Texture in Welded Industrial Aluminum

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this investigation, grain orientation has been studied in an industrial aluminium Al99.5 which has been welded by TIG process. The optical microscopy and EBSD (Electron Back Scattered Diffraction) were the main techniques used to illustrate the effect of welding on grain orientation in fusion zone and in heat affected zone. Epitaxial growth has been observed in weld joint and texture of each zone has been determined. On the other hand, the effect of isothermal heat treatment at 400 °C on homogenization of welded joint has been also studied. It was shown that the cube orientation {001}<100> is the dominant texture component in welded joint before or after heat treatments.
