Abstract
Magnesium alloys, which are the lightest structural alloys and have a density that is around one-fourth that of steel, present tremendous potential for increasing the energy efficiency of the automobile and aerospace industries. Research on welding magnesium alloys has also increased rapidly as can be seen from journal publications. However, during the welding process, magnesium alloys are highly susceptible to solidification cracking, which prevents their usage in safety–critical applications. The article summarizes and reviews the research progress on solidification cracking of magnesium alloys during welding. The metallurgical and mechanical factors influencing solidification cracking of magnesium alloys are the primary areas of focus in this work. Models and methods for predicting solidification cracking susceptibility of magnesium alloys during welding was developed. More interesting findings on the liquid backfilling to heal cracks and effect of weld pool on solidification cracking were pointed out. The remedies to reduce solidification cracking during welding magnesium alloys were also reviewed so as to achieve high-quality welding and widen the application of magnesium alloys.
期刊介绍:
Metals and Materials International publishes original papers and occasional critical reviews on all aspects of research and technology in materials engineering: physical metallurgy, materials science, and processing of metals and other materials. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the science of materials that are concerned with the relationships among the processing, structure and properties (mechanical, chemical, electrical, electrochemical, magnetic and optical) of materials. Aspects of processing include the melting, casting, and fabrication with the thermodynamics, kinetics and modeling.
