Authors ultrasonically welded A6061 aluminum alloy sheet using two types of weld tips with the different contact face geometry, and investigated the effect of the weld tip geometry on the performance and the interface structure of welds. One type of tip has a cylindrical contact face without knurl, which is called C-tip in this study. The other type of tip has flat contact face with knurl, which is called K-tip in this study. The strength of the joints welded using C-tip was higher than that welded using K-tip and the C-tip could stably produce the higher strength joint.

R Value

The texture, microstructure, plastic strain ratio r value, elongation, strain hardening index n, the value of cupping test IE, and the correlation between r value and the other formability indices of two automotive aluminum alloys sheet 6016 and 6181, and commercial pure aluminum sheet were investigated. The results showed that the recrystallization textures of three aluminum alloys sheet are similar to each other, which mainly contain cube component. However, the r and n value, elongation, and IE of three aluminum alloys sheet are different from each other evidently, and there is no correlation between texture and r value, and the other formability indices except the n value. The large quantity of second-phase particles in the aluminum alloy matrix has very important effect on both the r value and the formability of aluminum alloy sheet.

Impact Welding

Studies on electromagnetic impact welding between similar or dissimilar flat sheet metals using the flat one turn coil have been recently achieved. In this study, three dimensional electromagnetic-mechanical coupled numerical simulations are performed for the electromagnetic impact welding of aluminum alloy sheets with flat rectangular one turn coil. The deformation behavior during impact welding was examined. The effect of process parameters such as charge voltage, standoff distance and gap distance were investigated.

Aluminum Alloy Sheet

This paper presents the main achievements of a research project aimed at investigating the applicability of the hot stamping technology to non heat treatable aluminium alloys of the 5052 H32 and heat treatable aluminium alloys of the 6016 T4P after six months natural aging. The formability and mechanical properties of 5052 H32 and 6016 T4P aluminum alloy sheets after six months natural aging under different temperature conditions were studied, the processing characteristics and potential of the two aluminium alloy at room and elevated temperature were investigated. The results indicated that the 6016 aluminum alloy sheet exhibit better mechanical properties at room temperature. 5052 H32 aluminum alloy sheet shows better formability at elevated temperature, and it has higher potential to increase formability by raising the temperature.
