Laser-assisted friction stir processing of IN738LC nickel-based superalloy: stir zone characteristics

Friction stir processing (FSP) of high softening-temperature materials such as nickel-based superalloys is considered to be difficult. Laser heating of a localised area ahead of the FSP tool was used to provide sufficient plasticity during the FSP of IN738LC nickel-based superalloy. The stir zone (SZ) microstructure of the friction stir processed and laser-assisted friction stir processed were characterised. Laser-assisted friction stir processing (LAFSP) produced a defect-free pass, but FSP resulted in generation of a discontinuity in the SZ. Both lower volume fraction of partially dissolved γ′ precipitates and coarser grain structure of SZ in LAFSP led to more ductility of the SZ material and elimination of the defects.     

Microstructure,texture and residual stress in a friction-stir-processed AZ31B magnesium alloy

Spatial variations of microstructure, hardness, chemical composition, tensile behavior, texture and residual stresses were investigated in a friction-stir-processed (FSP) AZ31B magnesium alloy. The residual stresses were measured using two different methods: neutron diffraction and the contour method. No significant variations in the hardness and chemical compositions were found in the FSP zones, including the severely deformed stir zone (SZ), which showed a finer grain size compared to the heat-affected zone and base material. On the other hand, significant changes in the tensile yield strength, texture, and residual stresses were observed in the FSP zones. The relationship between the texture variations and yield strength reduction; and its influence on the decrease in the residual stress near the SZ is discussed. Finally, the residual stresses measured by neutron diffraction and the contour method are compared and the effect of the texture on neutron diffraction residual stress measurements is discussed.     

Microstructural modification of cast Mg alloys by friction stir processing

Abstract

Cast Mg alloys were processed using friction stir processing (FSP) to acquire a fine grained structure and high strength. Actually, FSP is a novel grain refinement method for light metal alloys. Using FSP, a cast microstructure with coarse grain size was refined to equiaxial fine grain through dynamic recrystallisation; second phase particles were finely dispersed by FSP. Moreover, FSP is effective to eliminate cast defects such as microshrinkages or porosities. Commercial die cast Mg alloy (AZ91D) and high strength Mg–Y–Zn alloy plates were prepared for FSP. Heat input using a rotational tool during FSP closely affected the microstructure in the stirred zone. Actually, FSP with lower heat input produced a finer grain size and higher hardness. Changes in the friction stir processed microstructures affecting mechanical properties were not only grain refinement, but also second phase particle distributions. Results show that alloys with high hardness by FSP have finely dispersed second phase particles without dissolution during FSP.     

Microstructural Evolution and Local Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir Processed Mg-3Gd-1Zn Cast Alloy

Microstructural evolution, hardness, and shear strength of the cast plates of GZ31 magnesium alloy were investigated after friction stir processing (FSP). Due to severe plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization, FSP breaks the dendrites and results in a fine homogenous structure in the stirred zone (SZ) having average grain sizes of about 4.0 and 2.5 μm in the one and two-pass FSPed plates, respectively. As a novel approach, strength of the processed plates was examined by shear punch testing in three regions of the SZ on the surface layer, namely, center line (CL), retreating side (RS), and advancing side (AS). FSP showed great potential in the enhancement of SZ ultimate shear strength from 114 to about 152 and 155 MPa in the one and two-pass FSPed materials, respectively. The same trend was observed in hardness values of the SZ, where the average hardness of the base material increased from 41 to 60 and 68 Vickers after one and two passes of FSP, respectively. The variations in the shear strength of the CL, RS, and AS zones of the SZ were about 5% for the first pass of FSP, the effect which was decreased to less than 2% after two passes of FSP.     

