Friction stir welding of 6082 AA-T651 was performed using three different combinations of feed rates (90, 140 and 224 mm/min) and tool rotational speeds (850, 1070 and 1350 rpm). Mechanical properties of the weldments were evaluated by hardness measurements on the transverse section and tensile testing, while microstructure evaluation was done by optical microscopy and electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD). Irrespective to welding parameters the dynamically recrystallized grains in the stir zone were measured to be in the range of 2–3 μm for different feeds rates and rotational speeds. A considerable loss in hardness in the stir zone and more severely in the thermo-mechanically affected zone was noted due to dissolution of β′ and β″ second phase particles. A post weld heat treatment (PWHT) of 175 °C for 5 and 12 h was given to the weldments for all welding conditions and the mechanical properties and microstructure were re-evaluated. The hardness and strength were partially recovered and this was attributed to the possible re-precipitation of the β″ precipitates. The grain size barely exhibited a change, whereas the texture displayed a significant diminish in the Goss orientation after PWHT. 相似文献

In this investigation response surface methodology based on a central composite rotatable design with three parameters, five levels and 20 runs, was used to develop a mathematical model predicting the tensile properties of friction stir welded AA 6061-T4 aluminum alloy joints at 95% confidence level. The three welding parameters considered were tool rotational speed, welding speed and axial force. Analysis of variance was applied to validate the predicted model. Microstructural characterization and fractography of joints were examined using optical and scanning electron microscopes. Also, the effects of the welding parameters on tensile properties of friction stir welded joints were analyzed in detail. The results showed that the optimum parameters to get a maximum of tensile strength were 920 rev/min, 78 mm/min and 7.2 kN, where the maximum of tensile elongation was obtained at 1300 rev/min, 60 mm/min and 8 kN. 相似文献

AbstractThe effect of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) on the tensile properties of friction stir welded (FSW) joints of 2219-T6 aluminium alloy was investigated. The PWHT was carried out at aging temperature of 165°C for 18 h. The mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated using tensile tests. The experimental results indicate that the PWHT significantly influences the tensile properties of the FSW joints. After the heat treatment, the tensile strength of the joints increases and the elongation at fracture of the joints decreases. The maximum tensile strength of the joints is equivalent to 89% of that of the base material. The fracture location characteristics of the heat treated joints are similar to those of the as welded joints. The defect free joints fracture in the heat affected zone on the retreating side and the joints with a void defect fracture in the weld zone on the advancing side. All of the experimental results can be explained by the hardness profiles and welding defects in the joints. 相似文献

The V-95 and D-19 precipitation hardened Russian aluminum alloys are widely used in the Russian aircraft industry and these alloys are not weldable by conventional fusion weld techniques. This paper intends to evaluate the effect of spindle and weld speed on joint strength characteristics of a single pass (SP) and double pass (DP) friction stir lap weld through a common heat index and to analyze the effect of retrogression and re-ageing treatment (RRA) on joint strength and corrosion characteristics. The strength characteristics were analyzed by welding and shear testing of specimens and corrosion susceptibility of joint through immersion in EXCO solution as per ASTM G34. The trials revealed that the joint strength of the welded alloy is inversely proportional to the heat index and the DP weld provided significantly higher strength than an SP weld. The heat affected zone of the joint was found most sensitized to corrosion. The RRA treatment was found to improve the strength of the joints welded with higher heat input while it slightly degraded the joint strength for low heat input welds. The corrosion characteristics of the welded joint is also significantly improved by the post weld RRA treatment. 相似文献

AbstractPost-weld heat treatment (PWHT) of 2219-O aluminium alloy friction stir welding joints was carried out at solution temperatures of 480, 500 and 540°C for 32 min followed by aging at 130°C for 9 h. The effects of PWHT on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints were investigated. Experimental results show that PWHT causes coarsening of the grains in the weld, and the coarsening degree increases with increasing solution temperature. The tensile strength of the heat treated joints increases with increasing solution temperature. The maximum tensile strength can reach 260% that of the base material at the solution temperature of 540°C. PWHT has a significant effect on the fracture locations of the joints. When the solution temperature is lower than 500°C, the joints fracture in the base material; when the temperature is higher than 500°C, the joints fracture in the weld. The change of the fracture locations of joints is attributed to the presence of precipitate free zones beside the grain boundaries and coarsening equiaxed grain structures in the weld. 相似文献

