焊后热处理对Mg-4Y-3Nd-1.5Al合金TIG补焊接头显微组织和力学性能影响

Effect of post-weld heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-4Y-3Nd-1.5Al alloy TIG repair welded joints

  • 摘要: 为解决传统Mg-RE-Zr合金钨极气体保护焊(tungsten inert gas welding,TIG)补焊接头在焊后热处理过程中晶粒异常长大(abnormal grain growth,AGG)导致性能恶化的问题,研究了补焊后热处理对Mg-4Y-3Nd-1.5Al合金显微组织与力学性能的影响.结果表明,经550 ℃/24 h高温固溶处理后,该合金补焊接头焊缝区的晶粒长大现象得到有效抑制,仅出现极少数异常长大晶粒,显著优于传统Mg-RE-Zr合金焊接接头.其热稳定性源于晶界处大量高熔点Al2RE相的Zener钉扎效应,计算表明其钉扎极限晶粒尺寸(约97.8 μm)远大于焊缝实际初始晶粒尺寸.经固溶(525 ℃/24 h) + 峰时效(200 ℃/16 h)处理后,接头抗拉强度、屈服强度和断后伸长率分别达到293 MPa、215 MPa和5.8%,力学性能与母材相当.断口分析表明,热处理有效溶解了晶界脆性共晶组织,使断裂方式由沿晶为主转变为穿晶为主.研究证明Mg-Y-Nd-Al合金凭借Al2RE相带来的高热稳定性,能够有效协调焊后热处理中共晶溶解与抑制晶粒粗化的矛盾,为实现镁合金铸件的高质量修复提供了新方案.

     

    Abstract: In order to solve the problem of mechanical property deterioration caused by abnormal grain growth (AGG) of traditional Mg-RE-Zr alloy tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) repair welded joints during post-weld heat treatment, the effects of post-weld heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-4Y-3Nd-1.5Al alloy were investigated. The results reveal that after high-temperature solid solution treatment at 550 °C/24 h, the grain growth phenomenon in the weld zone of the alloy repair welded joint is effectively suppressed, with only a very small number of abnormally grown grains appearing, which is significantly better than that of traditional Mg-RE-Zr alloy welded joints. The thermal stability originates from the Zener pinning effect of numerous high-melting-point Al2RE phases at grain boundaries. Calculations indicate that its pinning-limited grain size (about 97.8 μm) is much larger than the actual initial grain size of the weld. After solid solution (525 °C/24 h) + peak aging (200 °C/16 h) treatment, the tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation after fracture of the joint reach 293 MPa, 215 MPa, and 5.8%, respectively, and its mechanical properties are comparable to those of the base metal. Fracture analysis shows that the heat treatment effectively dissolves the brittle eutectic structure at grain boundaries, transforming the fracture mode from mainly intergranular to mainly transgranular. The study demonstrates that the Mg-Y-Nd-Al alloy, relying on the high thermal stability brought by the Al2RE phase, can effectively coordinate the contradiction between eutectic dissolution and grain coarsening suppression during post-weld heat treatment, providing a new solution for the high-quality repair of magnesium alloy castings.
