基于CEL方法的Al/Mg搅拌摩擦焊温度场及材料混合流动研究

本文基于耦合欧拉-拉格朗日(CEL)方法建立5A06铝合金与AZ31B镁合金对接搅拌摩擦焊（FSW）的全热力耦合数值模型,并结合试验测试对Al/Mg异种金属FSW过程的温度场及材料混合流动特征进行研究。数值模拟所得特征点的温度循环曲线、焊缝表面形貌以及横截面上异种材料的混合分布状态均与试验结果吻合良好。在此基础上,采用质点追踪法对材料混合流动行为进行了深入分析。结果显示,高温区集中分布在轴肩下方区域,返回侧(Mg侧)温度较低温度梯度较大。焊缝区上表面材料熔合线偏向于前进侧(Al侧)。搅拌针附近材料流动剧烈,前进侧和返回侧的大部分材料都较均匀地沉积于搅拌针后方。前进侧与返回侧材料在水平和竖直方向上的交叉混合流动,最终形成了两种材料“咬合式”的界面特征。     

7075铝合金搅拌摩擦焊接头变形及失效行为

使用搅拌摩擦焊（FSW）设备对厚度为6mm的7075高强度铝合金平板进行对接试验。设计出双径试样,采用液压伺服试验机对7075铝合金搅拌摩擦焊接头进行拉伸试验,并借助奥林巴斯显微镜和扫描电镜观察接头的变形及失效过程。结果表明,7075铝合金搅拌摩擦焊接头在拉伸过程中出现双颈缩现象,颈缩首先在后退侧出现,随着加载的进行,前进侧也出现颈缩现象。微裂纹在接头中的前进侧和后退侧颈缩区内晶界处由微孔洞聚集产生。随着应变的增加,微孔洞数量明显增加,当应变足够大时,微孔洞连接形成微裂纹。微裂纹沿着与加载方向成45°向焊核区进行扩展,导致接头断裂,断裂位置位于接头中的焊核区,断裂方式为剪切断裂混合着微孔聚集型断裂。     

Microstructure evolution in refill friction stir spot weld of a dissimilar Al–Mg alloy to Zn-coated steel

In the present study, dissimilar welds of an Al–Mg–Mn alloy and a Zn-coated high-strength low-alloy steel were welded by refill friction stir spot welding. The maximum shear load recorded was approximately 7.8?kN, obtained from the weld produced with a 1600?rev min^?1 tool rotational speed. Microstructural analyses showed the formation of a solid–liquid structure of an Al solid solution in Mg–Al-rich Zn liquid, which gives rise to the formation of Zn-rich Al region and microfissuring in some regions during welding. Exposure of steel surface to Mg–Al-rich Zn liquid led to the formation of Fe₂Al₅ and Fe₄Al₁₃ intermetallics. The presence of defective Zn-rich Al regions and Fe–Al intermetallics at the faying surface affects the weld strength.

Residual stress measurement of Al/steel dissimilar friction stir weld

ABSTRACT

The dissimilar welds between aluminium (Al) alloy, A6061-T6, and stainless steel, type 304, were fabricated by a friction stir welding (FSW) technique. The FSW tool was offset to Al side and the probe was inserted only into Al plate. The softening occurred in Al side due to the heat input during FSW, while the hardness increased by the post-ageing treatment. Tensile strength of dissimilar weld also increased about 8.5% by the post-ageing. The residual stresses were measured based on the cos α method. The residual stresses parallel to the weld line, σ_xr, were predominantly tensile, while those perpendicular to the weld line, σ_yr, were compressive. Post-ageing treatment had little effect on the residual stresses.     

带状组织对铝/镁异种金属搅拌摩擦焊接头力学性能的影响

采用搅拌摩擦焊(FSW)对厚度为4 mm的6061铝合金与AZ31B镁合金进行不同工艺的平板对接试验. 采用光学显微镜(OM)、扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)及能谱仪(EDS)对接头进行微观组织观察,采用电子万能试验机对接头力学性能进行测试. 结果表明,在接头焊核区(WNZ)中存在着明显的带状组织,带状组织是由插入镁基体中的铝合金条以及弥散分布在条带上的金属间化合物(IMCs)组成;IMCs主要为Al₁₂Mg₁₇和Al₃Mg₂;铝/镁异种金属FSW接头裂纹形核和扩展均发生在带状组织内;焊接工艺影响带状组织形态和IMCs尺寸及数量;随着转速(n)的增加或焊接速度(v)的降低,带状组织呈弯曲状,长度相对较短且呈不连续分布;当转速(n)过高或焊接速度(v)过低时,带状组织变细,但IMCs数量增多且尺寸变大;铝/镁异种金属FSW接头强度主要取决于带状组织形态和IMCs尺寸及数量.     

