Description

Conductive auxiliary member, dissimilar material joining apparatus, and dissimilar material joining method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of dissimilar material joining technology, and in particular, to a conductive auxiliary member, a dissimilar material joining apparatus, and a dissimilar material joining method.
Background
In the automotive industry, attempts have been made to reduce the weight of the aluminum alloy material due to environmental problems such as global warming, for example, by applying the aluminum alloy material to the body of the automobile. However, since an aluminum alloy material is inferior to a steel material in strength, formability, weldability, cost, and the like, it is not practical to replace all of the steel material with an aluminum alloy material. Therefore, at present, an aluminum alloy material is partially used, and a steel material and an aluminum alloy material coexist. In such a case, the steel material and the aluminum alloy material are certainly joined. However, when the steel material and the aluminum alloy material are directly welded, a brittle and hard intermetallic compound is formed in the welded portion, and the stability of the welded portion is deteriorated. In addition to steel and aluminum alloys, brittle and hard intermetallic compounds are often formed when two joining members made of different materials are joined.
Therefore, bonding of dissimilar materials is currently a very large barrier. At present, it is practical to use riveting or bolting for mechanical joining. However, in the case of riveting or bolting, a through hole is formed in the member to be joined, and then the through hole is positioned and a rivet or bolt is inserted. This increases the cost and reduces the efficiency of the operation. In short, the current state of the art for joining dissimilar materials has not yet achieved industrial requirements.
The foregoing description is provided for general background information and is not admitted to be prior art.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a conductive auxiliary member 4, which includes a conductive portion (not shown) and an insulating cover layer 43 disposed on the conductive portion. The conductive auxiliary 4 is used for joining a first to-be-joined member 5 and a second to-be-joined member 6 made of dissimilar materials. Specifically, the first to-be-joined member 5 is made of a first material, the second to-be-joined member 6 is made of a second material, both the first material and the second material are conductive materials, and the melting point of the second material is greater than that of the first material. The first to-be-bonded member 5 and the second to-be-bonded member 6 are stacked, and the first to-be-bonded member 5 and the insulating cover layer 43 are disposed in contact. When the power is supplied, the insulating covering layer 43 generates insulation damage, so that an impact current melts the first element to be bonded 5 to form an opening at the moment, and the conductive part shielded by the insulating covering layer 43 is exposed, so that the conductive part can penetrate through the first element to be bonded 5 and is in contact with the second element to be bonded 6. The current is adjusted, and the conductive part and the second joint 6 to be jointed are heated and melted by using the resistance heating principle. Finally, the energization is stopped, so that a nugget 7 is formed between the conductive portion and the second member-to-be-joined 6 after cooling, and the first member-to-be-joined 5 is clamped between the conductive portion and the second member-to-be-joined 6, thereby completing the joining between the first member-to-be-joined 5 and the second member-to-be-joined 6.
The vertical section of the conductive part is approximately in a T shape, and comprises a first column body 41 and a second column body 42 which are arranged from top to bottom in sequence. The horizontal projection of the second column 42 falls into the horizontal projection of the first column 41, so that the opening of the first to-be-engaged member 5 can only allow the second column 42 to pass through, and the first column 41 is located outside the first to-be-engaged member 5 and abuts against the first to-be-engaged member 5. It is thereby possible to ensure that the first to-be-engaged member 5 is clamped between the first column 41 and the second to-be-engaged member 6, so that the first to-be-engaged member 5 and the second to-be-engaged member 6 are stably engaged. It should be noted that the first column 41 only needs to have a certain height, and the first column 41 is too high, which results in waste of electric energy, and therefore, the height of the first column 41 is less than that of the second column 42. Further, the height of the second column 42 is larger than the height of the first to-be-engaged member 5, so that it is possible to ensure that the second column 42 can smoothly pass through the first to-be-engaged member 5. The height of the second column 42 is smaller than the sum of the heights of the first to-be-engaged member 5 and the second to-be-engaged member 6, thereby preventing the second column 42 from penetrating out of the second to-be-engaged member 6. The first cylinder 41 and the second cylinder 42 may be made of the same material or different materials (different materials). When the first cylinder 41 and the second cylinder 42 are made of different materials, the melting point of the material of which the first cylinder 41 is made is greater than that of the material of which the second cylinder 42 is made, so that the first cylinder 41 can be prevented from being melted first, thereby affecting the conduction of current. In one embodiment, the first cylinder 41 and the second cylinder 42 are integrally formed and made of a third material. The melting point of the third material is greater than that of the first material and less than, equal to or greater than that of the second material, so that the second column 42 can smoothly pass through the first to-be-joined member 5 and form a nugget with the second to-be-joined member 6. In one embodiment, the first material is an aluminum alloy material and the second material is a steel material. In another embodiment, the second material and the third material are the same material, thereby suppressing the generation of a metal compound having high brittleness.
