The invention provides a process method for
friction stir welding of aluminum-steel
dissimilar metal, and relates to the technical field of
metal connection, the process method comprises the following steps: S1,
base metal preparation: selecting an aluminum
alloy plate and a steel plate with the thickness of 1.5-3.0 mm; s2,
welding parameters are set, specifically, the rotating speed of a stirring head ranges from 1000 rpm to 1400 rpm, the
welding speed ranges from 60 mm / min to 100 mm / min, the shaft shoulder press-in depth ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm, and the dip angle of the stirring head ranges from 2 degrees to 4 degrees; s3, control over the
welding process, specifically, a stirring head enters along the side of the aluminum
alloy plate and moves at a
constant speed after preheating is conducted for 10-20 seconds, and the temperature in the whole
welding process is controlled to be 450-550 DEG C; and S4, post-welding treatment is conducted, specifically, the thickness of an
intermetallic compound (IMC) layer of an aluminum-steel interface (the connecting position between the aluminum
alloy plate and the steel plate) is controlled to be 1-4 microns, according to the technological method, by optimizing welding parameters and controlling the welding temperature and the motion trail of a stirring head, the thickness of the IMC layer is controllable, the joint strength is high, the technological stability is good, and the industrial application requirement is met.
