Description

Laser welding method with composite powder as interlayer filler
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of dissimilar metal laser welding, in particular to a laser welding method using composite powder as an interlayer filler.
Background
The aluminum alloy has the advantages of small specific gravity, high specific strength, strong corrosion resistance, easy recovery and regeneration and the like, is widely applied in the field of automobile industry, and the use amount of the aluminum alloy in the automobile industry is rapidly increased along with the development of aluminum alloy technology and the requirement of automobile light weight in recent years. The traditional steel material is mainly applied to automobile structural parts and safety parts due to the characteristic of high strength, and is a main material in automobile manufacturing. The aluminum alloy has the advantages of low cost, high plasticity and toughness, reliable performance and the like, but the weight of the steel is 3 times of that of the aluminum alloy under the same volume. The aluminum/steel integrated structural member has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance, and has important significance for weight reduction and performance improvement of automobiles. Therefore, the high-quality and high-efficiency connection of the aluminum/steel heterogeneous materials is realized, and the aluminum/steel integrated structural member is used for replacing a single steel material structural member, so that the problem to be solved in the automobile industry is urgent at present, and the aluminum/steel heterogeneous material high-efficiency connection has a wide development prospect.
The laser welding has the advantages of high energy density, good heat source controllability, small welding deformation, capability of obtaining a weld with a larger depth-to-width ratio, attractive weld and the like, but because of larger difference of physical properties such as the heat conductivity, the linear expansion coefficient and the like of aluminum steel, brittle Fe-Al intermetallic compounds are easy to generate after welding, and the mechanical property of the joint is deteriorated. In addition, aluminum steel laser welding has another problem in that aluminum alloy has strong reflection of laser, resulting in lower laser utilization rate in welding. It is therefore desirable to invent an auxiliary welding process to address both of these issues.
Referring to the prior related technical literature, the addition of proper alloy elements between aluminum and steel can prevent the direct contact of aluminum and steel to a certain extent, regulate and control the generation of an interface Fe-Al intermetallic compound phase, thereby improving the mechanical property of the joint. However, not all alloy elements have the effect, and researches show that the addition of Cu foil (Yang Xudong, rock and Liu Jia. The influence of a copper foil intermediate layer on the quality of an aluminum/steel dissimilar metal laser butt welding joint) between aluminum and steel can inhibit the diffusion of Al to a steel side welding seam, reduce the precipitation of second phase particles in the welding seam, reduce the excessive aggregation of Fe element in the welding seam, and generate brittle phases at the same time, so that the mechanical property of the joint is reduced; alloy powders composed of various alloying elements such as Fe-B-Si powder (Wang Xiaohong, gu Xiaoyan, sun Da thousand. Research on interface characteristics of steel/aluminum dissimilar metal laser welding head), alSiCu powder (Dong H G, huW J, duan Y P, et Al Dissimilar metal joining of aluminum alloy to galvanized steel with Al-Si, al-Cu, al-Si-Cu and Zn-Al filer, etc. can be added to make the aluminum/steel interface to be flat, and the thickness of IMC is remarkably reduced.
The chinese patent with application number CN114918542A, CN115138936a describes a method of adding a powder containing nano ceramic particles to an intermediate layer of a laser welding of a dissimilar material, which can increase the laser absorptivity, increase the weld depth, improve the welding efficiency, refine the weld grains, and inhibit the formation of thermal cracks in the joint. However, this method has problems in that: in aluminum steel welding, due to unmatched physical and chemical properties of the nano ceramic and the matrix material, the suitability problem exists between the nano reinforcing phase and the reinforced matrix when the welding line is solidified, and the bonding interface is easy to become a crack source.
Aiming at the problems, the invention provides a method for performing laser welding by adding composite powder prepared by mixing AlSiCu powder and nano Mo powder on an aluminum steel overlap joint surface as an intermediate layer, wherein the AlSiCu powder can enable a weld joint interface to be flat and reduce the thickness of IMC, and compared with nano ceramic particles, the nano Mo powder has higher compatibility with a matrix material, so that the laser absorptivity is increased and the penetration width of a weld joint is increased; and the plasticity and toughness of deposited metal can be improved, brittle fracture can be reduced, and the mechanical property of the welded joint can be improved.
