Problems solved by technology

However, friction stir welding has strict positioning of the workpiece, and it is difficult to realize the connection of thin-walled pipe structures and complex joints
Electron beam welding and diffusion welding are also difficult to realize the welding of magnesium alloy thin-walled tubes. Brazing can realize its connection, but the joint strength is low and it is difficult to meet the use requirements.

Abstract

The invention relates to a microbeam tungsten argon arc welding method for a magnesium alloy thin-walled tube. A low-magnesium aluminum alloy welding wire is used as a filling material, and the thin-walled tube is welded by a microbeam tungsten argon arc welding process under inert gas shielding. The low-magnesium aluminum alloy welding wire comprise 9.5%-11.6% of Al (aluminum), 0.6%-1.75% of Zn (zinc), 0.15%-0.35% of Mn (manganese), 0.01%-0.05% of Cu (copper), 0.02%-0.05% of Si (silicon) and the balance Mg (magnesium) in mass percent. The microbeam tungsten argon arc welding method for the magnesium alloy thin-walled tube is high in welding efficiency and convenient and flexible in application, and can be used for obtaining a crack-free welding joint without magnesium-aluminum brittle compounds. Compared with a conventional tungsten argon arc welding method, the microbeam tungsten argon arc welding method has the advantages that arc stability of microbeam argon arc welding for the magnesium alloy thin-walled tube is obviously improved, the tensile strength of the welding joint is 30% higher than that of a conventional tungsten argon arc welding joint, the elongation of the welding joint is increased by 10%, and the use requirements of industrial production on magnesium alloy thin-walled tube welding component can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a nonferrous metal welding method, in particular to a microbeam tungsten argon arc welding method for magnesium alloy thin-walled tubes, and belongs to the field of welding technology. Background technique [0002] Magnesium alloys are light metals used in high-tech fields such as aviation, electronics, and communications. Magnesium is a non-ferrous metal that is lighter than aluminum. Its melting point (650°C), density (1.738g / cm 3 ) are lower than aluminum. Magnesium alloys have higher specific strength and specific stiffness, and have high shock resistance, and can withstand greater impact loads than aluminum alloys. Magnesium alloys also have excellent machinability, and are easy to cast and forge, so the development and application of magnesium alloys have attracted the attention of countries all over the world in recent years. [0003] Magnesium has high vapor pressure and is easy to oxidize. The welding difficulties o...
