Abstract
The dissimilar AZ31B/AZ61 Mg alloy joints were fabricated by pulse current-assisted friction stir welding (PCaFSW). The maximum tensile strength and elongation were 314.28 MPa and 13.66%, respectively. A micro interlocking structure was formed and the grain refinement effect was enhanced by the PCaFSW process, which was improved relative to that in the conventional FSW. The enhanced strength and plasticity with increasing pulse current were attributable to the grain refinement, weakening of texture strength, formation of nano-scale precipitates and increase of short dislocation lines. The fracture mode was transformed from a brittle fracture mode to a combined fracture mode of brittle and ductile fractures.
期刊介绍:
Science and Technology of Welding and Joining is an international peer-reviewed journal covering both the basic science and applied technology of welding and joining.
Its comprehensive scope encompasses all welding and joining techniques (brazing, soldering, mechanical joining, etc.) and aspects such as characterisation of heat sources, mathematical modelling of transport phenomena, weld pool solidification, phase transformations in weldments, microstructure-property relationships, welding processes, weld sensing, control and automation, neural network applications, and joining of advanced materials, including plastics and composites.