退火工艺对搅拌摩擦加工镁合金微观组织和显微硬度的影响

采用搅拌摩擦加工(Friction stir processing,FSP)技术对AZ31镁合金进行加工,通过采取不同温度及保温时间的退火工艺,研究了FSP镁合金在退火过程中的微观组织演变过程及硬度变化规律。结果表明,FSP成功制备了细晶AZ31镁合金,其平均晶粒尺寸细化程度达54.9%。当退火温度在200～300 ℃时,加工区(SZ)晶粒尺寸较为稳定,且组织发生不同程度的均匀化和细化;当温度超过300 ℃时,加工区晶粒互相吞噬而快速长大。在退火温度较低、短时间保温时热影响区(HAZ)组织变化不明显,而延长保温时间或者升高温度,HAZ区组织会迅速细化、均匀化;当退火温度超过300 ℃时,再结晶会在短时间内完成,随后晶粒继续长大。在300 ℃下保温60 min为最优退火工艺,可使SZ、HAZ组织分别细化10.9%、35.6%。

The origin of non-uniform microstructure and its effects on the mechanical properties of a friction stir processed Al–Mg alloy

The microstructure of the stirred zone (SZ) resulting from friction stir processing or welding (FSP/FSW) has usually been assumed to be uniform when discussing the mechanical properties. However, numerous works have indicated that the fine-grained microstructures in the SZ were non-uniform, with precipitate, texture and grain size gradients caused by the severe plastic deformation and heat distribution. In this work commercial aluminum alloy 5083-H112 was subjected to FSP and fine-grained microstructures with an average grain sizes of 2.7–13.4 μm were obtained by controlling the FSP conditions. The stress–strain curves exhibited stepped yield point elongation, which was suggested to be associated with these characteristic non-uniform microstructures. Tensile tests indicated that the Hall–Petch relationship held in this FSP alloy when taking account of the average grain size. Toughness analysis indicated that the optimum toughness was anticipated to be obtained around a grain size of 1 μm for this FSP alloy.     

Improvement of Structural and Mechanical Properties of Al-1100 Alloy via Friction Stir Processing

In the present study, the relationship between structural and mechanical properties of friction stir processed Al-1100 alloy and process parameters (tool rotation rate: ω and traverse speed: ν) was studied to get an better understanding and optimizing the friction stir processing (FSP) condition of this alloy. Microstructural studies revealed that increasing of ω up to 720 rpm resulted in grain refinement in the stirred zone (SZ), but higher increasing of ω caused grain growth in this zone. These variations of SZ grain size illustrated that the prevailing factor that determined the SZ grain size was plastic deformation at first and thereafter, peak temperature in the SZ. Mechanical properties investigations were in accordance with microstructural findings and illustrated that optimized FSP condition for Al-1100 alloy was 720 rpm and 20 mm/min. Optimized FSP condition resulted in a significant improvement of tensile strength and elongation up to 22 and 8% of those of base metal, respectively.     

Microstructural characterisation of stir zone containing residual ferrite in friction stir welded 304 austenitic stainless steel

Abstract

Friction stir welding was applied to a 2 mm thick 304 austenitic stainless steel plate. The microstructural evolution and hardness distribution in the weld were investigated. The stir zone (SZ) and thermomechanically affected zone (TMAZ) showed dynamically recrystallised and recovered microstructures, respectively, which are typically observed in friction stir welds in aluminium alloys. The hardness of the SZ was higher than that of the base material and the maximum hardness was observed at the TMAZ. The higher hardness at the TMAZ was attributed to high densities of dislocations and subboundaries. Microstructural observations revealed that the ferrite was formed along grain boundaries of the austenite matrix in the advancing side of the SZ. It is suggested that the frictional heat due to stirring resulted in the phase transformation of austenite to ferrite and that upon rapid cooling the ferrite was retained in the SZ.

