摘要
The aluminum joints were prepared by overcasting liquid aluminum A356 onto 6101 aluminum extrusion bars. The microstructure, element distribution, hardness and tensile strength of the joint interface area were investigated, the mechanism of interface formation and fracture behavior were analyzed. The results show that good metallurgical bonding was formed in the joints by electro-plating the solid 6101 aluminum alloy with a layer of zinc coating and carefully controlling the overcasting process. There is a transition zone between the two bonded aluminum alloys, and the fine equiaxed grained structure in the transition zone is due to the high undercooling during solidification. The tensile strength of the joint interface is higher than that of the as-cast A356 aluminum alloy(about 145 MPa) and the final fracture is always located in the as-cast A356 material.
通过复合铸造的方法将液态A356铝合金与固态6101铝合金连接在一起,研究复合接头的显微组织、元素分布、硬度及拉伸性能,并分析其界面形成机理和断裂行为。结果表明:通过在固态6101铝合金表面电镀锌的方法并精确控制实验参数的条件下,可以使A356铝合金和6101铝合金之间形成冶金结合。在2种铝合金之间会形成过渡区,由于固态6101铝合金表面熔体的高过冷度,过渡区呈致密的等轴晶组织。在拉伸性能测试中,断裂位置总是在A356铸态合金内部,说明接头连接强度高于A356铸态合金的强度(145 MPa)。
