Evolution of microstructures and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy weldment with TIG and Pulsed TIG process

Authors

Abstract:

Magnesium alloys are very attractive materials owing to their properties of low density, high specific strength and stiffness, good castability, and weldability. AZ31 magnesium alloys in terms of weldability has better situation than the other, so it has more applications than other magnesium alloys. In this study, TIG and pulsed TIG welding method was used to welding the AZ31 alloy and finally microstructure and mechanical properties of welds with metallography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile test were examined. The results showed that the heat input affected the size of grains that are leading to changes in mechanical properties. Sample was welded with TIG welding with minimum current has maximum strength among the samples both pulsed TIG welding and TIG method. It is observed that with increasing frequency in TIG welding, strength is reduced. Despite the same IP and IB, higher frequency has created a stronger welding. Also increases the frequency leads to more fine-grained samples, resulting in increased strength.

Effect of Thermal History on Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Prepared by Friction Stir Processing

Hot-rolled AZ31 (Mg-2.57Al-0.84Zn-0.32Mn, in mass percentage) magnesium alloy is subjected to friction stir processing in air (normal friction stir processing, NFSP) and under water (submerged friction stir processing, SFSP). Thermal history of the two FSP procedures is measured, and its effect on microstructures and mechanical properties of the experimental materials is investigated. Compared ...

Evaluation of mechanical properties of nanostructured Al 6061 alloy weldment during resistance spot welding process

In this study, The Al 6061 alloy sheets were produced by Cryorolling process and then were welded by resistance spot welding method. In this regard, the solution treated Al 6061 alloy cryorolled subsequently up to 90% reduction in thickness to produce nanostructure alloy. The cryorolled sheets were then subjected to aging treatment (130˚C-30h) in order to obtain simultaneous strength and ductil...