Effect of second-phase particle size and presence of vibration on AZ91/SiC surface composite layer produced by FSP

An improved method of friction stir processing (FSP) was introduced for the processing of AZ91 magnesium alloy specimens. This novel process was called “friction stir vibration processing (FSVP)”. FSP and FSVP were utilized to develop surface composites on the studied alloy while SiC nanoparticles were applied as second-phase particles. The effect of reinforcing SiC particles with different sizes (30 and 300 nm) on different characteristics of the composite surface was studied. The results indicated that the microstructure was refined and mechanical properties such as hardness, ductility, and strength were enhanced as FSVP was applied. Furthermore, it was concluded that the effect of reinforcing particles with a size of 30 nm on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the surface composite was more obvious than that of particles with a size of 300 nm. It was also found that mechanical properties and microstructure of FSV-processed specimens were improved as vibration frequency increased. The hardness value in the stir zone was about 157 MPa for the FSV-processed specimen at a vibration frequency of 50 Hz, while this value was around 116 MPa for the FSV-processed specimen at a vibration frequency of 25 Hz.

Fabrication of Al/Al2Cu in situ nanocomposite via friction stir processing

The aim of present work is fabrication of Al/Al₂Cu in situ nanocomposite by friction stir processing (FSP) as well as investigation of FPS parameters such as rotational speed, travel speed, number of FSP passes, and pin profile on the microstructure, chemical reaction, and microhardness of Al based nanocomposite. The Al₂Cu particles were formed rapidly due to mechanically activated effect of FSP as well as high heat generation due to Al-Cu exothermic reaction. The microstructure of the nanocomposites consisted of a finer grained aluminium matrix (～15 µm), unreacted Cu nanoparticles (～40 nm), and reinforcement nanoparticles of Al₂Cu. Irregular morphology of Al₂Cu is attributed to the local melting during FSP. Pin diameter has a higher effect on the microstructure and hardness values. The hardness measurements exhibited enhancement by 57% compared with the base metal.     

Influence of multipass high rotating speed friction stir processing on microstructure evolution,corrosion behavior and mechanical properties of stirred zone on AZ31 alloy

The influence of multipass high rotating speed friction stir processing (FSP) on the microstructure evolution, corrosion behavior, and tensile properties of the stirred zone (SZ) was investigated by EBSD, TEM, SEM, electrochemical workstation and electronic universal testing machine. The mean grain size of the SZ is significantly refined, and it increases with the increase of the processing pass. In addition to an obvious increase in the number, the distribution of β-Al₁₂Mg₁₇ precipitates also becomes more uniform and dispersed with increasing the processing pass. Compared with the as-received AZ31 alloy, the tensile properties of the SZ are hardly improved, but the corrosion resistances are significantly enhanced. The corrosion potential of the SZ prepared by 4-pass FSP is increased from −1.56 V for the unprocessed AZ31 alloy to −1.19 V, while the corrosion current is decreased from 1.55×10⁻⁴ to 5.47×10⁻⁵ A.

Evaluation of corrosion resistance of multipass friction stir processed AZ31 magnesium alloy

Multipass friction stir processing (FSP) is an effective method to produce a homogeneous microstructure and enhance the mechanical properties of magnesium (Mg) alloys. However, few studies have concentrated on the variation of corrosion resistance of Mg alloys during multipass FSP. Electrochemical alternating current (AC) impedance, polarization behavior, hydrogen evolution, and corrosion morphology were used to investigate the effects of subsequent passes on the corrosion resistance of FSP AZ31 plates. A quasi‐in‐situ observation of the growth of corrosion products was carried out to further study the corrosion behaviors of FSP AZ31 alloy. It is found that subsequent passes could further reduce the grain size of FSP AZ31 alloy and result in an increase in the hardness compared with the first pass. Moreover, subsequent passes are beneficial to the improvement in the corrosion resistance of AZ31 alloy. Pitting corrosion occurs in FSP AZ31 plates, which has not changed after subsequent passes.     

Effect of SiC particles on microstructure and mechanical property of friction stir processed AA6061-T4

Friction stir processing of AA6061-T4 alloy with SiC particles was successfully carried out.SiC particles were uniformly dispersed into an AA6061-T4 matrix.Also SiC particles promoted the grain refinement of the AA6061-T4 matrix by FSP.The mean grain size of the stir zone (SZ) with the SiC particles was obviously smaller than that of the stir zone without the SiC particles.The microhardness of the SZ with the SiC particles reached about HV80 due to the grain refinement and the distribution of the SiC particles.
