Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving the quality of an Al-Cu dissimilar metal friction stir welding butt joint. The method specifically comprises the steps that the edges of butt-joint sidesof an aluminum welding part and a copper welding part used for welding are firstly machined into engaged sawtooth sides, then the welding parts on the two sides are in butt joint along the sawtooth sides, and then friction stir welding is carried out. The treatment method is simple, only simple machining is needed, and cost is low; welding seam forming of Al-Cu dissimilar metal friction stir welding can be obviously improved, and the metal mixing degree and the plastic flow behavior of Al-Cu dissimilar metal in the welding process are improved; and meanwhile, the area of an Al-Cu welding interface is increased, the bearing capacity of the joint is increased, the distribution state of a brittle IMC along the interface is changed, and the mechanical performance of the joint is obviously improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of friction stir welding of heterogeneous metals, and in particular relates to a method for improving the quality of friction stir welding butt joints of Al-Cu heterogeneous metals. Background technique [0002] FSW technology is a solid phase welding technology invented by the British Welding Institute (TWI) in 1991. FSW shows great advantages in addition to welding aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, copper alloys, titanium alloys, etc., and has greater advantages in welding dissimilar metals than other methods. Al-Cu heterogeneous welded joints have broad application prospects in the fields of power electronics and automotive engineering, but there are still great technical problems in Al-Cu welding that have not been resolved, such as poor welding formation and serious sticking of aluminum by the stirring head during welding As a result, the welding process cannot continue, the joint strength is low and there is b...
