半螺纹搅拌针对2024铝合金搅拌摩擦搭接焊力学性能影响

作为影响搅拌摩擦焊（FSW）过程中塑性材料上下流动的重要因素,搅拌针螺纹形貌同样对搅拌摩擦搭接焊（FSLW）的材料流动和力学性能有着重要影响.为研究半螺纹搅拌针对FSLW接头显微组织和力学性能的影响,文中将全螺纹搅拌针和半螺纹搅拌针用于包铝2024铝合金FSLW试验,并对不同搅拌针作用下的FSLW接头的横截面形貌、剪切拉伸载荷、断裂位置等方面进行分析对比.结果表明,半螺纹搅拌针会使钩状缺陷向下弯曲,从而使FSLW接头具有较大的有效板材厚度以及搭接宽度.断裂模式同为剪切断裂,但半螺纹搅拌针作用下的FSLW接头拥有更大的拉断载荷.

搅拌针偏心距对焊缝金属塑性流动行为的影响

采用搅拌针偏心距分别为0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 mm搅拌头对叠层进行焊接试验,分析其对焊缝金属塑性流动行为影响.结果表明,焊缝由轴肩区、紊流区、焊核区及挤压区组成,其中紊流区为焊核区和轴肩区挤压金属形成的结果,前进侧挤压区金属变形尺寸明显大于返回侧.随偏心距增加,焊核区面积、宽度及挤压区标示材料向上迁移高度先增大后减小,前进侧标示材料向上迁移距离大于返回侧.由0.2 mm偏心距搅拌头获得焊核区面积和标示材料向上迁移距离最大.但焊核区宽度最大焊缝由0.3 mm偏心距搅拌头获得.根据焊缝金属塑性流动形态,提出搅拌针波动式挤压物理模型.     

阶梯形正反螺纹搅拌针对2A12-T4铝合金 FSLW接头力学性能的影响

搅拌针上螺纹分布情况会对搅拌摩擦焊接头内部材料流动行为产生重要影响,进而影响接头成形及力学性能. 采用锥形螺纹搅拌针和阶梯形正反螺纹搅拌针进行2A12-T4铝合金搅拌摩擦搭接焊试验,对比分析了两种搅拌针下搅拌摩擦搭接焊接头横截面形貌、显微组织、拉剪性能及接头断裂位置. 结果表明,两种搅拌针下接头横截面形貌均呈现“碗状”. 然而,在阶梯形正反螺纹搅拌针焊接下搭接界面后退侧出现特有的“括号”形貌. 相对于锥形螺纹搅拌针,阶梯形正反螺纹搅拌针下的接头热力影响区与热影响区晶粒分布相差不大,但焊核区晶粒细化程度更加明显;接头在焊接速度80 mm/min下可获得最大拉剪性能,其值为10.39 kN. 阶梯形正反螺纹搅拌针下接头界面后退侧出现的“括号”形貌阻碍了裂纹向焊核区进一步扩展,断裂模式表现为拉伸断裂.

Study of friction stir joining of thin aluminium sheets in lap joint configuration

Abstract

Thinning in friction stir lap joints and its relation with the process variables was investigated. Friction stir welds were made on 1 mm thick AA6111 aluminium alloy sheets in order to study the effects of rotation rate, traverse speed, plunge depth, tilt angle and pin height on faying surface defects. Sheet thinning on the advancing and retreating sides was quantified and the lap shear strength of the joints was evaluated. A decrease in the pitch of the runs at constant rotation rate increased the sheet thinning and reduced the joint strength in a linear manner. Process pitch and pin height were found to be the most critical factors in determining the faying surface lift up. A pin of the same height as the sheet thickness resulted in maximum lap shear strength. Tool tilt did not show a significant effect on the sheet thinning.     

轴肩下压量对搅拌摩擦焊搭接接头力学性能的影响

采用表面为右螺纹圆柱型搅拌针的搅拌头对3mm厚LY12铝合金进行了搅拌摩擦焊搭接试验,研究了轴肩下压量对接头界面迁移和搭接接头力学性能的影响.结果表明,随轴肩下压量增大,焊缝两侧的搭接界面均向下迁移,其迁移量随下压量的增加而增加,焊缝返回侧的界面迁移量大于前进侧.控制轴肩下压量,当轴肩下压量合适时,焊缝两侧的界面仅发生较小的迁移.当焊缝两侧的界面仅发生较小的迁移量时,搭接接头有较高的抗剪强度,且断裂都发生在上板,呈正断.焊缝两侧的搭接界面向下迁移时,断裂都发生在下板,接头抗剪强度随界面迁移高度的增加而减小,且受拉侧在下板前进侧时,接头的抗剪强度较受拉侧在下板返回侧时的高.     

