Analysis of nugget formation and mechanical properties of resistance spot welding joints for TC4/TA2 titanium alloy special structures

  • 摘要: 为了解决直升机TC4/TA2不等厚小V形结构件铆接质量不稳定的问题,基于电阻焊方法,研究焊接工艺参数对点焊接头成形及力学性能的影响,运用ABAQUS软件建立热—电—力多场耦合的仿真模型,模拟TC4/TA2钛合金电阻点焊接头形成过程. 结果表明,TC4/TA2点焊接头的熔核随着焊接时间增大逐渐长大,且向TA2侧偏移,试验与模拟结果相对误差在10%以内. 在最佳焊接工艺参数下,接头拉剪载荷达6.73 kN,熔核直径为4.43 mm,TC4与TA2侧焊透率分别为61.5%和72.8%,TC4侧表面压痕率为13.0%,均符合航空标准要求,无飞溅、裂纹等缺陷. TC4侧热影响区组织由针状α′相、初生α相和初生β相组成,硬度最高(约为320 HV),熔核区组织主要是粗大的片层状马氏体α′相,硬度居中(约为235 HV),TA2侧热影响区组织主要由块状α相以及少量针状α′相构成,硬度最低(约为155 HV).

     

    Abstract: To address the instability of riveting quality of TC4/TA2 dissimilar-thickness small V-shaped structural components for helicopters, the effects of welding process parameters on the formation and mechanical properties of spot welding joints were investigated based on the resistance welding method. A thermo-electro-mechanical coupled simulation model was established using ABAQUS software to simulate the formation process of TC4/TA2 titanium alloy resistance spot welding joints. The results show that the nugget of the TC4/TA2 spot welding joint gradually grows with the increase of welding time and shifts toward the TA2 side. The relative error between the experimental and simulated results is within 10%. Under the optimal welding process parameters, the tensile shear load of the joint reaches 6.73 kN, and the nugget diameter is 4.43 mm. The penetration rates on the TC4 and TA2 sides are 61.5% and 72.8%, respectively, and the surface indentation rate on the TC4 side is 13.0%. All parameters meet the requirements of aviation standards, and there are no defects such as spatters or cracks. The microstructure of the heat-affected zone on the TC4 side is composed of acicular α′ phase, primary α phase, and primary β phase, with the highest hardness (approximately 320 HV). The microstructure of the nugget zone is mainly coarse lamellar martensite α′ phase, with intermediate hardness (approximately 235 HV). The microstructure of the heat-affected zone on the TA2 side is mainly composed of massive α phase and a small amount of acicular α′ phase, with the lowest hardness (approximately 155 HV).
