Abstract
Thermomechanical treatments were carried out to improve the properties of AZ31B joints prepared by gas tungsten arc welding. The microstructures of the joints were studied by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectrometry. Tensile tests and hardness tests were performed to investigate the effects of thermomechanical treatments on the mechanical properties of the joints. It is found that the thermomechanical-treated joints show superior mechanical properties against the as-welded joints, and their ultimate tensile strength can reach more than 92% of the base material. This mainly attributes to the formation of fine equiaxed grains in the fusion zone. After thermomechanical treatments the dendrites are transformed to fine spherical grains, and the dendritic segregation can be effectively eliminated.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials (Formerly known as Journal of University of Science and Technology Beijing, Mineral, Metallurgy, Material) provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the fields of Minerals, Metallurgy and Materials. Papers dealing with minerals processing, mining, mine safety, environmental pollution and protection of mines, process metallurgy, metallurgical physical chemistry, structure and physical properties of materials, corrosion and resistance of materials, are viewed as suitable for publication.
