Study on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir Welding Joints of In-Situ Al3Zr/AA6082 Particle-Reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composites

Study on MicroStructure and Mechanical ProPertieS of friction Stir Welding JointSof in-Situ al 3 Zr/aa6082 Particle-reinforced aluMinuM Matrix coMPoSiteS in this paper, the al-k 2 zrF 6 reaction system was used to prepare in-situ al 3 zr/aa6082 particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites by electromagnetic stirring melt reaction method, and the friction stir welding technology was used to weld the plate.the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joints were studied when the rotating speed was 14000 rpm and the welding speed was 30, 50 and 70 mm/min respectively.the results show that the weld forming quality and tensile properties of the FSW joints with welding parameters of 14000 rpm and 50 mm/min are the best, the tensile strength is 142(±0.5)mpa and the elongation is 8.2%.SEM analysis shows that the particle size of the reinforcing phase in the base metal is refined to about 5-10 μm, while that in the NZ is about 1-5 μm.The grain size in the HAZ is about 20-30 μm and in the NZ is about 5-10 μm.EBSD analysis shows that the proportion of low-angle grain boundary in the nz is 59.7% and of recrystallized grain structure is 23.65%, while the proportion of small-angle grain boundary in the Haz is 24.35% and of recrystallized grain structure is 37.18%.it provides theoretical and experimental basis for the forming and application of friction stir welding of the composite.
