Microstructure and Bending Property of Welding Joint Prepared by 5356 Welding Wire Added Sc, Zr and Er

Abstract:

7A52 aluminum alloy was welded by using 5356 welding wire added Sc, Zr and Er. Microstructure of the welding joint was observed by using optical microscope (OM). Bending property was tested by bending tester. The results demonstrated that, compared to employ traditional 5356 welding wire, the grains in welding zone (WZ) were much finer; The grains in fused zone (FZ) nucleated and grew from the matrix; The grain size along heat affected zone (HAZ) dercearsed gradually.The welding joint prepared by using 5356 welding wire added single 0.3%Sc possessed maxium face bending strength. The welding joint fabricated by using 5356 welding wire added compond 0.1%Sc+0.2% Er possessed maxium rear bending strength. The fine isometric crystal and isometric dendrite generated at the welding zone when the new type 5356 wire added gingle Sc or compound Sc+Er was employed, which make the welding joint represent excellent bending property, respectively.
