Abstract
Aluminum alloy plates with varying properties were prepared through the superposition friction stir processing of three different aluminum alloys with friction stir joining technology and subjected to solid solution aging. Experimental results showed that friction stir joining yielded a relatively smooth aluminum alloy surface gradient change plate. The plate surface presented a circular superposition trajectory with a clear outline and a rough surface with a flying edge during preparation. The three superimposed aluminum alloy plates achieved good fusion. In particular, fusion was most evident between the uppermost 5052 aluminum alloy and the middle layer of the 6061 aluminum alloy. The fusion of the middle layer of the 6061 aluminum alloy and the lower layer of the 7075 aluminum alloy weakened, and an obvious dividing line was observed. The average Vickers hardness values of the uppermost and undersurfaces of the samples heat-treated at 540°C were the highest, which were 1.34 and 119.06% higher than those of the samples without heat treatment, respectively. The most notable cross-section Vickers hardness gradient was obtained at the solution temperature of 500°C.
期刊介绍:
Strength of Materials focuses on the strength of materials and structural components subjected to different types of force and thermal loadings, the limiting strength criteria of structures, and the theory of strength of structures. Consideration is given to actual operating conditions, problems of crack resistance and theories of failure, the theory of oscillations of real mechanical systems, and calculations of the stress-strain state of structural components.
