Problems solved by technology

The joint strength of friction stir welded magnesium alloys, especially magnesium alloys with forged structures, is generally lower than that of the magnesium alloy base metal. One of the important reasons is that it is easy to form a specific grain orientation during friction stir welding. This orientation facilitates slip cracking during the stress process, thereby reducing the mechanical properties of friction stir welded joints in magnesium alloys

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the mechanical property of an FSW (friction stir welding) magnesium alloy joint. The method comprises the steps as follows: 1), a magnesium alloy plate is taken and is rolled, compressed or forged until the grain orientations in the magnesium alloy plate are consistent, and the grain orientations in the magnesium alloy plate is detected through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) or backscattered-electron diffraction (BSED) to obtain a magnesium alloy plate 1 of which the grain orientation is trimmed; 2), the magnesium alloy plate 1 is cut to obtain magnesium alloy plates 2 of which the grain orientations form included angles with the horizontal surface of the magnesium alloy plate respectively; and 3), and the two magnesium alloy plates 2 are butt-welded in an FSW method to obtain a magnesium alloy FSW joint with an excellent mechanical property. According to the method, before FSW, the grain orientation of the transition area of the joint is improved by adjusting the initial grain orientation of magnesium alloy, so that the mechanical property of the magnesium alloy joint is improved greatly, and the strength of the joint is close to that of base metal to ensure the application of magnesium alloy FSW piece.

Description

technical field [0001] The patent of the invention belongs to the field of welding technology, and in particular relates to a method for improving the mechanical properties of friction stir welded magnesium alloy joints by adjusting the initial grain orientation. Background technique [0002] Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-phase joining technology patent invented by the British Welding Institute in 1991. The method is to insert a specific-shaped stirring needle into the seam of the workpiece to be welded, and rotate the stirring head at high speed to make the shaft The friction between the shoulder and the stirring needle and the workpiece to be welded generates heat, so that the temperature of the material at the welded part rises and softens to a thermoplastic state, and the welded material in the thermoplastic state near the seam undergoes plastic flow under the rotating stirring of the stirring needle, and along the Relative movement occurs in the welding directi...
