Dissimilar-Metal Joining Using Several Types of High-Speed Solid-State Welding Methods

Article Preview

Abstract:

Solid-state welding is useful to join dissimilar metal couples, in particular, with a large difference in physical and mechanical properties. However, conventional solid-state welding methods such as diffusion welding and roll bonding are not necessarily applicable to all metal combinations. In addition, they are time-consuming. In the present study, various dissimilar metal joints (e.g. Al/Fe, Al/Cu, Al/Ni, A2024/A5052, A6022/steel, A6022/Plated steel, A2024/AZ80) were fabricated by using several types of high-speed solid-state welding methods; friction stir spot welding, advanced stud welding and impact welding. The strength and characteristic interfacial morphology of the joints were investigated, and each joining mechanism is discussed. In particular, for the impact welding, both experimental and numerical analyses were performed. Two metal sheets were obliquely collided at a very high speed and joined by magnetic pressure or explosive force. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used to simulate the impact welding process. The emission of metal jet and the evolution of characteristic wavy interface at the joint interface could be clearly visualized. The effects of collision angle, collision velocity and difference in density of the metals on the wave morphology were revealed.
