Fatigue and fracture of friction stir linear welded dissimilar aluminum-to-magnesium alloys
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract A comprehensive study of fatigue life and damage mechanisms of friction stir linear welded dissimilar aluminum-to-magnesium alloys in lap-shear configuration is presented. The overlap linear welds were created by welding AA6022 aluminum alloy to AM60B magnesium alloy. The test results showed significant scatter in the fatigue life and the corresponding fracture modes. Two distinct modes of failure were observed for the lap-shear specimens. In one of the failure modes observed, fracture occurred when the dominant fatigue crack propagated into either the magnesium or aluminum sheet in a kink-crack formation. In addition, fretting debris was found at locations of crack initiation for this fracture mode. In the other observed mode of failure, fracture occurred by interfacial weld separation, where fractography analysis suggests that the fatigue cracks initiated at weld defects and then propagated through the brittle intermetallic phase formed during welding.
