Effect of Silicon Carbide Reinforcement in a Dissimilar-Alloy Composite Fabricated by Explosive Welding
摘要
The present study is focused on joining Al 5052 (aluminium alloy) and AZ31B (magnesium alloy) with and without silicon carbide particles (SiC(p)) through explosive welding. The scanning electron microscopy image of the weld interface reveals the formation of a molten zone and pores in the AZ31B and Al 5052 weld (without SiC(p) particles), whereas they are absent if SiC(p) is introduced between the alloys. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals Al