Interface morphology and microstructure of high-power ultrasonic spot welded Mg/Al dissimilar joint

High-power ultrasonic welding technology, which has the excellent characteristics of low-energy input and high efficiency, can effectively shorten the welding time, reduce the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs), and improve the strength of Mg/Al dissimilar welded joints in the future manufacturing industry. Mg/Al dissimilar metal ultrasonic welded joints with favourable mechanical properties were obtained through reasonable selection of sonotrode patterns and optimisation of welding parameters. The connection mechanisms of joints were discussed based on the analysis of weld interface morphology, microstructure evolution, and the composition and distribution of Mg–Al IMCs that varied with welding energy. The mechanical interlocking phenomenon and discontinuously distributed Mg₁₇Al₁₂ with low thickness were observed at the weld interface, which helped to improve the joint performance.     

Non-destructive inspection for weld joint of steel structure

Friction stir welding (FSW) succeeded in producing high quality dissimilar welds with AA5083 and A6N01 by evaluation of the microstructure and the root bend testing. A6N01 with a wide optimum range of welding condition should be placed on the retreating side to weld a sound joint between AA5083 and A6N01. The optimum welding condition of FSW for the dissimilar alloys between AA5083 and A6N01 was wider than that of AA5083. In the opposite orientation, A6N01 on the advancing side can hardly flow into AA5083 on the retreating side in front of the tool. As the pores on inappropriate welding conditions were observed, large pores on a lower tool rotation speed were different from small discontinuous pores on a higher tool rotation speed.

Friction stir weld nugget temperature asymmetry

Abstract

Two different hardness distributions were observed to result from the friction stir welding of an Al–Mg–Si alloy using identical welding speeds but different heat inputs. In one case, the distribution was relatively symmetric about the weld centreline and in the other, the hardness declined continuously from the advancing to the retreating sides of the weld nugget. Based on in-probe temperature measurements, full-field grain size mapping, and response to post-weld heat treatment, it has been ascertained that under low heat input conditions, the weld nugget attained a higher temperature on the advancing side than on the retreating side. Such a temperature asymmetry has often been proposed and has been predicted by simulation but, has not been convincingly demonstrated before this time.

铝合金/镀锌钢板Nd:YAG激光+MIG电弧复合热源熔-钎焊接头的组织与性能(英文)

基于铝合金和镀锌钢在熔点上的差异,以ER4043(AlSi5)为填充材料,采用大光斑Nd:YAG激光+MIG电弧复合热源焊接工艺实现两者的熔-钎焊接,研究熔钎焊接头组织和性能。铝合金/镀锌钢板熔钎焊接头分为熔焊接头和钎焊缝两部分,熔焊缝组织由α(Al)等轴晶和晶界上短棒状的Al-Si共晶组织组成,焊趾处的富锌区为α-Al-Zn固溶体和Al-Zn共晶组织。钎焊缝为Fe-Al金属间化合物层,厚度为2~4μm,金属间化合物包括FeAl2、Fe2Al5和Fe4Al13,其中FeAl2和Fe2Al5位于近钢侧的紧密层,而Fe4Al13则呈舌状或锯齿状向熔焊缝内生长。接头抗拉强度随着焊接电流和激光功率的增大呈先增大后减小的趋势,最高可达247.3 MPa。拉伸断裂位置一般位于熔焊缝的熔合区,为以韧性断裂为主的混合断裂。接头内硬度的最大值位于钎焊缝处,然后分别沿着两侧钢板和铝合金熔焊缝逐步降低。     

Cold metal transfer welding–brazing of magnesium to pure copper

Magnesium alloy AZ31B and pure copper T2 were lapped and joined by cold metal transfer (CMT) welding–brazing method by AZ61A magnesium alloy wire with a 1·2 mm diameter. Results indicated that a satisfied Mg/Cu CMT welding–brazing joint was obtained in the stable welding processes with no spatter. The joint was composed of Mg–Mg welding joint formed between the Mg weld metal and the Mg base metal, and Mg–Cu brazing joint formed between the Mg weld metal and the local molten Cu base metal. The microstructure and the intermetallic compound (IMC) distribution were inspected and analysed in detail. The interfacial reaction layers of the brazing joint consisted of Mg₂Cu, Al₆Cu₄Mg₅, MgCu₂ and Mg₁₇Al₁₂ IMCs. The tensile shear strength of the Mg/Cu CMT welding–brazing joint could reach 172·5 N mm^?1. In addition, two different fracture modes were observed: at the fusion zone and at the brazing interface.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir lap welded Mg/Al joint assisted by stationary shoulder

