Butt welding-brazing of steel to aluminum by hybrid laser-CMT
摘要： A laser penetration welding-brazing combined with Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) arc, was proposed to improve weld shape and interfacial reaction inhomogeneity of 5052 aluminum alloy and Q235 low carbon steel with ER5356 welding wire in butt joint. The effects of wire feed speed, beam offset and welding speed on weld shape, interfacial microstructures and tensile strength of joints was studied. This method improved the undercut defect existed in butt laser welding-brazing, obtained well-formed joints and promoted the uniform distribution of the interface reaction. The interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs) layer consisted of Fe2Al5 and Fe4Al13 and the thicknesses were controlled to 3-5 μm. Microstructures of weld seam was composed of α-Al and Al3Mg2. The brittle IMCs layer thickened and then the tensile strength decreased with increasing the wire feed speed. The thickness of the IMCs layer decreased but weld shape became worse when the welding speed or the offset increased. The tensile strength increased first and then decreased. The highest tensile strength reached higher than 80 MPa and the joint fractured in IMCs layer along the interface.

Interface characterization and mechanical properties of dual beam laser welding-brazing Al/steel dissimilar metals
摘要： The DP590 steel to AA7075 Al-alloy with lap configuration is successfully joined by dual beam laser welding-brazing without using filler metal. Through the introduction of the derived laser beam, the wetting angle, wetting distance and the thickness of intermetallic compound (IMC) layer are well improved and controlled. It is found that the wettability of liquid Al on steel improves with the increase of laser power, i.e. the wetting angle decreasing from 25.3° to 17.8° and the wetting distance increasing from 2.17 mm to 3.19 mm as the laser power increasing from 1.0 kW to 1.6 kW. Two kinds of IMC exist at brazing interface, one is η-phase (Fe2Al5) with flatten morphology closing to the steel side and the other is θ-phase (FeAl3) with needle-like morphology adjacent to the welding-brazing seam. The thickness of IMC layer increases from 8.37 μm to 12.12 μm with increasing laser power from 1.0 kW to 1.6 kW. Tensile test shows that both the wettability and the IMC thickness have influence on the welding-brazing joint strength. Poor wettability and too thick IMC layer will result in lower strength and fracture occurred in brazing interface. The optimal joint tensile strength of 123.7 MPa on average is achieved with the laser power of 1.4 kW.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti/Al dissimilar joints produced by laser-MIG welding–brazing
摘要： We butt-welded AA6061 aluminum alloy to Ti6Al4V titanium alloy, dissimilar light metals, by using laser-MIG hybrid welding–brazing without grooves. The parameters of the laser and arc were optimized to produce sound joints with good formation and mechanical properties. The microstructure of the layer of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. We also tested the tensile strength of the joints with and without reinforcement. The morphology and thickness of the IMCs varied throughout the joints. A continuous thin layer of TiAl3 appeared on the top surface of the Ti6Al4V, on which some rod-like IMCs grew toward the fusion zone. In the upper region of the butt plane, because more heat accumulated there from the high-power laser coupled with the MIG arc, double-layer IMCs with a thickness of ～ 10.0 μm formed, composed of TiAl (near the Ti alloy) and TiAl3 (near the fusion zone). In the lower region of the butt plane, the double-layer IMCs became continuous and uniform, the serrated morphology disappeared, and the thickness of the IMC layer decreased to 4.0 μm. On the backside of the joint, the thickness of the compound layer (TiAl3) was about 1.0 μm. The average tensile strengths of the reinforced and unreinforced joints were 226 MPa and 210 MPa, respectively, which are up to 88% and 81% of the AA6061 tensile strength, respectively.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of welding–brazing of Ti/Al butt joints with laser melting deposition layer additive
摘要： Laser welding–brazing of Ti/Al butt joints was performed with coaxial Al–10Si–Mg powders feeding. The experimental results indicated that a sound Ti/Al butt joint could be obtained by an additive layer approach. The influence of the laser melting deposition layers on the weld appearance, interfacial microstructure and tensile properties were investigated. High-quality joints were produced when five and seven layers were deposited. The morphology and thickness distributions of the interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMC) at the brazing interface along the thickness direction of the joint varied with the number of deposition layers. Continuous serrated IMC was obtained in joints produced by seven deposition layers, and the IMC layer was distributed homogenously along the thickness direction. The maximum thickness difference of the IMC was only approximately 0.12 μm. The microstructure of the IMC layer was composed of a nanosized granular Ti7Al5Si12 phase and serrated Ti(Al, Si)3 phase. The maximum tensile joint strength reached 240 MPa, 80% of that of the aluminum base metal, and the lower tensile strength of the other joints was caused by insufficient IMC layer or a porosity defect.

