Aluminum alloy has being widely used in modern automobile and aeronautic industry. However, the welding of aluminum alloy, especially high strength aluminum alloy，is difficult. Porosities are usually brought in the weld metal. In this paper, MIG welding using mixed gas shielding is carried out. The characteristic shapes of porosity in weld metal are described, the mechanism of porosity formation is analyzed, and the factors that influence the tendency of porosity formation are studied. Experiment results indicate that by the use of mixed shielding gas of 38%He+62%Ar, the number of porosity is reduced, the width of HAZ and softened zone is decreased, and the mechanical properties of welded joint is increased.

The purpose of the present study was to discuss the effects of local solidification time and solidus velocity on porosity formation in high strength aluminum alloy casting. With systematic change in the riser size, together with variation of thickness and length, A201 aluminum alloys were cast in 100% silica sand molds. The porosity content of A201 aluminum alloy was affected by the local solidification time and solidus velocity in this study. The correlation between porosity content and solidification time is found to be split into 2 bands, each being associated with one of the two thicknesses of plate castings. The longer the solidification time, the more the porosity content was measured in the A201 aluminum alloy plate casting. And the faster the solidus velocity, the more the porosity content in this study. The porosity content of A201 aluminum alloy was influenced by both of solidification time and solidus velocity at same time in this study. Basically, shorter local solidification time with slow solidus velocity seems get lower porosity content in A201 aluminum alloy castings.

Stretching Process

The level and distribution of residual stresses have great impact on dimensional stability, while Vibratory Stress Relief (VSR) is an effective technology to relax or homogenize residual stresses. Experimental study on residual stresses distribution, residual strain energy and machining deformation of 7075 high-strength aluminum alloy thick plate under different aging process status shows that VSR can effectively decrease the amplitude and strain energy density, and enhance stability of dislocation structures and phase states in metal microscopic volume, then internal residual stresses are homogenized to enhance components’ anti-deformation capacity. In addition, the capability in maintaining dimensional stability from VSR is better than that from traditional mechanical stretching process
