Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an additive friction stir welding device and method, belonging to the field of steel-aluminum dissimilar metal welding technology. Background Technology
[0002] New energy vehicles have become a major direction for the transformation and development of the global automotive industry and an important engine for promoting sustained global economic growth, leading to breakthroughs in common energy-saving technologies for lightweight vehicles. A 1.0% reduction in overall vehicle weight reduces harmful gas emissions by 1.0%, and lowers electricity / fuel consumption by 0.6-0.8%. Most automotive brands utilize steel-aluminum dissimilar metal composite structures, achieving weight reductions of over 40% compared to steel bodies, while also ensuring high-strength safety design and significantly improving electric range / fuel efficiency. However, the welding technology of steel and aluminum dissimilar metals, a key aspect of lightweight structural performance, remains unresolved. The significant differences in their thermophysical properties and poor chemical compatibility result in common key challenges in steel-aluminum welded joints, including weak interfacial bonding, poor load-bearing capacity, and low yield.
[0003] Friction stir welding (FSW), a solid-state joining method, utilizes the high-speed rotation of the welding tool to generate heat through friction with the workpiece, forming a thermoplastic material layer. As the welding tool and workpiece move relative to each other, the thermoplastic metal continuously forming in front is transferred to the rear of the welding tool, filling the cavity there, and forming a dense weld under the pressure of the shoulder. This technology features low heat input, short high-temperature dwell time, and minimal welding deformation. It effectively avoids defects such as cracks and porosity caused by the melting-solidification process and is largely unaffected by the material's physical and chemical properties and structure. It has significant advantages in overcoming the welding difficulties caused by the differences in the physical and chemical properties of dissimilar materials and has become a hot research direction in dissimilar metal welding. However, when using FSW to weld steel and aluminum dissimilar metals, significant inhomogeneity in microstructure and properties still exists, making them prone to unexpected failures under complex loads.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an additive friction stir welding device and method for steel and aluminum dissimilar metals to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Specific Implementation Method Five: Combining Figure 1-3 This embodiment describes a steel-aluminum dissimilar metal additive friction stir riveting device, wherein the bottom end of the screw portion 203 and the shoulder portion 103 are located on the same plane.

[0039] Specific implementation method seven: Combination Figure 1-4 This embodiment describes a steel-aluminum dissimilar metal additive friction stir riveting method, employing the aforementioned steel-aluminum dissimilar metal additive friction stir riveting device, and includes the following steps:
[0040] Step 1: Pre-welding preparation
[0041] The additive friction stir welding method is a butt joint, and the welded steel plate 3 and the welded aluminum plate 4 have the same thickness. Blind riveting holes 301 with equal spacing are machined on one side of the welded steel plate 3, and the butt joint surface is machined into a bevel 302 with the same generatrix angle as the stirring pin 204. At the same time, the welded aluminum plate 4 needs to be machined into an inverted bevel to ensure that the butt joint interface of the welded steel plate 3 and the welded aluminum plate 4 can be in complete contact. This invention, through the design of blind riveting holes on the steel side and additive friction stir welding design, and the introduction of a local flow guiding scheme, takes into account both the welding metallurgy and riveting mechanical connection dual load-bearing modes of steel-aluminum dissimilar metal joints, and realizes the reliable connection of steel-aluminum dissimilar metal joints. It effectively solves the common key problems of weak interface bonding, poor load-bearing capacity, uneven microstructure and properties, and low yield in steel-aluminum dissimilar metal welding.
[0042] Step Two: Welding process, including the following steps:
[0043] Step 2.1: Non-rotating component 1 and rotating component 2 are installed coaxially. The shoulder 103 of the non-rotating component and the end face of the screw 203 of the rotating component should be flush. The rotating component 2 rotates at high speed.
[0044] Step 2.2: The stirring needle 204 is inserted into the junction of the steel plate 3 and the aluminum plate 4 to be welded. At this time, the additive raw material wire 5 is continuously fed from the wire feeding slot 10201 of the non-rotating component at a certain rate. Under the squeezing and conveying action of the screw part 203 of the rotating component, it is pushed to the vicinity of the stirring needle 204 of the rotating component. Under the guidance of the local guide groove 10203 of the non-rotating component, it actively converges towards the steel plate 3 to be welded. Under the strong plastic deformation action of the stirring needle 204, it fills the steel side riveting hole 301 to form the weld reinforcement layer 6. The present invention can realize the adjustment of the additive raw material wire composition, further suppress the tendency of steel-aluminum dissimilar metal welding defects, and improve the joint strength and toughness.
[0045] Step 2.3: Non-rotating component 1 and rotating component 2 move synchronously along the direction of the weld seam for steel-aluminum butt joint (butt joint interface). While realizing the metallurgical connection of the steel-aluminum dissimilar metal interface, they continuously fill the steel side riveting hole 301 to achieve the riveting mechanical connection, and finally form a complete steel-aluminum dissimilar metal additive friction stir riveting joint.
[0046] Step 3: Post-weld treatment
[0047] Depending on the actual working conditions, the option may be to remove or not remove the excess weld layer 6 by machining and milling.
[0048] Specific implementation method eight: Combination Figure 1-4This embodiment describes a steel-aluminum dissimilar metal additive friction stir riveting method. In step one, after machining the bevel 302, a portion of the side of the blind riveting hole 301 is exposed, but not exceeding half. The stirring pin 204 is frustum-shaped, used to stir and thermoplasticize the aluminum alloy plate 4 to achieve a metallurgical connection with the steel sidewall 302, while simultaneously driving the thermoplasticized additive raw material wire 5 to fill the steel side riveting hole 301 and form the weld reinforcement layer 6. The generatrix angle of the stirring pin 204 is 5-20°. The weld reinforcement layer 6 serves to prevent direct contact and frictional wear between the steel rotating component 2 and the surface 3 of the steel being welded, so that the steel welding tool can complete the butt joint connection of steel and aluminum dissimilar metals, reducing the cost of welding tool use and increasing the service life of the welding tool.
[0049] In step two, in step 2.1, the rotation direction of the rotating component 2 is opposite to the rotation direction of the feeding thread 20301; in step 2.2, when inserting, it should be ensured that the side wall of the stirring needle 204 basically coincides with the interface (bevel) of the steel-aluminum butt joint or the distance is not greater than 0.1mm, and the shoulder 103 of the non-rotating component is 0.1 to 0.8mm away from the surface of the steel plate 3 or the aluminum plate 4 to be welded; the additive raw material wire 5 is an aluminum alloy welding wire with a diameter of 1.2 to 3.0mm, and in order to improve the welding strength and toughness of the steel-aluminum dissimilar joint, a high silicon content welding wire with a silicon content of >10% can be used.

Those skilled in the art can exhaust all possibilities based on the mathematical knowledge of permutation and combination. Therefore, the present invention will not describe the technical solutions after permutation and combination one by one, but it should be understood that the technical solutions after permutation and combination have been disclosed by the present invention.
[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art.
