During magnetic pulsed welding (MPW), a wavy interface pattern can be observed. However, this depends on the specific material combination being joined. Some combinations, e.g., steel to aluminum, simply provide undulating waves, while others, e.g., titanium to copper, provide elegant vortices. These physical features can affect the strength of the joint produced, and thus a more comprehensive understanding of the material combination effects during MPW is required. To investigate the interfacial morphology and parent material properties dependency during MPW, tubular Al1100 and various copper alloy joints were fabricated. The influence of two material properties, i.e., yield strength and density, were studied, and the interface morphology features were visually investigated. Results showed that both material properties affected the interface morphology. Explicitly, decreasing yield strength (Cu101 and Cu110) led to a wavy interface, and decreasing density (Cu110 and CP-Ti) resulted in a wave interface with a larger wavelength. Numerical analyses were also conducted in LS-DYNA and validated the interface morphologies observed experimentally. These simulations show that the effect on shear stresses in the material is the cause of the interface morphology variations obtained. The results from this research provide a better fundamental understanding of MPW phenomena with respect to the effect of material properties and thus how to design an effective MPW application.

This research aims to study the behavior of monotonic and cyclic plastic deformation on commercially pure titanium which has undergone surface treatment using the nitrogen ion implantation method. The doses of 2.0×1017 ions/cm2 and the energy of 100 keV were used to implant the nitrogen ions into the CpTi. Monotonic properties tests were performed in a laboratory air and at room temperature using ASTM E8 standard specimens. Fatigue and corrosion fatigue tests were conducted in a laboratory  air and in artificial saline solutions, at room temperature using ASTM 1801-97 specimens. Tensile tests were carried out with constant displacement rate and fatigue tests were carried under fully-reversed with stress-controlled conditions with stress amplitudes 230, 240, 250, 260, 270 and 280 MPa. The results showed the material properties of monotonic behavior for CpTi and Nii-Ti; tensile strength (σu) of 497 and 539 MPa and for 0.2% offset yield strength (σy) of 385 and 440 MPa, respectively and of cyclic behavior; cyclic strength coefficient (k’) of 568.41 and 818.64 and cyclic strain hardening exponent (n’) of 0.176 and 0.215, respectively. This study has succeeded in producing useful new material properties that will contribute to the field of material science and engineering.

A characteristic wavy morphology often appears at the joint interface of magnetic pulse welding (MPW), and an intermediate layer is formed in some metal combinations. It has been known that the wavy morphology changes mainly depend on the density difference between the metals. A sinusoidal wavy interface is formed for the combination of similar metals (Al/Al, Cu/Cu) and that of dissimilar metals having almost the same density (Cu/Ni). In contrast, a trigger-like wavy interface is formed for the combination having a large density difference (Al/Cu, Al/Fe). The difference in strength (hardness) of the solid metal is also assumed to affect the wavy interface morphology. In the present study, two metal combinations (Al/Cu and Al/Ni) were subjected to the MPW to elucidate the effect of hardness difference, since Cu and Ni have almost the same density, but different hardness. Both the MPWed Al/Cu and Al/Ni joints showed a trigger-like wave interface. The wave size (wave-height and wavelength) of Al/Ni was smaller than that of Al/Cu. In Al/Ni, the distribution of intermediate phase was more continuous tracing the outline of the wave. The numerical simulation of the wave formation process was performed using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. It was revealed that the extent of metal jet penetration into the metal in the process of joining behind the collision point was weaker in Ni than in Cu. This is considered to be due to the larger deformation resistivity of Ni, which is harder than that of Cu.
