The invention discloses a friction stir additive manufacturing method for an aluminum steel
composite structure, relates to the field of heterogeneous material connection, aims to solve the problems of large interface stress and low joint strength in aluminum steel
composite structure manufacturing, and comprises the following steps: carrying out mechanical
polishing and cleaning on the surface of a steel plate before additive manufacturing; preparing a mechanical
interlocking structure on the to-be-compounded surface; electrically driven
silicon-
magnesium co-
permeation is carried out on the surface of the steel plate with the mechanical
interlocking structure; a stirring friction additive manufacturing method is adopted, and multi-channel and multi-layer aluminum
alloy deposition is carried out to reach the needed height; and the aluminum-steel
composite structure transition joint is obtained through
machining subtractive manufacturing. According to the method, through interface mechanical
interlocking and
silicon-
magnesium co-penetration metallurgical connection, interface
residual stress caused by difference of
thermal expansion coefficients of the aluminum steel is relieved, excessive
diffusion between the aluminum steel is inhibited, and interface
brittleness caused by formation of excessive
intermetallic compounds is avoided. The method not only can be applied to manufacturing of the aluminum-steel composite structure, but also can be popularized and applied to reliable manufacturing of an aluminum-
titanium composite structure, a
magnesium-steel composite structure and the like.
