Effect of Current Pulse Mode on Fatigue Strength of A6N01S-T5 Aluminum Alloy Welded Joints
摘要
The fatigue strength of A6N01S-T5 aluminum alloy welded joints was studied by staircase test and scanning electron microscope fracture observation test. The results show that the conditional fatigue limit of double-pulse MIG welded joint is 97 MPa, which is higher than 92 MPa of single-pulse MIG welded joint. Fatigue fracture of double-pulse welded joints may occur in weld, fusion line, HAZ, or base metal zone. The fatigue fracture of single-pulse MIG welded joints mostly occurs in the weld zone. The pores were not found in the double-pulse MIG welded joints, which indicated that the double-pulse welding can avoid the fracture caused by pores.
