Abstract
The influence of Ti and Zr, Nb alloying on the microstructures and performance of laser-welded molybdenum socket joints was investigated. Following Nb alloying, the average microhardness of the fusion zone (FZ) increased from HV 194.7 to HV 283.3. Additionally, Nb can react with O to form dispersed Nb2O5 along grain boundaries, impeding grain boundary migration and dislocation movement while reducing the content of volatile Mo oxide along these boundaries. The incorporation of Nb in FZ partially inhibits pore defects and enhances joint load- bearing capacity. In comparison to the laser-welded joints without adding Nb (LW), the tensile strength of the laser- welded joints with Nb alloying (LW-Nb) was significantly improved by approximately 69% from 327.5 to 551.7 MPa. Furthermore, the fracture mechanism of the joints transitioned from intergranular fracture to transgranular fracture.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
