2195铝锂合金异种波长复合激光焊接熔池流动对微观组织的影响

Effect of molten pool flow on microstructure in 2195 Al-Li alloy joint fabricated by heterogeneous-wavelength hybrid laser welding

  • 摘要: 异种波长复合激光焊接技术有效结合了不同波长激光束作为独立焊接热源的优点,可适用于常规光源难以焊接的金属材料,在激光加工领域拥有巨大的应用潜力.针对2195铝锂合金开展异种波长复合激光焊试验,分析不同激光热源作用下的焊接接头微观组织,并建立了焊接过程热−流耦合模型,探究焊接过程熔池流动行为对微观组织分布特征的影响规律. 结果表明,与单一光纤激光焊相比,异种波长复合激光焊过程中熔池流动行为增加了腰部区域,包含晶核的较冷混合液体进入熔池内部的能力,使得焊缝腰部区域形成了尺寸更大的等轴晶带(non-dendritic equiaxed zone,EQZ)区域,且等轴细晶晶粒尺寸显著增加,此外,焊缝中柱状树枝晶的生长方向大致垂直于EQZ边界.

     

    Abstract: The heterogeneous wavelength hybrid laser welding (HW-HLW) technology effectively integrates the advantages of different laser beams as independent welding heat sources. It exhibits considerable potential for application in laser processing, particularly in the joining of metals that are inherently challenging to weld with conventional light sources. In this paper, the HW-HLW experiment was carried out for 2195 Al-Li alloy. The microstructure of welded joints under different laser heat sources was investigated. The thermal-flow coupling model during welding was established to elucidate the effect of molten pool flow behavior on the microstructure distribution characterisitcs. The results indicate that, compared with that in single-fiber laser welding, the flow behavior of the molten pool promotes the increase in the waist region in the process of HW-HLW, and the ability of relatively cold mixed liquid containing crystal nuclei to enter the molten pool is enhanced. Consequently, a larger non-dendritic equiaxed zone (EQZ) is formed in the waist region of the weld, and the grain size of equiaxed fine crystals is significantly increased. Besides, the growth direction of columnar dendrites in the weld is roughly perpendicular to the EQZ boundary.
