摘要
Using He-Ar mixed gas as shielding gas, the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding of SiCp/6061 Al composites was investigated without and with Al-Si filler. Welded joint with filler were submitted to tensile tests. The microstructure and fracture morphology of the joint were examined. The results show that adding 50 vol.% helium in shielding gas improves the arc stability, and seams with high-quality appearance are obtained when the AI-Si filler is added. In addition, the interface reaction between SiC and matrix is greatly suppressed when using AI-Si filler. The microstructure of the welded joint displays non-uniformity with many SiC particles distributing in the weld center. The average tensile strength of weld joints with Al-Si filler is 70% above that of the matrix composites under annealed condition. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
