Characteristic of laser-MIG hybrid welding with filling additional cold wire for aluminum alloy

The weld appearance, deposition rate, welding efficiency, stability of arc, laser keyhole characteristic, and weld property were studied by using a novel laser-MIG hybrid welding process with filling wire of aluminum alloy. The results were also compared with those by conventional laser-MIG hybrid welding process. It was found that with the suitable process parameters this novel welding process for aluminum alloy was stable and final weld bead had fine appearance. Compared to conventional laser-MIG hybrid welding process, during this novel welding process the stability of arc, the laser keyhole characteristic and the weld property were similar, while the keyhole cycle frequency and keyhole opening area had differences of 1.23% and 15.34%, respectively, and the welding efficiency increased by about 31% without increasing heat input.

Analysis of the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties during Inertia Friction Welding of the Near-α TA19 Titanium Alloy

The current research of titanium alloy on friction welding process in the field of aero-engines mainly focuses on the linear friction welding.Compared to the linear friction welding,inertial friction welding of titanium alloy still has important application position in the welding of aero-engine rotating assembly.However,up to now,few reports on inertial friction welding of titanium alloy are found.In this paper,the near-alpha TA19 titanium alloy welded joint was successfully obtained by inertial friction welding(IFW)process.The microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated systematically.Results showed that the refined grains within 15‒20μm and weak texture were found in the weld zone due to dynamic recrystallization caused by high temperature and plastic deformation.The weld zone consisted of acicularα′martensite phase,αp phase and metastableβphase.Most lath-shapedαs andβphase in base metal were transformed into acicular martensiteα′phase and metastableβphase in thermo-mechanically affected zone and heat affected zone.As a result,the microhardness of welded joint gradually decreased from the weld zone to the base metal.Tensile specimens in room temperature and high temperature of 480℃ were all fractured in base metal illustrating that the inertia friction welded TA19 titanium alloy joint owned higher tensile strength compared to the base metal.

Low-temperature soldering process of AlN/Cu enhanced by Ti addition

Aluminum Nitride(AlN)ceramics were soldered to Cu substrate using active metallized Sn0.3Ag0.7Cu-x%Ti(wt.%,where x=2,4,6,8)at 250℃.This process yielded a robust and closely integrated metallized layer on the AlN ceramic’s surface.Employing SnAgCu solder paste within an air atmosphere,joints were formed for durations of 60s and 300 s.Through meticulous microscopic analysis,optimal metallization parameters were identified,resulting in the successful connection between metallized AlN ceramics and Cu substrate at a low temperature.The microstructure interface investigation further elucidated the impact of connection time on the low-temperature soldered joint of metallized AlN ceramics.

Effect of the heat input on microstructure and properties of submerged arc welded joint of 08Cr19MnNi3Cu2N stainless steel

SAW308L submerged arc welding wire and SJ601A submerged arc welding flux were selected to weld the 12 mm 08Cr19MnNi3Cu2N low nickel and high nitrogen austenitic stainless steel plates with three different welding heat input,and microstructure,tensile properties,microhardness and corrosion properties of the welded joints were studied.The results show that no defects are found in the three groups of welded joints,and the welded joints have better performance.The tensile strength of 08Cr19MnNi3Cu2N stainless steel welded joints with different heat input is slightly lower than that of the base metal,and fracture occurs in the weld zone,and the hardness of the weld zone is lower than that of the base metal.The weld microstructure of stainless steel welded joints with different heat input is composed of austenite+δferrite,and ferrite is uniformly distributed in austenite.With the increase of the welding heat input,the ferrite content in the weld zone decrease gradually,the grain size in the thermal affected zone increase gradually,and the impact toughness reduce.

Numerical simulation of DE- GMAW of magnesium alloy cylinder

Double-electrode gas shielded arc welding （ DE - GMAW） was used to weld the magnesium alloy cylinder with the diameter of 200 mm and the thickness of 6 mm. In order to study the residual stress distribution of AZ31B magnesiunl alloy welding point, numerical sinmlation of welding temperature field, stress field and residual stress were carried out by MSC. mare software. The results show that the residual stress in the weld and the heat affected zone is large, and with the increase of the distance away from the weld center, the residual stress decreases. In most areas, the longitudinal residual stress is greater than the transverse residual stress （except for the inside and outside surfaces of the weld） , all of which provides theoretical support for the study of magnesiunl alloy welding residual stress.
