The aim of this paper is to study the feasibility of welding dissimilar aluminum alloys AA6061 and AA7075 using different types of filler metals which are ER4043 and ER5356. The tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding method was used to butt joint these alloys. The effect of ER4043 (Si-rich) and ER5356 (Mg-rich) on weldability of the joint were studied through visual appearance, microstructures and hardness. It was found that, welding using filler ER5356 produced deeper penetration compared to filler ER4043. The depth of penetration obtained using filler ER5356 was 1.74 mm, while only 0.9 mm of penetration was obtained using ER4043. Microstructures at different zones of dissimilar TIG joints such as the fusion zone (FZ), the partially melted zone (PMZ) and the heat affected zone (HAZ) were identified. The grain size at FZ from filler ER5356 samples was finer compared to filler ER4043 which was 11.4 µm and 19.5 µm, respectively. The average hardness welding value of filler ER5356 samples was higher compared to filler ER4043 samples, which were 100HV and 86HV, respectively at HAZ of AA 6061, 110HV and 88HV, respectively at FZ, while 113HV and 85HV, respectively at HAZ of AA 7075. It can be concluded that TIG welding using the ER5356 filler yields better joint compared to ER4043.

Dissimilar Aluminum Alloys

Microstructural characterization and temperature analysis have been performed in friction stir welding (FSW) of A383 and 5052 dissimilar aluminum alloys. Marked difference in microstructure was observed between joints with different arrangements of materials. The temperature at four points on each side of the joint line was measured during FSW in various conditions. In addition, an analytical model assumed that the work generated by the rotation of the tool led to the work for stirring materials and heat generation of the material and the tool. The temperature of the retreating side (RS) for the joint of the advancing side (AS):A383/RS:5052 was about 50K higher than that of AS, while the temperatures of AS and RS for the joint of AS:5052/RS:A383 were almost the same. The experimental temperature could be calculated reasonably by using the model with assumption of the work for stirring the material.

Mechanical And Tribological Characteristics

Purpose Dissimilar materials found applications in the structural fields to withstand the different types of loads and provide multi-facet properties to the final structure. Aluminum alloy materials are mostly used in aerospace and marine industries to provide better strength and safeguard the material from severe environmental conditions. The purpose of this study is to develop new material with superior strength to challenge the severe environmental conditions. Design/methodology/approach In the present investigation, friction stir welding (FSW) dissimilar joints were prepared from AA6061 and AA5083 aluminum alloys, and the weld nugget (WN) was reinforced with hard reinforcement particles such as La2O3 and CeO2. The tribological and mechanical properties of the prepared materials were tested to analyze the suitability of material in the aerospace and marine environmental conditions. Findings The results showed that the AA6061–AA5083/La2O3 material exhibited better mechanical and tribological characteristics. The FSW dissimilar AA6061–AA5083/La2O3 material exhibited lower wear rate of 7.37 × 10−3 mm3/m and minimum friction coefficient of 0.31 compared to all other materials owing to the reinforcing effect of La2O3 particles and the fine grains formed by FSW process at WN region. Further, FSW dissimilar AA6061–AA5083/La2O3 material displayed a maximum tensile strength and hardness of 378 MPa and 118 HV, respectively, among all the other materials tested. Originality/value This work is original and novel in the field of materials science engineering focusing on tribological characteristics of friction stir welded dissimilar aluminum alloys by the reinforcing effect of hard particles such as La2O3 and CeO2.
