The results show that TiN/Ti refiner exhibits excellent grain refining performances on pure Al. With an addition of 0.2% TiN/Ti refiner, the average grain size of pure Al decreases to 82 μm, which is smaller than that of pure Ti and Al 5Ti 1B master alloy as refiners. The microstructure of weld joint of pure Al with 0.1% TiN/Ti refiner is fine equiaxed grains and the hardness of weld joint is higher than that of the base metal. For pure Al with 40% cold deformation and recrystallization at 250 °C for 1.0 h, the grains of the sample added 0.1% Ti powder have an obvious grain growth behavior. In contrast, oriented grains caused by deformation have been eliminated, and there is no obvious grain growth in pure Al refined with 0.1% TiN/Ti refiner, indicating that nano TiN in the refiner inhibits the growth of grain during recrystallization.展开更多

Arc-excited ultrasonic energy refines grains of the welds and more acicular ferrite （ AF） appears in the fusion zone. It also enhances impact toughness of the joints at -70 ℃ significantly. With the ultrasonic of 50 kHz, the toughness is improved by 47% in the fusion zone and by 82% in the heataffected zone （HAZ）. The fractography of welds shows that the fracture is changed from cleavage fracture to gliding fracture while applying ultrasonic vibration.展开更多

The mechanisms of grooving corrosion and the factors influencing grooving corrosion susceptibility were identified by electrochemical measurement, microstructure observation, residual stress examination, micro-region composition and orientation analysis. The CO2 corrosion results show that the corrosion resistance of the base material is the best, followed by heataffected zone and the welded seam is the worst. The grooving corrosion occurred in the welded seam, and the grooving corrosion susceptibility of welded seam is relativity high. The dominated reason for the grooving corrosion of the electric resistance welded joint is the notable inclusions consisting of MnS as the main content in the welded seam. The proportion of high-angle grain boundaries in the welding zone is higher than that of base metal and the heat affected zone, which plays an important role in the corrosion behavior of the welded seam.展开更多