Using magnesium alloy as upper sheet, 3 mm-thick AZ31 magnesium alloy and 6061 aluminum alloy were joined using friction stir lap welding assisted by stationary shoulder. The effects of tool rotating speed on cross-sections, microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg/Al lap joints were mainly discussed. Results showed that stationary shoulder contributed to joint formation, by which stir zones (SZ) were characterized by big onion rings after welding. Because of the big forging force exerted by stationary shoulder, the upper region of hook was well bonded. SZ showed much higher hardness because of intermetallic compounds (IMCs). The bonding conditions at the base material (BM)/SZ interface at advancing side and the hook region played important roles on joint lap shear properties. The X-ray diffraction pattern analysis revealed that the main IMCs were Al₃Mg₂ and Al₁₂Mg₁₇.     

Deformation analysis of a friction stir-welded thin sheet aluminum alloy joint

The deformation characteristics of a friction stir welded thin sheet aluminum alloy joint were analyzed via numerical simulations.The simulated results were compared with the experimental results obtained for the deformation of actual welded joints.The results revealed that the deformation of the joint was described by an asymmetric distribution with a large deformation region occurring mainly in the advancing side.This asymmetric deformation was mainly caused by the direct mechanical force applied by the welding tool to the workpiece.Furthermore,the deformation characteristics of the fixed points on both sides of the weld revealed that the deformation of the retreating side fluctuated significantly during the welding process.That is,the retreating side exhibited less welding stability than the advancing side.The stress distribution of the welded joint showed that a high stress region was formed at the end of the weld.In addition,the final stress distribution of the welded joint resulted mainly from the shear stress in the x-y direction.

采用搅拌摩擦搭接焊对铜合金与不锈钢异种金属进行焊接,得到外观良好、无内部缺陷的搭接接头. 利用金相、扫描电镜、能谱仪、X射线衍射及硬度计等研究了铜–钢搭接焊接头显微组织,分析了接头的物相成分,测试了接头的显微硬度. 结果表明,不锈钢与铜在焊合区形成了“洋葱环”结构,此结构在焊核区的前进侧较后退侧更为均匀;在接头的前进侧、后退侧和底部有明显的热力影响区;在条状结构中形成了新的金属间化合物NiCu₄,这使焊核区不锈钢–铜界面的硬度值明显增大;接头焊核区的硬度值明显高于基体,且焊核区前进侧的硬度值较后退侧更高.     

Joining of Al 6061 alloy to AISI 1018 steel by combined effects of fusion and solid state welding

The joining of a 6-mm thickness Al 6061 to AISI 1018 steel has been performed by the combined effects of fusion and solid state welding. The process is derived from friction stir welding (FSW) but with an adjustable offset of the probe location with respect to the butt line. Metallographic studies by optical microscopy, electron probe microscopy, and the utilization of the X-ray diffraction technique have been conducted. It was found that the intermetallic phases Al₁₃Fe₄ and Al₅Fe₂ exist in the weld zone. The tool was significantly worn during welding and is broken after traveling 100 mm at a rotational speed of 917 rpm. The wear of the tool significantly affects the structure of the weld, and the tool breakage was detected by the incorporated acoustic emission (AE) sensors. It appears that the joining of an Al 6061 alloy to AISI 1018 steel with a sound heterogeneous weld microstructure is feasible using this process, and the tool breakage can be detected by the AE sensing technique.

Microstructure and mechanical behaviour of cold metal transfer welded Mg/Al dissimilar joint using wire AZ31 as filler metal

Mg/Al dissimilar butt joint was produced by modified cold metal transfer process using wire AZ31 as filler metal. The energy input characteristics and the microstructure and mechanical behaviour of the joint were investigated. Microstructural analysis shows that a diffusion Mg–Al intermetallic compounds interface layer formed along the weld boundary near Al substrate. The interface layer consisted of three intermediate layers from Al substrate to weld metal: Mg₂Al₃ layer, Mg₁₇Al₁₂ layer and Mg₁₇Al₁₂?+?α-Mg solid solution eutectic layer. The tensile strength of the welded joint was 38.4?MPa, which was fairly dependent on the lowest strength of the three intermediate layers. The brittle fracture occurred primarily within the thinnest Mg₂Al₃ intermediate layer adjacent to Al substrate.
