Effect of post-weld heat treatment on joint properties of dissimilar friction stir welded 2024-T4 and 7075-T6 aluminum alloys

The effect of post-weld heat treatment on dissimilar friction stir welded AA7075 and AA2024 joints was studied. After welding in constant parameters, solution heat treatment and various aging treatments were given to the welded joints. Microstructural and phase characterizations were done using optical microscope, SEM, FE-SEM, XRD and EDS techniques. Finally, mechanical properties of post-weld heat treated joints were evaluated and compared with as-welded joints. Results show that both 2024-T6 and 7075-T6 post-weld heat treatment procedures considerably improve the mechanical strength of the welded joint, with higher strength obtained for the 7075-T6 procedure, in comparison with the as-welded joint. This is explained by the formation of fine precipitates during the aging process, despite the abnormal grain growth. Fracture occurs at the interface between thermo-mechanical affected zone (TMAZ) and heat affected zone (HAZ) on the retreating side (AA7075) of as-welded joint, while by applying post-weld heat treatment fracture location shifts towards the stir zone (SZ) of the welded joint. Also, for post-weld heat treated samples, fracture surface is predominantly inter-granular, while in as-weld joint, fracture surface is mostly trans-granular. This is explained by dissolution and coarsening of precipitates within grains in post-weld heat treated joints.

Research on Laser Welding of Mg-Rare Earth Alloy Mg-3Nd-0.2Zn-0.4Zr

The welding process of Mg-rare earth alloy Mg-3Nd-0.2Zn-0.4Zr (NZ30K) was studied using 15 kW high-power CO₂ laser, the microstructure and performance of the typical welded joints had been analyzed and tested. There is no softening zone according to the microhardness test of the welded joint. The microstructure of the fusion zone consists of α-Mg-phase and β-phase (Mg₁₂Nd).The results show that Mg-rare earth alloy NZ30K can be well joined with the high power laser and the welded joint has good performance.     

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir-Welded Mg-2Nd-0.3Zn-0.4Zr Magnesium Alloy

A 2 mm thick Mg-2Nd-0.3Zn-0.4Zr (NZ20K) and AZ31 plates were friction stir welded. The microstructures of joint were compared and the tensile properties at room temperature and 200 °C were measured. The fracture features and the microhardness of joints were investigated. The effect of the strengthening phases in NZ20K joint was discussed compared with AZ31 joint. The results indicate that NZ20K shows better property especially at high-temperature environment. The grain of NZ20K in the nugget zone (NZ) is refined obviously with uniform distribution of strengthening phase particles and it shows clear boundary between NZ and thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ). The grains of TMAZ are elongated because of the stir action of tool pin. The heat-affected zone is narrow with coarse grains. Mg₁₂Nd is the main strengthening phase in NZ20K joint through XRD analysis. The ultimate tensile strength of NZ20K joint decreases a little from room temperature to 200 °C for its main strengthening phase particle-Mg₁₂Nd being stable when the temperature goes up. On the contrast, the ultimate tensile strength of AZ31 joint decreases a lot at 200 °C for its strengthening phase soften or dissolve at high temperature. The hardness of NZ20K joint is higher than AZ31 joint and the lowest hardness of both joints is achieved on the advancing side where the fracture occurred.     

Study of microstructural evolution of friction taper plug welded joints of C–Mn steels

Abstract

This paper describes the microstructural evolution of friction taper plug welded joints of C–Mn steels. Experimental and numerical analyses included calculations based on Calphad and continuous cooling transformation curves, and characterisation techniques. The studied friction taper plug welded joint contains three macroregions: plug material, thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and base material. The thermomechanical conditions imposed in the studied friction taper plug welded joint precluded the formation of a heat affected zone. However, seven subregions were identified within the TMAZ region and details are discussed. The interface zone is found in the TMAZ region, where the most relevant phase transformations take place. It is suggested that the phase transformations in TMAZ region depend on local conditions, such as chemical composition, deformation rate, thermal history and the previous thermomechanical history of the parent materials.     

Effects of Heat Input on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Laser-Welded Mg-Rare Earth Alloy

The effects of heat input on the quality of laser-welded Mg-rare earth alloy NZ30K were studied. Using a 15-kW high-power CO₂ laser, the microstructure and mechanical properties of welded joints under different heat inputs had been analyzed and tested. It is found that the welding heat input plays an important role in laser welding of NZ30K. Good welded joint without macroscopic defects can be obtained using the proper heat input. With the increasing heat input, welding penetration gets deeper, the width of the heat-affected-zone becomes larger, and the distribution of precipitates changes concentration. Tensile tests display that the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the welded joint tends to increase at first with the increasing heat input. After the welded joint gets full penetration, the UTS remains almost the same, although the heat input is increased.
