Analysis of Extrusion Welding Conditions for AlMg Alloys with High Mg Content

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the work, an original method and a special modified device is presented enabling to determine welding conditions of hard deformable aluminium alloys. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it simulates conditions occurring in the welding chamber of the porthole dies. The weldability tests were performed for 5754 (3,5% Mg) and 5019 (5,5% Mg) alloys, in a wide range of temperatures and pressures. The microstructure and joints strength were examined. The welding conditions of AlMg alloys that allowed obtaining high-quality joints were determined. The obtained welding stress values will be the basis for extrusion porthole die design.