In this paper, the effects of post‐weld heat treatment on modification of microstructures and mechanical properties of friction stir welded and gas metal arc welded AA6061‐O plates were compared with each other. Gas metal arc welding and friction stir welding were used as the applicable welding processes for AA6061‐O alloys. The applied post‐weld heat treatment consisted of solution heat treatment, followed by water quenching and finally artificial aging. The samples were classified as post‐weld heat treated and as‐welded joints. The microstructural evolution, tensile properties, hardness features and fracture surfaces of both as‐welded and post‐weld heat treated samples were reported. The results clearly showed that friction stir welding process demonstrated better and more consistent mechanical properties by comparison with the gas metal arc welding process. The weld region of as‐welded samples exhibited a higher hardness value of 80 HV0.1 compared to the base material. In addition, the feasibility of post‐weld heat treatment in order to enhance the mechanical properties and to obtain more homogeneous microstructure of 6061‐O aluminum alloys was evaluated. 相似文献

Series of welds were made by friction stir welding (FSW) with various backplates made out of materials ranging from low diffusivity granite to high diffusivity copper in order to reveal the effect of backplate diffusivity on the joint microstructure and properties. The temperature, microstructure, microhardness and tensile properties of joints were compared and discussed. Results show that the backplate with high diffusivity effectively decreases the heat input to the workpiece during FSW. With decreasing the backplate diffusivity the sizes of equiaxed recrystallized grains in the nugget zone increase obviously, while the hardness of the nugget zone also increases a little. The interface between the thermo-mechanically affected zone and nugget zone at the retreating side disappears under the granite backplate. Moreover, the ductility of the joint is more excellent under the copper backplate, but under the granite backplate the failure has mixed fracture characteristics of quasi-cleavage and dimples. 相似文献

Nowadays aluminum alloys substitute copper in various applications for weight reduction and cost savings. This paper presents fuzzy-grey Taguchi technique for optimization of friction stir welding condition with seven weld quality attributes of dissimilar Al/Cu joints with the minimum number of experiments for effective productivity and product quality. Taguchi's L16 orthogonal array was used to conduct the experiments. Fuzzy inference system was adapted to convert the multi quality characteristics into an equivalent single quality parameter which was optimized by Taguchi approach. Four parameters namely, rotational speed of the tool, welding speed, plunging depth and tool pin offset were varied in four levels for investigating the effects on the process output like tensile strength, compressive strength, percentage of elongation, bending angle, weld bead thickness and average hardness at the nugget zone. The hardness profile is consistent with the variation of the structure within the nugget zone (NZ). Confirmation experiment was conducted using predicted optimum parameter setting and it showed that the proposed approach could efficiently optimize weld quality parameters. The microstructural analyses were also performed for all the zones of the joints at both Al and Cu sides. It revealed the finer grain size at the NZ compared to the base material due to dynamic recrystallization. 相似文献

Effects of peening on mechanical properties in friction stir welded 2195 aluminum alloy joints 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of surface treatment techniques like laser and shot peening on the mechanical properties were investigated for friction stir welded 2195 aluminum alloy joints. The loading in the tensile specimens was applied in a direction perpendicular to the weld direction. The peening effects on the local mechanical properties through the different regions of the weld were characterized using a digital image correlation technique assuming an iso-stress condition. This assumption implies that the stress is uniform over the cross-section and is equal to the average stress. The surface strain and average stress were used giving an average stress–strain curve over the region of interest. The extension of the iso-stress assumption to calculate local stress–strain curves in surface treated regions is a novel approach and will help to understand and improve the local behavior at various regions across the weld resulting in a sound welding process. The surface and through-thickness residual stresses were also assessed using the X-ray diffraction and the contour methods. The laser peened samples displayed approximately 60% increase in the yield strength of the material. In contrast, shot peening exhibited only modest improvement to the tensile properties when compared to the unpeened FSW specimens. The result that laser peening is superior to shot peening because of the depth of penetration is original since this superiority has not been presented before regarding mechanical properties performance. 相似文献