Wettability, microstructure and properties of 6061 aluminum alloy/304 stainless steel butt joint achieved by laser-metal inert-gas hybrid welding-brazing
摘要： Laser?metal inert-gas (MIG) hybrid welding?brazing was applied to the butt joint of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and 304 stainless steel. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the joint were studied. An excellent joint-section shape was achieved from good wettability on both sides of the stainless steel. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry indicated an intermetallic compound (IMC) layer at the 6061-T6/304 interface. The IMC thickness was controlled to be ~2 μm, which was attributed to the advantage of the laser?MIG hybrid method. Fe3Al dominated in the IMC layer at the interface between the stainless steel and the back reinforcement. The IMC layer in the remaining regions consisted mainly of Fe4Al13. A thinner IMC layer and better wettability on both sides of the stainless steel were obtained, because of the optimized energy distribution from a combination of a laser beam with a MIG arc. The average tensile strength of the joint with reinforcement using laser?MIG hybrid process was improved to be 174 MPa (60% of the 6061-T6 tensile strength), which was significantly higher than that of the joint by traditional MIG process.

Residual stress and welding distortion of Al/steel butt joint by arc-assisted laser welding-brazing
摘要： The thermo-elastic?plastic finite element method (FEM) is used to simulate the thermo-mechanical behavior of Al/steel tungsten inert gas (TIG) arc-assisted laser welding-brazing (A-LWB) butt joint. The influence of material nonlinearity, geometrical nonlinearity and work hardening on the welding process is studied, and the differences in the welding temperature field, residual stress and welding distortion by A-LWB and by single laser welding-brazing (SLWB) are analyzed. The results show that the thermal cycle, residual stress distribution and welding distortion by the numerical simulation are in good agreement with the measured data by experiments, which verifies the effectiveness of FEM. Compared with the SLWB, A-LWB can make the high-temperature distribution zone of weld in width direction wider, decrease the transverse tensile stress in the weld and reduce the distribution range of longitudinal tensile stress. And the welding deformation also decreases to some extent.

Effect of helium-argon shielding gas in laser-metal inert-gas hybrid welded-brazed Al/steel dissimilar joint
摘要： Laser-metal inert-gas welding hybrid welding was applied to dissimilar butt joining of 304 stainless steel and 6063 aluminum alloy using three different shielding gas: 100% argon, 25% helium + 75% argon, and 50% helium + 50% argon. The influence of helium–argon shielding gas on the weld appearance and interfacial intermetallics layer of Al/stainless steel welding-brazing joint was discussed. The addition of helium can shrink arc, suppress laser plasma, and increase the stability of the droplet transfer process. Helium could not change the composition of the interface layer, which consists of θ-Fe(Al, Si)3 layer and τ5-Al7.2Fe1.8Si layer in the top, middle, and bottom regions of the joints. However, the interfacial intermetallics layer becomes thinner and the morphology was more uniform as the helium content changed from 0% to 50%. By analyzing the tensile fracture, it was found that the thicker θ-Fe(Al, Si)3 easily caused the fracture at the interface layer when using 100% argon. The highest tensile strength and the best ductility can be obtained by using 50% helium + 50% argon compared with that of joints obtained with 100% argon and 25% helium + 75% argon. Compared with joints welded in the pure argon atmosphere, the strength and ductility of joints increased by 18.4% and 191%, respectively.

Influence of electrodeposited Cu-Ni layer on interfacial reaction and mechanical properties of laser welded-brazed Mg/Ti lap joints
摘要： A fiber laser welding-brazing procedure has been developed for joining AZ31B magnesium alloy to Cu-Ni coated Ti-6Al-4V titanium sheet using AZ92D filler wire. The effect of the interlayer arrangements (AZ31B/Ni-Cu/Ti-6Al-4V and AZ31B/Cu-Ni/Ti-6Al-4V) on appearance, interfacial reaction and mechanical properties were investigated at different heat input. It was found that the feasibility of this process depends strongly on the pre-existing Cu-Ni layer on the Ti surface that promotes wetting of the AZ92 filler. Within the range of 1200–1600 W, defect free joints in both interlayer arrangements. Depending on the interlayer arrangements chosen, different reactions layers formed inside the joint region. Nevertheless, at optimum heat input (1400 W), Ti2Ni mingled with Ti3Al interfacial reaction products was produced along the fusion zone (FZ)-Ti brazed interface in both interlayer arrangements. The tensile-shear fracture load of the joints produced at the optimum laser power reached a maximum value of 2016.5 N for AZ31B/Ni-Cu/Ti-6Al-4V and 2014.6 N for AZ31B/Cu-Ni/Ti-6Al-4V, representing an efficiency of 71% compared to AZ31B alloy. Under suitable heat input, the joints failed at the fusion zone of the AZ31B base metal. In contrast, incomplete brazing or large volume of intermetallics at the brazed interface resulted in interfacial failure at lower/higher heat input.
