Effect of Travel Speed on the Properties of Al-Mg Aluminum Alloy Fabricated by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing
Source abstract
Abstract
Al-Mg aluminum alloy thin-wall components were deposited using wire + arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was adopted using ER5356 wire as the filler metal to fabricate components. Three travel speeds (TS) of 200, 320, and 500 mm/min were adopted to achieve changed heat input. Its effects on microstructure characteristics and tensile behavior were studied. The microstructure of alloys deposited with a TS of 500 mm/min contained fine and equiaxed grains compared with other deposited alloys. The TS 500 mm/min had a good assisting influence of controlling the forming quality and little pores, and cracks were observed. Alloys deposited at the TS 500 mm/min displayed higher mechanical properties with an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 245.5 MPa and elongation of 35.28%. Besides, changing the TS had a small effect on the microhardness with a value of 2.3Hv.
