Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to Metal Material Welding technical field, be specifically related to a kind of method of magnesium, Aluminum Alloy Plate friction stir welding.
Background technology
The density of aluminium, magnesium metal is little, is respectively
2.7g/cm 3 with
1.7g/cm 3 , aluminium alloy has: proportion is little, thermal conductivity good, be easy to advantages such as being shaped, cheap, and being widely used in the fields such as Aero-Space, communications and transportation, light industry building materials, is most widely used in light-alloy, that consumption is maximum alloys.It is little that magnesium alloy has proportion, specific strength, specific stiffness are high, and damping and amortization, machinability, thermal conductivity are good, and electromagnetic shielding capability is strong, dimensionally stable, the advantages such as aboundresources, easily reclaims, pollution-free, therefore, just obtaining increasingly extensive application in fields such as auto industry, communications electronics industry and aerospace industries, the annual growth of whole world magnesium alloy output is up to 20% in recent years, shows application prospect very widely.
In engineering reality, the welding of Al alloys andMg alloys is essential, adopts common melting connecting aluminum alloy, is easy to occur following problem: 1, welded joints in aluminium alloy is softening serious, and strength factor is low, and this is also the biggest obstacle hindering aluminium alloy application; 2, aluminum alloy surface easily produces the oxide-film (Al of infusibility
2o
3its fusing point is 2060 DEG C), this just needs the welding procedure adopting high power density; 3, Welded easily produces pore; 4, Welded easily produces fire check; 5, linear expansion coefficient is large, easily produces welding deformation; 6 aluminum alloy heat conductances large (being about 4 times of steel), under same weld speed, heat input is than welding large 2 ~ 4 times of steel.Magnesium alloy adopts common melting to be easy to occur following problem: 1, magnesium is at high temperature very easily combined with oxygen and generates unsound Welding seam inclusion, seriously reduces weldquality; 2, magnesium and alloying elements form low melting eutectics body, under brittleness temperature, very easily form fire check; 3, hydrogen has decline in the solubility of magnesium alloy along with the reduction of temperature, therefore in weld seam, forms hydrogen blistering, and during especially welding pressure as-cast magnesium alloy, cavitations is particularly serious, sharply reduces the mechanical property of welding line joint.
Friction stir welding is a kind of solid phase joining technique that Britain's institute of welding invents (US5460317) for 1991.It is a kind of pure mechanization continuous print solid phase joining technique, during welding, the stirring-head of a special shape is rotating insertion welded piece, stirring-head and the shaft shoulder are respectively and rub between materials to be welded and produce frictional heat, material is made to reach mecystasis, maximum temperature in welding process is no more than 80% of material melting point, when stirring-head moves forward along joint to be welded, the material reaching plastification is posteriorly shifted by the front portion of stirring-head, and under the action of mechanical pressure of the shaft shoulder, realize the solid diffusivity between workpiece.Do not need to add packing material in friction stir welding process, there is no complicated preparation before weldering, do not form the defect of molten solder.The mode of this friction stir welding is particularly suitable for Al alloys andMg alloys, the welding particularly between Al alloys andMg alloys cut deal.
Although adopt the mode of friction stir welding to Al alloys andMg alloys cut deal (referring to Aluminum Alloy Plate or magnesium alloy cut deal), the problem such as bubble, crackle can be solved.But carry out stretching at the Al alloys andMg alloys cut deal that butt welding connects, fatigue test time, if strengthen proof strength, then still easily rupture at welding line joint place, its welding line joint place remains and belongs to weakness zone.Therefore the bonding strength how improved after the welding of Al alloys andMg alloys cut deal, be still worth research.
At present, in prior art, also the method that existence part is improved friction stir welding, such as: a kind of heating friction stir welding method disclosed in patent CN201010188310.2, while friction stir welding, adopt resistance furnace to heat in this technology, its energy charge is comparatively large, and still cannot solve the problem better.In addition, in the patented technologies such as CN200710092974.7, CN200810236447.3, C N200910103686.6 and CN200910103687.0, also friction stir welding is improved, utilize galvanic circle to add composite heat power supply, but its galvanic circle comprises stirring-head, the stirring-head lost of life can be caused, conductive region is large simultaneously, cause operation dangerous, the defects such as energy charge is larger, make operability reduce; These technology still can not solve the rear easy problem in the fracture of weld seam advance side of Al alloys andMg alloys cut deal welding better simultaneously.
