Weld solidification structures in aluminum alloys and other materials have been studied by several investigators. In results
reported to date, the welds were symmetrical about their center lines. While studying solidification structures of Gas-Tungsten
Arc (GTA) welds in 7004 aluminum alloy sheet, however, some asymmetrical welds were produced.

The mechanisms of grain refinement have been examined for magnetically stirred gas tungsten arc (GTA) welds completely penetrating
thin sheets of several aluminum alloys. Grain refinement in unstirred welds may be brought about by adding sufficient titanium
to produce heterogeneous nucleation by Ti-rich particles. In some alloys magnetic stirring is shown to extend the range of
welding conditions which produce a partially equiaxed structure, and to widen the equiaxed fraction of partially equiaxed
welds. This is attributed to magnetic stirring lowering the temperature gradient, allowing nucleation and growth of Al-rich
grains further ahead of the columnar interface growing in from the fusion boundaries. In alloys with low Ti levels, magnetic
stirring may cause refinement by sweeping grains from the partially molten zone ahead of the advancing solidification interface.
This mechanism requires that the partially molten zone be sufficiently wide, and that the grain size in this zone remain small. 相似文献

The effect of arc oscillation on grain structure and solidification cracking in GTA welds of 5052 aluminum alloy was investigated
using a four-pole magnetic arc oscillator and a modified fish-bone crack test. Two different mechanisms of crack reduction
were identified: one in the low frequency range of arc oscillation and the other in the high frequency range. The former was
the alteration of the orientation of columnar grains, while the latter was grain refining. Neither mechanism was operative
in the intermediate frequency range and solidification cracking was severe, especially when the amplitude of arc oscillation
was small. Alteration of grain orientation was obtained in welds made with transverse and circular arc oscillations, but not
longitudinal arc oscillation. Grain refining, on the other hand, was achieved in welds made with all three types of arc oscillation
patterns. The differences between the response of alloy 5052 to arc oscillation and that of alloy 2014 observed previously
were discussed. 相似文献

The local microstructure in the heat-affected zone 1 (HAZ1) of a laser beam-welded Al-Mg-Si-Cu aluminum alloy is investigated
closely. Dispersoid-free zones (DFZs), where the dispersoids of the base material (BM) are dissolved, are found in the vicinity
of the fusion line (FL). They are not uniformly surrounding a grain, but oriented toward the FL. Their width can be as large
as 10 μm. Detailed analysis has revealed a decreased silicon concentration as well as a decreased hardness of the oriented dispersoid-free
zones (ODFZs). Two mechanisms for the formation of this welding metallurgical feature are discussed. 相似文献

Grain structures in gas tungsten-arc welds of austenitic stainless steels with ferrite primary phase
The grain structures were investigated in full penetration gas tungsten-arc (GTA) welds in sheets of 304 and 321 austenitic
stainless steels for a range of welding conditions. In type 321 steel welds, fine equiaxed ferrite dendrites were observed
in the ferrite phase. The equiaxed structure was ascribed to heterogeneous nucleation of ferrite on Ti-rich cuboidal inclusions
present in this steel, since these inclusions were observed at the origin of equiaxed dendrites. In type 304 welds, the ferrite
grains were columnar, except in less complete penetration specimens, where a few coarse equiaxed dendrites appeared to originate
from the weld surface. The secondary austenitic grain structure was columnar in both steels. In type 304 steel, the columnar
austenitic grain structure did not necessarily correspond to the primary ferrite grains. In type 321 steel, the secondary
austenite was columnar despite the equiaxed structure of the primary ferrite. Factors which affect the columnar-to-equiaxed
transition (CET) are discussed. The failure to form equiaxed austenitic grains in type 321 steel is ascribed to austenite
growing across the space between ferrite grains instead of renucleating on the primary equiaxed ferrite. 相似文献

A two-dimensional mathematical model was developed to calculate the thermal history in thin tantalum sheets, GTA welded with
arc oscillations. The model, based on the finite difference solution of the unsteady heat flow equation, was employed to calculate
the temperature distribution for several arc oscillation conditions. The obtained results were used to explain experimentally
observed improved microstructures in the fusion zone achieved by welding with arc oscillations. Indications are given for
using the mathematical model in choosing the optimum arc oscillation conditions required for improving the microstructure
of the weld.

