Forming control and the relationship between microstructure and mechanical property in TIG-assisted friction stir welded joint of Ti-6Al-3Nb-2Zr-1Mo titanium alloy
Abstrak
In this paper, T-joints of Ti-6Al-3Nb-2Zr-1Mo titanium alloy were joined with friction stir welding, and microstructure evolution and forming mechanism were studied. The effect of using tungsten inert gas welding to heat additionally the FSW was investigated. Results show a strong effection microstructure of stir zone (SZ) due to the temperature gradient and fast cooling rate. The top and middle sections of SZ have a basketweave microstructure, while there is duplex microstructure at the bottom. When welding at 750 rpm-50 mm/min, the maximum tensile strength of the joint is similar to that of the base metal (BM). As the heat input increases, grain coarsening occurs, which reduces the joint tensile strength and the ability to plastically deform. The fracture mode changes from mixed fracture to ductile one. When TIG-assisted heat source is 20 mm in front of the tool and the power input is in 600 W, the temperature field produced is relatively uniform, which has a positive effect on the weld.
