摘要: 由于焊后余热带来的退火软化效应,T2纯铜常规搅拌摩擦焊(Friction stir welding,FSW)焊缝通常会出现位错密度降低和晶粒长大的现象,其屈服强度普遍较低。为消除焊后退火效应并改善力学性能,采用液态CO2同步快速冷却FSW工艺对2 mm的T2纯铜进行焊接。利用光学显微镜、电子背散射衍射、透射电子显微镜、显微硬度测试以及拉伸试验对焊缝的微观组织、力学性能和加工硬化行为进行研究。结果表明,纯铜FSW焊缝的晶粒细化机制主要为不连续动态再结晶、连续动态再结晶和孪晶诱导几何动态再结晶。快速冷却FSW纯铜焊缝呈现具有纳米孪晶和高位错密度的细晶结构,在加工硬化第Ⅲ阶段表现出较大的加工硬化率。在第Ⅳ阶段,纳米孪晶为位错增殖提供储存空间,使加工硬化率降低并改善塑性。和常规FSW相比,快速冷却FSW焊缝的屈服强度和断后伸长率分别提高了31.1%和25.7%。本文提出的液态CO2同步快速冷却FSW工艺通过改善焊接热循环可在焊缝中制备异质细晶结构,有助于提高焊缝的屈服强度并使其表现出良好的强塑性匹配。

Abstract: Conventional friction stir welded (FSW) T2 copper joint usually exhibits a low yield strength due to the decreased dislocation density and coarsened grain size caused by post-annealing effect. To eliminate the post-annealing effect and improve mechanical properties, 2-mm-thick T2 copper plates was subjected to liquid CO2 assisted rapid cooling FSW technology. Microstructural evolution, mechanical properties, and strain hardening behavior of the welds are investigated by optical microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, microhardness measurement, and tensile tests. The results show that the grain refinement mechanism of the FSW copper weld is attributed to discontinuous dynamic recrystallization, continuous dynamic recrystallization, and twinning-induced geometric dynamic recrystallization. The rapid cooling FSW weld exhibits a fine grain structure with nano-twins and massive dislocations, and thus it had a high strain hardening rate at stage Ⅲ of strain hardening behavior. During the stage Ⅳ, the nano-twins provide enough storage space for dislocation movement, resulted in reduced strain hardening rate and improved ductility. Compared with the conventional FSW, the yield strength and elongation of rapid cooling FSW weld increase by 31.1% and 25.7%, respectively. The liquid CO2 assisted rapid cooling FSW technology proposed can prepare heterogeneous fine grain structure in the welded joint by improving the thermal cycle, which is helpful to improve the yield strength. A welded joint with good matching of strength and ductility is achieved by using this advanced FSW technology.