Resistance spot welding of steel and aluminium sheet using insert metal sheet

Abstract

The present paper reports the resistance spot welding of steel and aluminium sheets using aluminium clad steel sheets as insert metals. Intermetallic compound layers were formed in the weld zones in direct spot welding of steel sheets to aluminium sheets. Thus, the strength of these joints was lower than that of aluminium to aluminium joints. Intermetallic compound layers were also formed at the steel/aluminium interfaces of the insert metal in welding of steel to aluminium using an insert metal sheet. However, the strength of these joints was of the same order as that of the aluminium joints. The fracture mode of these joints varied with the welding current. The suitable welding current for steel to aluminium joints varied between the values suitable for steel to steel and aluminium to aluminium joints. The fatigue strength of joints using insert metals was somewhat lower than that of the aluminium joints.     

Effect of pin rotating speed on lap shear strength of stationary shoulder friction stir lap welded 6005A-T6 aluminum alloy

Stationary shoulder friction stir lap welding (SSFSLW) was successfully used to weld 6005A-T6 aluminum alloy in this paper.Effect of pin rotating speed on cross section morphologies and lap shear strength of the SSFSLW joints were mainly discussed.Results show that joints without flash and shoulder marks can be obtained by the stationary shoulder.Cross section of the SSFSLW joint presents a basin-like morphology and little material loss.By increasing the rotating speed from 1 000 rpm to 1 600 rpm,both effective sheet thickness and lap width increase,while lap shear failure load firstly decreases and then increases.The maximum failure load of 14.05 kN is attained when 1 000 rpm is used.All SSFSLW joints present shear fracture mode.

Friction anchor welding between Al alloy and Zn-coated steel using insert steel difference in the mechanism of friction anchor welding between the types of Zn coatings on Zn-coated steel

The lap joints of upper Al alloy sheets (1.0-mm-thick A5052) and lower Zn-coated steel sheets (1.2-mm-thick GI steel or GA steel) were welded using insert steel sheets (0.6-mm-thick SPCC) by a spot welding process with a tool having a spherical ceramic tip, i.e. ‘Friction Anchor Welding.’ As a result, straight (not-rugged) steel projections were formed in the Al alloy sheets for both the GI and GA, while steel projections were not formed for the GI, rugged steel projections were formed for the GA without the insert steel sheets. In addition, the tensile shear strength for the GI was greater than that for the GA. In other words, the tensile shear strengths reached about 3.9 kN/point for the GI and about 3.2 kN/point for the GA, which were greater than those of the welds without the insert steel sheets. On the other hand, the cross tensile strengths for the GI and GA were almost the same, which reached about 2.6 kN/point. Additionally, for the GI, the Zn layer on the GI steel sheet melted and was totally removed due to the pressure and heat caused by the rotating tool, which facilitated the welding between the SPCC and GI steel sheets. For the GA, however, the Zn-Fe layer on the GA steel sheet changed to a solid-liquid mixture and was not completely removed, which prevented the welding between the SPCC and GA steel sheets. Therefore, the thickness of the steel-steel welded region (i.e. the SPCC-GI or the SPCC-GA welded region) for the GI was greater than that for the GA. We estimated that the difference in this thickness is significantly related to the fracture mechanism during the tensile shear test and the cross tensile test.     

Friction stir lap welding of plastic to metal using adjustable tool

An OX horn type interlocking joint of MC Nylon-6 (top sheet) and AMXS6020 Mg alloy (bottom sheet) with satisfactory mechanical properties had been obtained by friction stir lap welding (FSLW) using an adjustable tool. The adjustable tool produced the good surface appearances and mechanical interlocking interfaces with low shoulder rotation speeds and high probe rotation speeds. The Mg alloy around the probe was stirred into the melted MC Nylon-6 zone during the FSLW process to form OX horn shape which bended toward the joint centre. The influences of welding parameters on Mg alloy horns formation, tensile shear strength and fracture morphology were investigated. Mechanical interlocking induced by the Mg alloy horns contributed to the main joining mechanism.

Friction stir spot welded joints of 409L stainless steels fabricated by a convex shoulder tool

Spot joints of ferritic 409L stainless steel are successfully fabricated by friction stir spot welding (FSSW) using a convex shoulder tool. The welding process, microstructure and failure of the FSSW joint are investigated experimentally. During the FSSW process, the Z-force history shows significant variations depending on the contact phenomena between the tool and the joined sheets, while the Z-torque history shows a rather steady increase without pronounced changes in the trend until the initiation of dwelling. Electron back-scatter diffraction suggests that both continuous dynamic recrystallization and recovery occurred in the stir zone during the FSSW process. Observation of the FSSW joint that failed under the given lap shear load shows that the cracks, which are the result of the interfaces between the upper and lower sheets, propagated into the weld along the interfacial surfaces, after which a necking/shear failure occurred. Finally, the rupture of the joint, which was initiated by the necking/shear failure, propagated along the circumference of the weld.     

