摘要
Friction stir welding (FSW) of aluminum alloys is currently utilized in several modern industries. The joints must have sufficient elastic?plastic response and formability levels similar to that of the base metal. In this work, double-sided FSW of AA6061 sheet was compared with its conventional single-sided one. An adjustable tool with different pin lengths (50%?95% of the sheet thickness) was used to perform the double-sided welds. Macro- and micro-structures, strength, and hardness of the joints were investigated to determine the optimum pin penetration depth. The best results were obtained for a double-sided joint made by a pin length equal to 65% of the sheet thickness, which showed an increase of 41% in the ultimate tensile strength compared with the single-sided joint.
铝合金搅拌摩擦焊已应用于多个工业领域。搅拌摩擦焊的焊接接头须具有优异的弹塑性及与基体金属相似的变形性能。在本研究中,将双面搅拌摩擦焊与传统的单面板进行对比。采用具有不同搅拌针长度(搅拌针长度为合金板厚度的50%~95%)的可调节工具对合金板材进行双面搅拌摩擦焊。研究焊接接头的宏观、微观形貌,强度和硬度以确定搅拌针的最佳插入深度。结果表明,当搅拌针长度为合金板厚度的65%时,双面搅拌摩擦焊焊接接头的极限抗拉强度比单面搅拌摩擦焊接接头的极限抗拉强度提高了41%。
