Effect of weld reinforcement on fatigue properties of A6N01 aluminum alloy welded joint

Fatigue properties of smooth and reinforcement A6N01 aluminum alloy welded joints were characterized in this paper. Based on measured S-lgN curves and fatigue fracture morphologies, effect of weld reinforcement on the fatigue property of the welded joint was studied. Results show that the weld toe is the weakness region of the reinforcement welded joint due to the stress concentration in this area, thus the fatigue fracture occurred at the weld toe for all the reinforcement welded joints; while the fatigue property of the smooth welded joint was improved due to remove of the weld reinforcement, and the welding defect was the key factor of the fatigue fracture, thus its fracture zones mainly located at welding zone and fusion line.     

粗晶层对A7N01S-T5铝合金应力腐蚀性能的影响

通过四点弯梁应力腐蚀试验,研究不同截取位置的A7N01S-T5铝合金母材和焊接接头在3.5%Na Cl溶液中的耐应力腐蚀性能。运用光学显微镜、扫描电镜及激光共聚焦显微镜检测四种试样的显微组织和腐蚀形貌。结果表明,四种试样的腐蚀形式均由表面点蚀向内部沿材料的挤压方向扩展,最后呈现剥层腐蚀的特征。具有粗晶层试样的耐应力腐蚀性能明显优于去除粗晶层后的试样,焊接接头热影响区的耐应力腐蚀性能最差。
