冷却条件对2219-T62铝合金厚板搅拌摩擦焊接头耐蚀性的影响

Effect of cooling conditions on corrosion resistance of friction stir welded 2219-T62 aluminum alloy thick plate joint

通过开路电位(OCP)、动电位极化曲线、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)研究水冷和空冷对20 mm厚2219-T62铝合金搅拌摩擦焊(FSW)接头在3.5%NaCl溶液中耐蚀性的影响。结果表明,与2219铝合金母材和FSW焊缝热影响区相比,具有较高电位、较低腐蚀电流密度和细小均匀沉淀强化相的2219铝合金FSW焊缝焊核区,在3.5%NaCl溶液中具有较好的耐蚀性。与空冷接头相比,水冷FSW接头的耐蚀性明显提高。通过显微组织形貌分析可知,2219铝合金FSW接头在含氯离子腐蚀溶液中的耐蚀性取决于电位的高低和第二相粒子尺寸和分布。

Friction stir welding (FSW) with water cooling and air cooling was used to weld 2219-T62 aluminum alloy joints with a thickness of 20 mm. The effect of cooling conditions on the corrosion resistance of joints in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated using the open circuit potential (OCP), the potentiodynamic polarization, and the corrosion morphology after immersing for different time. And the precipitates distribution was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results reveal that the weld nugget zone (WNZ) owning positive potential, lower corrosion current density and fine and uniform precipitates, is much more difficult to corrode than the heat affected zone (HAZ) and the base metal (BM). Compared with air-cooled joint, the water-cooled joint has better corrosion resistance. In addition, the results of microstructure observation show that the potential, distribution and size of second phase particles determine the corrosion resistance of FSW AA2219 alloy joints in chlorine-contained solution.
