Laser assisted Friction Stir Welding of drawable steel-aluminium tailored hybrids
Source abstract
Abstract
Steel aluminium Tailor Welded Hybrids are still mentioned to be difficult to be joint as intermetallic phases appear during melting welding techniques. These phases are the reason for failure of the joint during loading or forming. As conventional friction stir welding, a solid phase welding technology, is not feasible to join steel and aluminium, laser assistance for preheating the steel sheet is adapted in order to enhance the weldability as well as the welding feed and to reduce the wear at the tool. Tensile tests are performed to achieve mechanical properties of joints, which were welded by systematic variation of process parameters. Finally deep drawing tests are conducted to demonstrate the formability of laser assisted friction stir welded steel aluminium joints.
