticed in the high cycle fatigue regime for the welded specimens while this decrease exceeded 50% in the low cycle fatigue regime. Cyclic stress-strain curves showed that Inconel 718 experiences a short period of hardening followed by softening for all fatigue lives. Cyclic fatigue response of welded specimens’ exhibited cyclically stable behavior. Finally, a marginal decrease was noticed in the Mode I fracture toughness of the welded specimens.
