Features of acoustic-emission signals during the initiation of a fatigue failure in a welded joint of an aluminum alloy of the Al-Cu-Mn system
Source abstract
Abstract
The features of the generation of acoustic emissions (AEs) during the initiation of a fatigue failure in various zones of a welded joint of thermally hardened 2219-T6-grade aluminum alloy, which is produced using electron-beam welding, are considered. Metallographic studies showed that a welded joint of the alloy is structurally and mechanically inhomogeneous. This predominantly influences the initiation and development kinetics of fatigue cracks in the joint and the AE kinetics. It is shown that the area of a formed flaw is proportional to the sum of the amplitude of detected signals, and the transition from the initiation to the stable propagation of a failure is accompanied by an abrupt increase in AE activity.
