7075铝合金FSW焊接头疲劳寿命模拟与分析

Simulation and analysis of fatigue life of 7075 aluminum alloy FSW welded joint

  • 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.研究结果表明,①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.②温度的主要影响因素是搅拌头转速,在工艺参数内每提升100 r/min,峰值温度提升约9%.③焊后残余应力主要表现为沿焊缝方向的纵向残余应力,其值与焊速呈正比,与转速成反比.④在低焊速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.上述结果经实验验证,合理可靠,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 influence the temperature field and stress field of friction stir welded (FSW) joints, thereby affecting their fatigue performance. Investigating the relationship among "process parameters-field variations-fatigue life" is crucial for improving the fatigue life of aluminum alloy products. Based on numerical simulation, this study analyzes the temperature and stress field variations of 5mm thick 7075-T6 aluminum alloy joints under different welding parameters, coupling Fe-safe software to explore fatigue life changes. The findings reveal, ① The temperature gradient \nabla f continuously expands from the nugget zone to the base metal zone, leading to more pronounced thermal strain differences and progressively increasing residual stresses. ② The primary factor influencing temperature is the spindle rotation speed, with a 100r/min increase within the parameter range raising peak temperature by approximately 9%. ③ Post-welding residual stresses primarily manifest as longitudinal stresses along the weld direction, proportional to welding speed and inversely proportional to rotation speed. ④ At low welding speeds, fatigue life is inversely related to rotation speed, with the optimal parameter window requiring a rotation-to-welding speed ratio K between 4 ~ 5. However, the relationship with welding speed is irregular. These results, experimentally validated, are reasonable and reliable. They not only provide a theoretical basis for optimizing FSW process parameters but also offer technical support and theoretical justification for the widespread application of 7075 aluminum alloy structural components requiring long service life, demonstrating significant value and practical relevance.