Al-LaB6 alloy was successfully prepared by aluminum melt reaction method.Microstructure analysis of this alloy was carried out by field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM),Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).It was found that cubic LaB6 particles were highly dispersed in aluminum matrix with a uniform edge length of about 4.5 μm.Grain refining potency of LaB6 on commercial pure aluminum was also investigated.It was shown that LaB6 could act as an effective and stable nucleation substrate for α-Al during solidification process,due to their crystallographic similarity.The coarse grains of commercial pure aluminum were obviously refined to small equiaxed ones by addition of 0.5% Al-5LaB6 alloy at 720℃. 相似文献

Load-controlled fatigue testing of the aluminum alloy AA 7150 has been conducted using four-point bending with an R ratio of +0.1 over a range of maximum stress levels from 60 to 120 pct of the 0.2 pct proof stress. The alloy, in the form
of 12.5-mm rolled plate, was investigated in underaged (UA), peak-aged (PA), and overaged (OA) conditions, corresponding to
a change in average precipitate sizes from 5 nm in the UA condition to 21 nm in the OA condition. Three orientations of the
plate were investigated. Orientation and aging condition influenced the degree of surface topographical development but not
fatigue life. Detailed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the fatigued surface indicated that deformation in all aging
conditions occurred by planar slip. Slip was generally restricted to a single slip system within each grain, and subgrain
boundaries offered little resistance to dislocation movement facilitating long slip line lengths (measured up to 310 μm) between
adjacent high-angle grain boundaries. Planar slip observed in the OA condition is attributed to shearing of large strengthening
precipitates, which is promoted by long slip line lengths. No evidence of surface specific changes in slip character was observed. 相似文献

Over the past decade, friction stir welding (FSW) has rapidly become an important industrial joining process, particularly
in the aluminum industry. Included among the advantages of FSW are such important attributes as improved weld strength and
the elimination of cracking and porosity. During the friction stir process, the metal undergoes a tortuous deformation path
that is not yet fully understood. The crystallographic texture that evolves during FSW contains sharp spatial gradients that
undoubtedly influence the integrity of the weld and surrounding region in subsequent performance. The locally measured textures
are discussed in the context of the material flow required to produce such textures, ultimately resulting in an estimate of
the flow field present during FSW. 相似文献

A theoretical and experimental study of heat flow and solidification during the autogenous GTA welding of aluminum plates
was carried out. The theoretical part of the study involves the development of a computer model which describes three-dimensional
heat flow during welding. The model, though valid for any plate thickness, is particularly useful for moderately thick plates
since both full- and partial-penetration welds can be considered. The experimental part of the study, on the other hand, involves
the measurement of the thermal response of the workpiece during welding, and the examination of the configuration, grain structure,
and subgrain structure of the fusion zone. The experimental results were compared with the calculated ones and the agreement
was very good. With the help of the computer model, the effects of welding parameters on weld penetration in moderately thick
plates were discussed. These parameters are the heat input per unit length of the weld, the thickness of the workpiece, the
preheating of the workpiece, and the power-density distribution of the heat source.

An investigation of serrated flow in 6061 aluminum alloy at room temperature has been made using photoelastic coatings with
emphasis on two basic types of serrations. This has shown that Type A serrations are associated with Lüders bands that travel
(in an ideal case) the length of the gage section under an increasing load. Secondary serrations in this type of deformation
are due to disturbances in the propagation of the Lüders front. The rising load during propagation of the Type A Lüders bands
is associated with a change in the gage section strain gradient that occurs at the end of “homogeneous” deformation. Type
B serrations involve bands that move only during the load drop. The effect of machine stiffness on the deformation accomplished
by Type B bands is also considered.

