AA6061-TC4异种合金超声辅助电阻点焊模拟

Simulation of ultrasonic assisted resistance spot welding of AA6061-TC4 heterogeneous alloy

  • 摘要: 针对6061铝合金及TC4钛合金超声辅助电阻点焊过程,考虑超声振动对材料屈服强度、接触电阻的影响,在试验研究基础上建立了直接耦合有限元模型. 基于热、电、力耦合分析超声辅助电阻点焊温度场及应力场的演变过程. 模拟分析表明,焊接界面处TC4未熔化,接头为熔融6061铝合金在TC4钛合金表面铺展润湿形成;焊接过程中所需热量主要来源于Al-Ti界面,而AA6061-TC4板内部产热分布不均匀, TC4显著高于AA6061,且AA6061板内高温区分布在靠近TC4接触面一侧;接头处焊接残余应力沿钛合金热影响区边缘呈环状集中分布. 与金相试验结果对比表明,熔核形貌及尺寸与数值模拟得到的结果基本吻合,该模型能够较好地还原AA6061-TC4异种合金超声辅助电阻点焊过程的温度场及应力场.

     

    Abstract: A direct coupled finite element model was established based on experimental research, considering the influence of ultrasonic vibration on the yield strength and electrical contact resistance of 6061 aluminum alloy and TC4 titanium alloy during ultrasonic assisted resistance spot welding process. The evolution process of temperature and stress fields in ultrasonic assisted resistance spot welding based on thermal, electrical, and force coupling analysis. Simulation analysis shows that TC4 is not melted at the welding interface, and the joint is formed by the spreading and wetting of molten 6061 aluminum alloy on the surface of TC4 titanium alloy; The required heat during the welding process mainly comes from the Al-Ti interface, and the heat generation distribution inside the AA6061-TC4 plate is uneven. The temperature of TC4 is significantly higher than AA6061, and the high-temperature zone inside the AA6061 plate is distributed near the TC4 contact surface; The residual stress of welding at the joint is concentrated in a circular pattern along the edge of the heat affected zone of the titanium alloy.It shows that the morphology and size of the fusion nucleus are basically consistent with the numerical simulation results through the comparison with the metallographic test results, this model can effectively restore the temperature field and stress field of the ultrasonic assisted resistance spot welding process of AA6061-TC4 dissimilar alloy.