The effects of post weld heat treatment (PWHT) and oil quenching on the metallurgical and mechanical properties of the duplex (UNS S31803) welded joints were evaluated at three different temperatures namely 1080, 1150 and 1200 °C. The microstructural variation, austenite/ferrite phase changes, grain size measurements and microhardness aspects of the welded joint were observed. The fraction of ferrite and austenite phases was equivalent at 1150 °C. Nickel element was more efficient in controlling the twin phase balance. Finer grain structure was achieved at 1150 °C due to recrystallization effect. Twin phase presence and absence of precipitates were confirmed through XRD and TEM which followed Kurdjumov–Sachs relationship. At a heating pressure of 40 MPa, heating time of 4 s, an upsetting pressure of 80 MPa, and an upsetting time of 2 s during a PWHT at 1150 °C, a 50/50 balance between the duplex phases, fine grains, and increased microhardness were obtained. 相似文献

In this study, an experimental investigation has been carried out on microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded copper/brass dissimilar joints. Effect of axial tool force to welding quality has been investigated under obtained optimal tool rotation rate and tool traverse speed conditions. The tool for the dissimilar copper/brass friction stir welding manufactured from X155CrMoV12–1 cold work tool steel with material number of 1.2379. The friction stir welding quality was investigated by welding surface inspections, microstructural studies, micro hardness measurements and tensile tests. The experimental studies have shown that constant axial tool force during pre‐heating and during welding process are very important. As a result, by using 2.5–3 kN of axial tool force during pre‐heating and 5.5 kN of axial tool force during welding process, copper/brass dissimilar joints with well appearance and higher mechanical strength can be obtained. 相似文献

Stationary shoulder friction stir welding (SSFSW) butt welded joints were fabricated successfully for AA6061-T6 sheets with 5.0 mm thickness. The welding experiments were performed using 750–1500 rpm tool rotation speeds and 100–300 mm/min welding speeds. The effects of welding parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties for the obtained welds were discussed and analyzed in detail. It is verified that the defect-free SSFSW welds with fine and smooth surface were obtained for all the selected welding parameters, and the weld transverse sections are obviously different from that of conventional FSW joint. The SSFSW nugget zone (NZ) has “bowl-like” shapes with fairly narrow thermal mechanically affected zone (TMAZ) and heat affected zone (HAZ) and the microstructures of weld region are rather symmetrical and homogeneous. The 750–1500 rpm rotation speeds apparently increase the widths of NZ, TMAZ and HAZ, while the influences of 100–300 mm/min welding speeds on their widths are weak. The softening regions with the average hardness equivalent 60% of the base metal are produced on both advancing side and retreating side. The tensile properties of AA6061-T6 SSFSW joints are almost unaffected by the 750–1500 rpm rotation speeds for given 100 mm/min, while the changing of welding speed from 100–300 mm/min for given 1500 rpm obviously increased the tensile strength of the joint and the maximum value for welding parameter 1500 rpm and 300 mm/min reached 77.3% of the base metal strength. The tensile fracture sites always locate in HAZ either on the advancing side or retreating side of the joints. 相似文献

采用8.5 mm厚度2A14-T4铝合金和自主研制搅拌工具进行静止轴肩搅拌摩擦焊(stationary shoulder friction stir welding,SSFSW)实验,探讨焊接工艺参数对接头组织和力学性能的影响规律。结果表明:只有在低转速工艺参数范围内(转速ω=400~600 r/min与焊接速率v=60~120 mm/min)可获得焊缝表面光滑、无缺陷厚板铝合金SSFSW焊接接头。SSFSW焊缝区主要由焊核区(NZ)组成,周围热力影响区(TMAZ)及热影响区(HAZ)宽度明显减小,焊核区与搅拌针形状类似且由两种不同尺寸细小等轴晶构成,前进侧NZ晶粒比后退侧NZ更为细小。接头显微硬度呈"W"状分布,NZ硬度值可达到母材硬度80%~90%,TMAZ与HAZ交界处存在软化区,硬度最低为母材硬度72%左右。在给定ω=500 r/min,v=140 mm/min焊接参数下,SSFSW接头抗拉强度可达到母材的88%,断裂位置多位于后退侧TMAZ与HAZ交界处软化区,具有韧性断裂特征。 相似文献

