Figure 1
[0003] In the process of building a real ship, when the composite layer structure is welded with the aluminum superstructure and the steel deck, the welding heat in the process increases the temperature of the interface of the pure aluminum or pure titanium layer, and the performance of the interface of the pure aluminum or pure titanium layer decreases with the increase of the temperature. The thickness combination type of the aluminum-steel composite steel piece widely used in ship engineering is that the thickness of the aluminum alloy is 8-10 mm, the thickness of the pure aluminum (pure titanium) is 2-6 mm, and the thickness of the steel layer is 10-20 mm. The existing welding seam is close to the pure aluminum or pure titanium layer, which causes great damage to the performance of the interface of the pure aluminum or pure titanium layer during welding, and the pull-off performance after welding is generally damaged by about 25%. In addition, the composite layer structure needs to be welded with 4 welding seams in the building process, and the heat generated by each welding seam damages the performance of the material, and the welding efficiency is low. According to the design requirements of the composite material for ship engineering, the width of the square composite layer structure is generally not less than 4 times the width of the aluminum plate welded therewith, but such design is not conducive to the lightweight requirement of the ship. Finally, the aluminum-steel composite steel piece is composed of dissimilar metals, and electrochemical corrosion occurs in a humid environment, so coating protection is required during the building and service of the real ship.