The insulating cover layer 43 of the conductive auxiliary 4 is uniformly coated on the end surface of the second cylinder 42 far away from the first cylinder 41, and has uniform thickness. The insulating cover layer 43 is made of ceramic powder, and air exists between particles of the ceramic powder. Normally, the dielectric breakdown voltage of air of 10 μm thickness is 30V, and the voltage supplied from the power source 1 when the first and second members to be bonded 5 and 6 are bonded is several tens of volts, so that the air in the insulating cover layer 43 concentrates the electric field to perform the dielectric breakdown function when the thickness of the air in the insulating cover layer 43 is appropriate. Once the insulation breakdown occurs, the first element to be joined 5 is melted by the instantaneous impulse current to form an opening, so that the second column 42 can pass through the first element to be joined 5 through the opening and contact the second element to be joined 6. At this time, the current is adjusted so that the second column 42 and the second to-be-joined member 6 are both heated and melted, and after cooling, a nugget is formed between the second column 42 and the second to-be-joined member 6, and then the joining between the first to-be-joined member 5 and the second to-be-joined member 6 is completed.
Through setting up insulating coating 43, electrically conductive auxiliary member 4 can be at the first trompil that waits on fastener 5 through self, so, need not set up the trompil in advance before the joint on first fastener 5 that waits, and then also need not fix a position the trompil for the joint operation is simple, convenient. In addition, the current can be concentrated instantaneously at the time of insulation breakdown to open the hole in the first part to be joined 5. If the hole is opened, a large current and/or a long energization time are required to melt the first element to be joined 5 by using the principle of resistance heating. When a large current passes and/or the energization time is long, the conductive auxiliary 4 and the first member to be joined 5 may react greatly to generate a brittle and hard intermetallic compound, so that the strength of the conductive auxiliary 4 and the first member to be joined 5 is reduced, and in addition, a molten liquid may splash. And the occurrence of the above-mentioned situation can be avoided by perforating through dielectric breakdown, the time required for perforating is short, and further, since the conductive auxiliary member 4 is not excessively heated, the decrease in strength of the conductive auxiliary member 4 itself can be avoided. Further, it is to be noted that when the first to-be-joined member 5 is made of an aluminum alloy material, resistance heat generation is hardly achieved because the aluminum alloy has high thermal conductivity and the temperature hardly rises. Therefore, it is impossible or difficult to realize the opening by the principle of resistance heating. In addition, since the heat conduction is unstable, the first to-be-joined member 5 may or may not melt and open the hole under the same current and current duration, and the reproducibility is poor. On the other hand, when the insulating cover layer 43 is provided, the first to-be-bonded member 5 can be perforated with high reproducibility even if it is made of a material having high thermal conductivity by dielectric breakdown.
Through calculation and corresponding experiments, in order to ensure the proper air thickness in the insulating cover layer 43, the thickness of the insulating cover layer 43 is 5 to 200 μm. In order to make the ceramic powder constituting the insulating coating layer 43 loose appropriately, a proper amount of air is contained, and the ceramic powder may be an acid-based ceramic powder, a carbide-based ceramic powder, or a silicon nitride-based ceramic powder.
With reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the present invention further provides a dissimilar material bonding apparatus, which includes a power source 1, a first electrode 2, a second electrode 3, and the conductive auxiliary element 4. The first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 are electrically connected to the power source 1 through wires (not shown). The conductive portion is provided in contact with the first electrode 2, and the insulating cover layer 43 is provided at a distance from the second electrode 3.
When in use, the first electrode 2, the second electrode 3 and the conductive auxiliary 4 are coaxially arranged, so that the conductive auxiliary 4 can stably and uniformly penetrate through the first part to be bonded 5. The first to-be-bonded device 5 and the second to-be-bonded device 6 are stacked and placed in a gap between the insulating cover layer 43 and the second electrode 3, with the first to-be-bonded device 5 and the insulating cover layer 43 being disposed in contact, and the second to-be-bonded device 6 and the second electrode 3 being disposed in contact. The power supply 1 provides electric drive, current flows from the power supply 1, the corresponding section of conducting wire, the first electrode 2 and the conducting part to the insulating covering layer 43, and insulation damage can be generated on the insulating covering layer 43 by controlling the magnitude of the current, so that the first part to be bonded 5 is melted by the impact current to form an open hole instantly, and the conducting part shielded by the insulating covering layer 43 is exposed, so that the conducting part can penetrate through the first part to be bonded 5 and is in contact with the second part to be bonded 6. At this time, the two sections of wires, the power supply 1, the first electrode 2, the conductive part, the first part to be joined 5, the second part to be joined 6 and the second electrode 3 form a current loop, the magnitude of the current is controlled again, the conductive part and the second part to be joined 6 are heated and melted by using the resistance heating principle, and finally, the energization is stopped, so that a nugget 7 is formed between the conductive part and the second part to be joined 6 after cooling, and the joining between the first part to be joined 5 and the second part to be joined 6 is completed.