Hook defect (HD) seriously decreases the mechanical properties of friction stir spot welded (FSSW) joints. In this study, two methods were therefore used to eliminate the HD in pinless FSSW joints. The one is changing welding parameters such as rotating speed and dwell time. The other one is FSSW plus subsequent friction stir welding (FSSW-FSW), which is an innovative method proposed in this study. Experimental results showed that the HD in pinless FSSWed AA2024 joints was successfully eliminated by using FSSW-FSW, not by changing process parameters. The joints without HD exhibited a tensile–shear load of as much as 12 kN, which was higher than that of 6.9 kN in the joints with HD. Furthermore, it was proved that the tensile–shear load is not greatly improved only by increasing the nugget zone when HD still existed in the FSSW joints. In addition, the fracture morphology analysis demonstrated that the shear fracture of the FSSW-FSW joints took place along the boundary between the upper and lower sheets through the weld nugget, and the faying surface between the two sheets was completely sheared off. 相似文献

This paper reports the effect of post weld heat treatment on fatigue behaviour of electron beam welded AA2219 aluminium alloy. An attempt has been made to enhance the fatigue strength of the electron beam welded joints through post weld heat treatment methods such as solution treatment, artificial aging, solution treatment and artificial aging. Electron beam welding machine with 100 kV capacity has been used to fabricate the square butt joints. Servo hydraulic controlled fatigue testing machine with a capacity of 100 kN has been used to evaluate the fatigue life of the welded joints. Of the three post weld heat treated joints, the solution treated and aged joints are enduring higher number of cycles under the action of cyclic loads. 相似文献

In this paper the influence of different post welding treatments, such as ageing or shot peening, on the fatigue behaviour of Al-alloy welded joints was investigated. The analysed joints were candidates for car structural applications. Several four point bending fatigue tests were conducted on GMAW specimens subjected to different post weld treatments. The residual stress field acting on specimens was measured by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The results of tests were discussed with the aid of a finite element model of the specimen aimed to calculate the actual fatigue cycle, also taking account of residual stresses and of their redistribution during the test. This allowed to characterize the fatigue resistance of the joints, taking account of the effective stress acting in the region of crack initiation. 相似文献

In this paper, AA6061-T4 T-joints with three different joint geometries of T-lap/T-butt-lap/T-butt were fabricated successfully by friction stir welding. The distributions and formation mechanisms of defects in friction stir welded (FSWed) T-joints were discussed through macro and micro-observations, respectively. Hardness profiles of the as-welded samples were also measured to evaluate the softening effect during the process. What’s more, influences of joint geometry and the traverse speed on the tensile properties of FSWed T-joints were investigated. All the experimental results indicate that tunnel defects and kissing bond are easily formed and vary significantly in T-joints of the three joint geometries. Defects are moderated to a large extent with decreasing the traverse speed, but the specific relationship to tensile properties is complicated. T-lap joints present the superior tensile properties along the skin direction among the three geometries, the same as T-butt joints along the stringer direction. All the as-welded samples almost fractured in the locations of softening zones and bonding surfaces. 相似文献

The heat treatable aluminium alloy AA2024 is used extensively in the aircraft industry because of its high strength to weight ratio and good ductility. The non-heat treatable aluminium alloy AA5083 possesses medium strength and high ductility and used typically in structural applications, marine, and automotive industries. When compared to fusion welding processes, friction stir welding (FSW) process is an emerging solid state joining process which is best suitable for joining these alloys. The friction stir welding parameters such as tool pin profile, tool rotational speed, welding speed, and tool axial force influence the mechanical properties of the FS welded joints significantly. Dissimilar FS welded joints are fabricated using five different tool pin profiles. Central composite design with four parameters, five levels, and 31 runs is used to conduct the experiments and response surface method (RSM) is employed to develop the model. Mathematical regression models are developed to predict the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and tensile elongation (TE) of the dissimilar friction stir welded joints of aluminium alloys 2024-T6 and 5083-H321, and they are validated. The effects of the above process parameters and tool pin profile on tensile strength and tensile elongation of dissimilar friction stir welded joints are analysed in detail. Joints fabricated using Tapered Hexagon tool pin profile have the highest tensile strength and tensile elongation, whereas the Straight Cylinder tool pin profile have the lowest tensile strength and tensile elongation. The results are useful to have a better understanding of the effects of process parameters, to fabricate the joints with desired tensile properties, and to automate the FS welding process. 相似文献
