Effects of Filler Metal on the Microstructures and Properties of 2519A/7A52 Weld Joint

Abstract:

2519A/7A52 aluminum alloys were welded by using ER4043 and ER2319 welding wires with the method of MIG. The mechanical properties, microstructures as well as fracture of welded joints were studied. The results show that the welding wire of ER2319 is favorable for grain refinement of welding structures, and the strength and elongation of the joint are better than that welded by ER4043 welding wire. While for the use of ER4043, the strength and ductility of joint decline due to the generation of Si-rich brittle phase, and the fracture of weldment is mostly brittle type.
