Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memorandum describes the fusion-welding characteristics, mechanical properties, and stress-corrosion behavior of high-strength, weldable aluminum alloys. These are defined as alloys in which sound welds can be produced and in which at least 50 and 70 percent of the maximum base-metal strength can be retained in the as-welded and post-weld-treated conditions, respectively. Careful selection of joining method and filler metals as well as close control of joining-process parameters is necessary to produce high-strength aluminum weldments. Highest strengths and weld-joint efficiencies in high-strength weldable alloys are achieved with the use of postweld aging and/or mechanical treatments. The best combination of highest strengths and good welding characteristics is found in the 2000 and 7000 alloy series. As compared with the 2000 and 5000 alloy series, the 7000 alloy as a class suffer three major property disadvantages: (1) their tendency to be notch sensitive, (2) their tendency to exhibit low toughness at low temperatures, and (3) their much greater susceptibility to stress-corrosion cracking. Nonetheless, several relatively new 7000 series alloys have been developed which show reasonably good notch toughness to -423 F and which are considered competitive with the 2219 and 2014 alloys for cryogenic applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this program was to develop methods for improving the strengths of joints in high-strength aluminum alloys. Details of the work during the period May 1, 1949, to October 31, 1949, are also presented. The all-weld-metal strength properties and the aging characteristics were determined for welds made between copper dams and in alloy base plates with aluminum-magnesium alloys containing from 5 to 15 per cent magnesium. Transverse tensile tests of joints made in 61S-T6, 24S-T4, and 75S-T6 plates with these alloys were also carried out. Some cold-welding tests were made. The major effort during the third contract period was devoted to testing two series of aluminum-alloy filler metals. One of these series was based on the Frontier 40E composition (5.5% Zn, 0.5% Mg, 0.2% Ti, 0.5% Cr), the other was a series of aluminum-magnesium alloys covering the range from 5 to 15 per cent magnesium.

Download or read book Aluminum Lithium Alloys written by G. Madhusudhan Reddy and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-09-20 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of aluminium-lithium alloys over a wide range of engineering technologies will require development of both effective methods for joining these materials and through understanding of their welding metallurgy. This chapter covers the pertinent literature regarding the weld metal porosity, susceptibility to cracking during welding, eqiaxed zone formation and associated fusion boundary cracking, mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour of welds. Microstructural modification is especially attractive for alloys with pronounced hot cracking susceptibility. Aluminum–lithium alloys are one such class of materials. Since the hot cracking tendency is known to be a function of weld metal composition, several crack resistant filler materials such as AA 2319, AA 4043 and AA 5356 are in common use. While primary approach to the problem is thus to modify weld metal chemistry, a secondary solution is to reduce the coarseness of the solidification structure. Of the various techniques available for modifying the structure, pulsed current, magnetic arc oscillation techniques of gas tungsten arc welding and inoculation using grain refining additions offers the greatest promise for practical applications. Improving weldability of these alloys through modification of fusion zone microstructure are covered in this chapter. Lastly, solid state welding processes such as friction and friction stir welding of Al-Li alloys are briefly discussed.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising demand for improved fuel economy and structural efficiency are the key factors for use of aluminum alloys for light weighting in aerospace industries. Precipitation strengthened 2XXX and 7XXX aluminum alloys are the key aluminum alloys used extensively in aerospace industry. Welding and joining is the critical step in manufacturing of integrated structures. Joining of precipitation strengthened aluminum alloys using conventional fusion welding techniques is difficult and rather undesirable in as it produces dendritic microstructure and porosities which can undermine the structural integrity of weldments. Friction stir welding, invented in 1991, is a solid state joining technique inherently benefitted to reduces the possibility of common defects associated with fusion based welding techniques. Weldability of various 2XXX and 7XXX aluminum alloys via friction stir welding was investigated. Microstructural and mechanical property evolution during welding and after post weld heat treatment was studied using experimental techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, hardness testing, and tensile testing. Various factors such as peak welding temperature, cooling rate, external cooling methods (thermal management) which affects the strength of the weldment were studied. Post weld heat treatment of AL-Mg-Li alloy produced joint as strong as the parent material. Modified post weld heat treatment in case of welding of Al-Zn-Mg alloy also resulted in near 100% joint efficiency whereas the maximum weld strength achieved in case of welds of Al-Cu-Li alloys was around 80-85% of parent material strength. Low dislocation density and high nucleation barrier for the precipitates was observed to be responsible for relatively low strength recovery in Al-Cu-Li alloys as compared to Al-Mg-Li and Al-Zn-Mg alloys.

Download or read book Theory of Weldability of Metals and Alloys written by Ivan Hrivňák and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the behaviour of metals and alloys during welding. In the first part the heat flow in arc welding processes is discussed. The weld thermal cycle is explained in terms of heat input, and the geometry of weld and thicknesses to be welded. The real welding cycle is described in terms of thermal and strain cycles. The weld metal is characterized in terms of fusion stage, absorption of gases and stage of metal crystallization and structural transformation. The metallurgical background of cracking is described by a full set of crackability tests along with the evaluation of metals from the point of view of crackability. Post welding heat treatment is reviewed, and includes the relaxation of stresses induced by welding. Guidelines are given for the selection of steels for welded structures. Several chapters examine the weldability of particular steels, including high strength steels, stainless steels, high alloyed steels, cryogenic steels and other metals and alloys. The theories are quantified in the form of calculations or computing programmes. Readers will find sufficent data for software processing.
