Abstract

The microstructure evolution, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) performance, and corrosion behavior of Al–Mg-Sc alloy friction stir welded (FSW) joint were investigated. The microstructure observations indicated that compared with the base metal (BM), the stirring zone (SZ) and thermo-mechanical affected zone (TMAZ) showed notable grain defects and an enormous number of high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs). Additionally, a more conspicuous presence of non-uniform recrystallized grains and HAGBs was noticed in the thickness direction within the SZ. FSW process induced the precipitation of Al₃Mg₂ (β phase) at grain boundaries in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of joint. The microstructural changes and precipitation induced by the FSW process influenced the electrical conductivity, resulting in the differences in micro-arc discharge in various zones of the FSW joint in MAO process, which in turn affected the thickness, porosity, and corrosion resistance of MAO ceramic film. HRTEM observation suggested that a transition layer composed of nanocrystalline and amorphous Al₂O₃ with average thickness of 2–4 nm was found at the film/substrate interface. Electrochemical tests suggested that a heterogeneous structure in various regions of FSW joint resulted in varying susceptibility to localized corrosion. HAZ/TMAZ had the worst anti-corrosion performance. After MAO treatment, the anti-corrosion performance of SZ and HAZ/TMAZ in FSW joint was significantly improved, especially SZ.

Al-Mg-Sc 合金 FSW 接头的微观结构、MAO 性能、界面特性和腐蚀行为

研究了铝镁钪合金搅拌摩擦焊（FSW）接头的微观组织演变、微弧氧化（MAO）性能和腐蚀行为。显微组织观察结果表明，与母材（BM）相比，搅拌区（SZ）和热机械影响区（TMAZ）出现了明显的晶粒缺陷和大量高角度晶界（HAGB）。此外，在 SZ 内的厚度方向上，非均匀再结晶晶粒和 HAGB 的存在更为明显。在接头热影响区（HAZ）的晶界处，FSW 过程诱发了 Al3Mg2（β 相）的析出。FSW 过程引起的微观结构变化和析出影响了导电性，导致 MAO 过程中 FSW 接头不同区域的微弧放电存在差异，进而影响了 MAO 陶瓷膜的厚度、孔隙率和耐腐蚀性。HRTEM 观察表明，在薄膜/基底界面上发现了由纳米晶和无定形 Al2O3 组成的过渡层，平均厚度为 2-4 nm。电化学测试表明，FSW 接头不同区域的异质结构导致对局部腐蚀的敏感性不同。HAZ/TMAZ 的抗腐蚀性能最差。经过 MAO 处理后，SZ 和 HAZ/TMAZ 在 FSW 接头中的抗腐蚀性能明显改善，尤其是 SZ。
