Abstract
The present work deals with assessment of tensile strength, hardness, fracture behavior and microstructural changes in welded Al-6061 plates. MIG welding has been done with filler rod whereas no filler metal has been applied during TIG welding for comparing the results with FSW, a filler-less solid-state welding. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of MIGW sample has been found 75% and 111% higher than that of FSW and TIGW samples respectively. Also, the elongation shown by MIG joint is nearly 50% higher than that of other two welds. The tensile properties of two non-filler welds, i.e., FSW and TIG have been found similar. The fractography results have established the ductile behavior of all the three joints. The primary phase (bright Al-grains) of base metal zone (BM) with thin solid boundary has changed into thick dendritic shapes in the welded zone (WZ). Also, the coarse secondary phase of BM has converted into fine particle in WZ under the influence of rapid cooling. The WZ has been reported harder than HAZ in MIG and FSW plates whereas the HAZ of TIGW plate has been found harder than WZ due to accumulation of fine equiaxed secondary phase.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
