Abstract
Abstract The microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg–Al–Zn alloy joints by using autogenous laser beam welding (LBW) and laser-MIG hybrid welding, respectively, are investigated. The results show that the weld formation of the hybrid welding joint is relatively good, and there are mainly α-Mg matrix phases and β-Mg 17 Al 12 strengthening phases in the weld metal. The microstructure in the fusion zone (FZ) of the two joints is different. The LBW joint is composed of columnar crystal and equiaxed dendrite. The hybrid welding joint consists of fine equiaxed grains, and the grain size in the laser zone is larger than that in the arc zone. The microhardness in FZ is higher due to the precipitation of the β-Mg 17 Al 12 phase in this region. Under the optimized welding procedure, the strength coefficient of the two joints is >90%. There are many dimples on the tensile fracture surface of the hybrid welding joint, which is characterized by the pattern of the ductile fracture.
期刊介绍:
High Temperature Materials and Processes offers an international publication forum for new ideas, insights and results related to high-temperature materials and processes in science and technology. The journal publishes original research papers and short communications addressing topics at the forefront of high-temperature materials research including processing of various materials at high temperatures. Occasionally, reviews of a specific topic are included. The journal also publishes special issues featuring ongoing research programs as well as symposia of high-temperature materials and processes, and other related research activities.
Emphasis is placed on the multi-disciplinary nature of high-temperature materials and processes for various materials in a variety of states. Such a nature of the journal will help readers who wish to become acquainted with related subjects by obtaining information of various aspects of high-temperature materials research. The increasing spread of information on these subjects will also help to shed light on relevant topics of high-temperature materials and processes outside of readers’ own core specialties.
