Effect of Magnetic Field Current on Microstructure and Properties of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy Welded Joint

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this investigation, in order to research the influence of magnetic field on microstructure and properties of magnesium alloy welded joint, the AZ91 magnesium alloy plates were welded by GTAW under AC longitudinal magnetic field. The tensile test, EDS and XRD were used to analyze the properties and microstructure of welded joint under different magentic field current. The acting mechanism of magentic field on welded joint was studied. The results show that, the optimal mechanical properties will be obtained when Im=1A, which the ultimate tensile strength is 270MPa and the elongation precentage is 7.1%.The magnetic field can produce electromagnetic stirring, which can refine crystal grain and improve the solubility of alloy element. The properties of welded joint will been improved by these fine crystal grain.
