The effects of gap width and groove in steel side on the microstructure and tensile strength of the resultant joints were investigated. For the joint made with 0 mm-wide gap and without groove in steel side, severe incomplete brazing zone occurred along the steel side and bottom surfaces, and consequently seriously deteriorated the joint strength. However, presetting 1.5 mm-wide gap or with groove in steel side could promote the wetting of molten filler metal on the laying surfaces, and then significantly enhance the resultant joint strength. Moreover, post-weld heat treatment could further improve the tensile strength of the joints. During tensile testing, the specimens from the joints made with AI-12%Si flux-cored filler wire fractured through the weld or interracial layer, but those from the heat-treated joints made with Zn-15%AI flux-cored filler wire fractured in the aluminum base metal.展开更多

The experimental results displayed that the tensile strength of the joint made with angular butt joint and 0.3 ram-wide gap reached 266 MPa, the joint fractured through the heat-affected zone or base metal during tensile testing, and the microstructure examination showed that no macropore appeared in the fusion zone. However, macropores in diameter of larger than 200 micron occurred for other joint designs, the tensile strength of the resultant joints decreased, and the joints fractured through the fusion zone during tensile testing. The fracture surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy and the microhardness distribution in the joints was measured by using a Vickers microhardness tester.展开更多
