Weldability Investigations of AlCuMg Alloys for Extrusion Welding The extrusion of hollow shapes from high strength aluminum alloys with the use of porthole dies encounters, in practice, great difficulties, mainly due to the poor weldability of these materials and the high forces needed to conduct the process. In the work, an original method and a special device are presented, which enable to determine the welding conditions of hard deformable aluminum alloys. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it simulates the conditions occurring in the welding chamber of the porthole dies. The weldability tests were performed for the 2024 alloy with extreme contents of Cu and Mg, in a wide range of welding temperatures and pressures. The microstructure and the seam welds' strength were also examined. The welding conditions for 2024 alloy, which allowed for obtaining high-quality seam welds were determined. The parameter describing the ability to weld was defined as the stress necessary for the welding to the yield stress ratio (σw/k) and was determined for the analyzed alloys. The obtained welding stress values will be the basis for the porthole die design.

X-ray microanalysis and Convergent Beam Electron Diffraction (CBD) studies were conducted to characterize the second phase particles in two commercial aluminum alloys -- 7075 and 7475. The second phase particles studied were large (approximately 2-5μm) constituent phases and relatively fine ( ∼ 0.05-1μn) dispersoid particles, Figures 1A and B. Based on the crystal structure and chemical composition analyses, the constituent phases found in these alloys were identified to be Al7Cu2Fe, (Al,Cu)6(Fe,Cu), α-Al12Fe3Si, Mg2Si, amorphous silicon oxide and the modified 6Fe compounds, in decreasing order of abundance. The results of quantitative X-ray microanalysis of all the constituent phases are listed in Table I. The data show that, in almost all the phases, partial substitution of alloying elements occurred resulting in small deviations from the published stoichiometric compositions of the binary and ternary compounds.

Powder metallurgy (P/M) process has the advantage of better formability to fabricate complex shape products without machining and welding. And recently this P/M process has been applied to the production of aluminum alloys. The P/M aluminum alloys thus produced also have received considerable interest because of their fine and homogeneous structure. Many papers have been published on the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloys produced by P/M process while there have been few on their corrosion properties from the view point of electrochemistry. In this experiment, therefore, two kinds of 7075 aluminum alloys prepared by the conventional ingot metallurgy (I/M) process and P/M process were used, I/M material is commercially available. and their corrosion behavior were investigated through the electrochemical tests such as potentiodynamic polarization test, slow rate strain tensile (SSRT) test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement under SSRT test in the corrosion solution and the deionized water.
