High-Temperature Baking Strengthen the Al-Mg-Si Alloy Laser-Arc Hybrid Weld Seam
摘要
The effects of the baking temperature and time on the mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si alloys laser-arc hybrid welds were investigated. Increasing the baking temperature promoted the precipitation of the nano-sized βʹ, efficiently enhancing the weld seam. Owing to this, the microhardness of the weld seam increased to 96.0 ± 2.4 HV with the high-temperature baking process (220 ℃-0.5 h), leading to a 13% increase in tensile strength. Consequently, the joint coefficient of Al-Mg-Si alloy laser-arc hybrid welded joints reached 0.7, meeting the requirements for automotive industrialization.
