اثر سرعت جوشکاری بر ریز ساختارها و خواص مکانیکی آلیاژ آلومینیوم 2219

جوشکاری اصطکاکی اغتشاشی شده در زیر آب 

ABSTRACT

Underwater friction stir welding (underwater FSW) has been demonstrated to be available for the strength improvement of normal FSW joints. In the present study, a 2219 aluminum alloy was underwater friction stir welded at a fixed rotation speed of 800 rpm and various welding speeds ranging from 50 to 200 mm/min in order to clarify the effect of welding speed on the performance of underwater friction stir welded joint. The results revealed that the precipitate deterioration in the thermal mechanically affected zone and the heat affected zone is weakened with the increase of welding speed, leading to a narrowing of softening region and an increase in lowest hardness value. Tensile strength firstly increases with the welding speed but dramatically decreases at the welding speed of 200 mm/min owing to the occurrence of groove defect. During tensile test, the joint welded at a lower welding speed is fractured in the heat affected zone on the retreating side. While at higher welding speed, the defect-free joint is fractured in the thermal mechanically affected zone on the advancing side.

 

جوشکاری اصطکاکی نقطه‌ای آلیاژ آلومنیوم-لیتیم aluminium–lithium 2A97 alloy

Microstructure and mechanical properties of

friction spot welding aluminium–lithium 2A97 alloy

ریزساختار و ویژگی‌های مکانیکی جوشکاری اصطکاکی نقطه‌ای آلیاژ آلومنیوم-لیتیم 2A97

ABSTRACT

In this study, we investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties in different regions of the friction spot welded 2A97 aluminium-lithium alloy subjected to different heat treatment processes. The 2.0. mm thick hot-rolled sheet of 2A97 alloy was successfully welded using friction spot welding method with optimised welding parameters. Afterwards, the as-welded 2A97 joints experienced two subsequent heat treatment procedures: solution and ageing; directly ageing. The corresponding microstructure and mechanical properties of the heat-treated specimens were studied by means of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), hardness test and tensile test. The results show that the mechanical properties of the 2A97 joints before and after heat treatment were significantly modified, which was mainly related to fine-grained microstructure, size and type of precipitates, and dislocation density. Compared to the base material and the material that only experienced direct ageing, the whole friction spot welded 2A97 joint after solution and ageing treatment delivered better mechanical properties.

Features of AcousticEmission Signals during the Initiation

ویژگی های سیگنال انتشار آکوستیک در طول شروع یک شکست خستگی

در یک اتصال جوش داده شده آلیاژ آلومینیوم سیستم Al-Cu-Mn

ABSTRACT

The features of the generation of acoustic emissions (AEs) during the initiation of a fatigue failure in various zones of a welded joint of thermally hardened 2219T6grade aluminum alloy, which is produced using electronbeam welding, are  considered. Metallographic studies showed that a welded joint of the alloy is structurally and mechanically inhomogeneous. This predominantly influ ences the initiation and development kinetics of fatigue cracks in the joint and the AE kinetics. It is shown that the area of a formed flaw is proportional to the sum of the amplitude of detected signals, and the transition from the initiation to the stable propagation of a failure is accompanied by an abrupt increase in AE activity.
