Detailed Description
The heat input of the joint can be reduced through the forced cooling effect of flowing water or water spraying and the like, so that the growth of crystal grains and the coarsening of a precipitation phase in the welding process are inhibited. The 7 xxx series aluminum alloy is taken as a heat-treatable strengthened aluminum alloy, and the type, distribution, size and the like of a joint precipitated phase can be regulated and controlled by a postweld heat treatment method, so that the performance of the joint is improved. The dissolving process of the precipitation phase in the welding process is equivalent to solid solution treatment, and after the welding is finished, the precipitation strengthening phase is separated out and grows from the supersaturated solid solution. Natural Aging (NA) is to naturally release internal stress of a workpiece to eliminate or reduce residual stress when the workpiece is placed outdoors or the like. Artificial Aging (AA) can re-precipitate fine precipitated phases in the joint, and is an effective method for improving the joint performance.
The present invention is described in further detail below.