A comprehensive methodology that takes into account solidification, shrinkage-driven interdendritic fluid flow, hydrogen precipitation,
and porosity evolution has been developed for the prediction of the microporosity fraction and distribution in aluminum alloy
castings. The approach may be used to determine the extent of gas and shrinkage porosity, i.e., the resultant microporosity which occurs due to gas precipitation and that which occurs when solidification shrinkage cannot
be compensated for by the interdendritic fluid flow. A solution algorithm in which the local pressure and microporosity are
coupled is presented, and details of the implementation methodology are provided. The models are implemented in a computational
framework consistent with that of commonly used algorithms for fluid dynamics, allowing a straightforward incorporation into
existing commercial software. The results show that the effect of microporosity on the interdendritic fluid flow cannot be
neglected. The predictions of porosity profiles are validated by comparison with independent experimental measurements by
other researchers on aluminum A356 alloy test castings designed to capture a variety of solidification conditions. The numerical
results reproduce the characteristic microporosity profiles observed in the experimental results and also agree quantitatively
with the experimentally measured porosity levels. The approach provides an enhanced capability for the design of structural
castings. 相似文献

A thermomechanical process for grain refinement in precipitation hardening aluminum alloys is reported. The process includes
severe overaging, deformation, and recrystallization steps. Microstructural studies by optical and transmission electron microscopy
of grain refinement in 7075 aluminum have revealed that precipitates formed during the overaging step create preferential
nucleation sites for recrystallizing grains. The relationship between precipitate density following severe overaging and recrystallized
grain density has been investigated; the results show that the localized deformation zones associated with particles larger
than about 0.75 μ m can act at preferential nucleation sites for recrystallizing grains. The density of particles capable
of producing nucleation sites for new grains is approximately ten times greater than the density of recrystallized grains.
A close relationship between dislocation cell size after the deformation step and recrystallized grain density has also been
established. Both quantities saturate for rolling reductions larger than approximately 85 pct. The grain size produced in
2.5 mm thick sheet by the optimum processing schedule is approximately 10 μm in longitudinal and long transverse directions
and 6 μm in the short transverse direction. 相似文献

The effect of alloy composition on hydrogen activity was measured for seven titanium alloys as a means to determine the tendency
for hydrogen migration within dissimilar metal welds. The alloys were: Ti-CP, Ti-3A1-2.5V, Ti-3Al-2.5V-3Zr, Ti-3Al-2Nb-lTa,
Ti-6A1, Ti-6A1-4V, and Ti-6Al-2Nb-lTa-0.8Mo. Hydrogen pressure-hydrogen concentration relationships were determined for temperatures
from 600 ‡C to 800 ‡C and hydrogen concentrations up to approximately 3.5 at. pct (750 wppm). Fusion welds were made between
Ti-CP and Ti-CP and between Ti-CP and Ti-6A1-4V to observe directly the hydrogen redistribution in similar and dissimilar
metal couples. Hydrogen activity was found to be significantly affected by alloying elements, particularly Al in solid solution.
At a constant Al content and temperature, an increase in the volume fraction ofΒ reduced the activity of hydrogen in α-@#@ Β alloys. Activity was also found to be strongly affected by temperature. The effect of temperature differences on hydrogen
activity was much greater than the effects resulting from alloy composition differences at a given temperature. Thus, hydrogen
redistribution should be expected within similar metal couples subjected to extreme temperature gradients, such as those peculiar
to fusion welding. Significant hydrogen redistribution in dissimilar alloy weldments also can be expected for many of the
compositions in this study. Hydride formation stemming from these driving forces was observed in the dissimilar couple fusion
welds. In addition, a basis for estimating hydrogen migration in titanium welds, based on hydrogen activity data, is described. 相似文献

The effect of low- and high-temperature water with high hydrogen on the fracture toughness of alloy 690 and its weld, EN52,
was characterized using elastic-plastic J
IC
methodology. While both materials display excellent fracture resistance in air and elevated-temperature (>93 °C) water, a
dramatic degradation in toughness is observed in 54 °C water. The loss of toughness is associated with a hydrogen-induced
intergranular cracking mechanism, where hydrogen is picked up from the water. Comparison of the cracking behavior in low-temperature
water with that for hydrogen-precharged specimens tested in air indicates that the critical local hydrogen content required
to cause low-temperature embrittlement is on the order of 120 to 160 ppm. Loading-rate studies show that cracking resistance
is improved at rates above ∼ 1000 MPa √m/h, because there is insufficient time to produce grain-boundary embrittlement. Electron
fractographic examinations were performed to correlate cracking behavior with microstructural features and operative fracture
mechanisms. 相似文献