搅拌工具尺寸和工艺参数对塑料搅拌摩擦焊焊缝质量的影响

用不同尺寸的搅拌工具对聚氯乙烯(PVC)板材进行了搅拌摩擦对接焊工艺试验.试验证明,在搅拌工具肩部直径为30 mm,搅拌头直径为10 mm,搅拌头旋转速度为1 660 r/min,焊接速度为25 mm/min的情况下,可以得到焊缝饱满、成形美观的焊接接头.提高搅拌头的旋转速度可以成比例地提高焊接温度;焊接速度的影响较复杂,增大焊接速度一方面会降低焊接热输入,一方面又会间接地增大搅拌头的进给阻力,从而增大摩擦发热功率,提高焊接温度;搅拌工具肩部直径直接影响肩部与被焊材料表面的摩擦发热功率,增大肩部直径可以提高焊接温度,还有利于阻止焊缝材料的飞溅和外溢;而搅拌头直径的影响较复杂,增大它既可以提高搅拌头侧面与被焊材料之间的相对运动线速度,从而提高焊接温度,又会增加被焊材料的吸热功率和传热面积,从而降低焊接温度.     

三维搅拌摩擦焊接过程数值模拟

将搅拌摩擦焊接过程中材料的流动看作是层流、粘性、非牛顿流体绕过旋转的圆柱体,并基于流体力学理论,建立了三维搅拌摩擦焊缝金属塑性流动的数值分析模型.计算结果表明,在焊缝上部表面附近,由于搅拌头轴肩的影响,材料流动比较混乱,发生多次绕流现象;焊缝下部材料流动规律性较明显:只有很少一部分靠近搅拌头探针的材料在焊接过程中受到探针的作用而发生变形和流动,在大多数的模拟条件下,探针直径范围内的材料仅仅在回撤边一侧沿旋转方向绕过探针.焊缝中部具有底部和上部材料的流动特点,是探针和轴肩共同影响的结果.采用"标记嵌入技术"对焊缝金属流动进行可视化研究,试验结果与模拟结果进行了验证,模拟结果能很好地预测塑性金属流动趋势.     

Influence of tool pin design on properties of dissimilar copper to aluminum friction stir welding

Dissimilar friction stir welding (FSW) of copper and aluminum was investigated by nine different tool designs, while the rest of the process parameters were kept constant. Mechanical and metallurgical tests such as macrostructure, microstructure, tensile test, hardness, scanning electron microscope and electron X-ray spectrographs were performed to assess the properties of dissimilar joints. The results exhibited that, the maximum joint strength was achieved by the tool of cylindrical pin profile having 8 mm pin diameter. Besides, the fragmental defects increased as the number of polygonal edges decreased, hence the polygonal pin profiles were unsuitable for dissimilar FSW butt joints. Furthermore, the tensile strength increased as the number of polygonal edges increased. Stir zone of polygonal pin profiles was hard and brittle relative to cylindrical tool pin profiles for same shoulder surface. Maximum hardness of HV 283 was obtained at weld made by the polygonal square pin profile. The hard and brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) were prominently presented in the stir zone. Phases of IMCs such as CuAl, CuAl₂, Cu₃Al and Cu₉Al₄ were presented in the stir zone of dissimilar Cu–Al joints.     

搅拌针偏置对SR-FSW焊缝界面残留缺陷及接头力学性能的影响

系统研究了搅拌针偏置对双轴肩搅拌摩擦焊接头内部质量及接头性能的影响. 接头组织形貌结果表明,接头焊核区由存在层状结构的3个区域和不带任何趋势性分布的1个楔状区域组成. 当搅拌针偏置使接头原始装配界面置于接头后退侧塑性金属流动不充分的楔状区域时,将会产生一种特有的界面残留缺陷. 接头力学性能结果表明,随着搅拌针偏置从−6 mm变至−3 mm时,接头拉伸性能逐渐升高,均断裂于界面残留缺陷处;当搅拌针偏置处于{−2 mm,+ 5 mm}范围内时,接头性能达到最优,接头抗拉强度达到340 ~ 350 MPa,接头均断裂于后退侧热力影响区. 而当偏置进入 + 6 mm时,接头性能开始下降.
