7075铝合金FSW焊接头疲劳寿命模拟与分析

Simulation and analysis of fatigue life for FSW welded joints of 7075 aluminum alloy

  • 摘要: 工艺参数影响搅拌摩擦焊(friction stir welding,FSW)焊件的温度场及应力场,进而影响其疲劳性能,探究“工艺参数−场域变化−疲劳寿命”3者之间的关系,对于提高调控铝合金产品的疲劳寿命有着重要意义.基于数值模拟的方法分析不同焊接工艺参数下5 mm厚7075-T6铝合金焊件的温度场、应力场的变化规律,耦合Fe-safe软件探究疲劳寿命变化.结果表明,温度梯度 \nabla f由焊核区向母材区不断扩大,导致热应变差异更显著,从而残余应力不断增大;温度的主要影响因素是搅拌头旋转速度,在工艺参数内每提升100 r/min,峰值温度提升约9%;焊后残余应力主要表现为沿焊缝方向的纵向残余应力,其值与焊接速度呈正比,与旋转速度成反比;在低焊接速度下焊件的疲劳寿命与转速成反比,最佳工艺窗口为旋转速度与焊接速度的比值K应在4 ~ 5之间,而与焊接速度之间的关系并不规律.上述结果经试验验证,不仅为FSW工艺参数优化提供理论依据,更为长寿命需求的7075铝合金工程结构件的推广应用提供技术保障和理论支撑,具有一定的价值和意义.

     

    Abstract: Process parameters affect the temperature field and stress field of friction stir welding (FSW) welded joints, thereby affecting their fatigue performance. Exploring the relationship among “process parameters, field variation, and fatigue life” is of great significance for improving and regulating the fatigue life of aluminum alloy products. Based on numerical simulation methods, the variation rules of the temperature field and stress field of 5 mm-thick 7075-T6 aluminum alloy welded joints under different welding process parameters were analyzed, and Fe-safe software was coupled to explore the fatigue life changes. The results indicate that the temperature gradient \nabla f continuously expands from the nugget zone to the base metal zone, which leads to a more significant thermal strain difference, thereby continuously increasing the residual stress; the main influencing factor of temperature is the rotation speed of the stirring head, and the peak temperature increases by about 9% for every 100 r/min increase within the process parameters; the post-welding residual stress mainly manifests as longitudinal residual stress along the weld seam direction, and its value is directly proportional to the welding speed and inversely proportional to the rotation speed; at a low welding speed, the fatigue life of the welded joint is inversely proportional to the rotation speed, and the optimal process window is that the ratio K of the rotation speed to the welding speed is between 4 and 5, while the relationship with the welding speed is irregular. The above results are verified by experiments. They not only provide a theoretical basis for optimizing FSW process parameters but also offer technical guarantee and theoretical support for the promotion and application of 7075 aluminum alloy engineering structural components requiring a long service life, which has certain value and significance.
