Abstract
The influence of transverse magnetic field (MF) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti6321 alloy welding joints is studied. The influence of MF on welding arc and molten pool flow is explored by combining simulation and experiment. Adding transverse MF increases the width of fusion and depth of fusion of the joint, and the size of α’ in the joint is significantly reduced. Applying MF during welding can enhance the microhardness of the WZ, which increases from 293.6 HV to 310.7 HV. Applying MF during welding can increase the tensile strength of the WZ, which increases from 845.1 MPa to 883.3 MPa, and the plasticity increases from 12.9 to 13.5%. The addition of alternating MF produces Lorentz force, which causes the arc to oscillate periodically, promoting side wall fusion. The Lorentz force causes the molten pool to flow, increasing convection and reducing temperature gradient. This refines the grains and reduces the residual stress of the WZ, improving the tensile strength and elongation of the WZ.
期刊介绍:
Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