The power source 1 may be a voltage source or a current source, and is not limited herein as long as it can provide electric drive. In one embodiment, the power supply 1 is a voltage source.

At least one of the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 can move in the vertical direction under the action of external force, so that on one hand, the conductive auxiliary member 4, the first member to be bonded 5 and the second member to be bonded 6 can be conveniently placed between the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 or taken out from between the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3; on the other hand, when the first electrode 2 and/or the second electrode 3 moves in the vertical direction, the conductive auxiliary 4, the first to-be-bonded member 5 and the second to-be-bonded member 6 are clamped, so that the conductive auxiliary 4 penetrates through the first to-be-bonded member 5 and is in contact with the second to-be-bonded member 6, and further extends into the second to-be-bonded member 6. In one embodiment, the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 are both movable in the vertical direction by an external force. In order to apply an external force, the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 are moved in a vertical direction without being positioned, the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 are both rotating bodies, in one embodiment, the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 are both tapered electrodes, and when the connector is used, the narrower end of the first electrode 2 faces downwards to be in contact with the conductive auxiliary member 4, and the narrower end of the second electrode 3 faces upwards to be in contact with the second to-be-bonded member 6.
Referring to fig. 3, the present invention further provides a dissimilar material joining method applied to the dissimilar material joining apparatus. Specifically, the first to-be-engaged member 5 and the second to-be-engaged member 6 are provided in a stacked arrangement. Then, the first to-be-bonded member 5 and the second to-be-bonded member 6 are placed between the conductive auxiliary member 4 and the second electrode 3, with the first electrode 2 being positioned above the conductive auxiliary member 4, the conductive auxiliary member 4 being positioned above the first to-be-bonded member 5, the first electrode 2 being in contact with the first column 41, the insulating cover layer 43 being in contact with the upper surface of the first to-be-bonded member 5, the second electrode 3 being positioned below the second to-be-bonded member 6, and the second electrode 3 being in contact with the lower surface of the second to-be-bonded member 6, so that the to-be-bonded member constituted by the conductive auxiliary member 4, the first to-be-bonded member 5, and the second to-be-bonded member 6 is sandwiched between the first electrode 2 and the. The first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 which are used for welding are electrified through the power supply 1, and external force is applied to the first electrode 2 and/or the second electrode 3 at the same time, so that the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 are close to each other, the hole opening process and the welding process are successively completed, and then the joint can be completed. After the bonding is completed, an external force is applied to the first electrode 2 and/or the second electrode 3, so that the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 are separated from each other, and the bonded body formed by the conductive auxiliary member 4, the first member to be bonded 5 and the second member to be bonded 6 after the bonding is completed can be taken out.
In the hole forming step, the control power source 1 applies a hole forming current I1And continuously opening the hole for a time T1At this stage, the current I for opening1Then, the instantaneous impact current flowing by breaking the insulating cover layer 43 melts the first to-be-bonded member 5 to form an opening, so that the second column 42 can penetrate through the first to-be-bonded member 5 through the opening under the clamping action of the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 to be in contact with the second to-be-bonded member 6. It will be understood that the current I is used if the thickness of the first part to be joined 5 is the same for each engagement1And lasts for a time T1The reproducibility of the opening can be relatively good, and if the thickness of the first part to be joined 5 differs from one part to another, I may need to be adjusted1And T1At least one of (a).
In the welding process, the power source 1 is controlled to apply a welding current I2And for a welding time T2At this stage, the current I for welding2The second cylinder 42 and the second element to be joined 6 are both partially melted, and the second cylinder 42 partially protrudes into the second element to be joined 6 under the clamping action of the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3. Time T for reaching welding2Thereafter, the power source 1 stops outputting the current, but the first electrode 2 and the second electrode 3 continue to be clamped, and the second cylinder 42 and the second to-be-joined member 6 cool down to form the nugget 7, by which the joining is completed.
