Popis: | The welding of metal matrix material reinforced with ceramic particles has some problems such as formation of oxide layer, segregation occurring on welding area, and reaction of ceramic particles with welding bath. The expected mechanical properties cannot be obtained because of these problems. In this study, the weldability of aluminum 2014 alloy reinforced with SiC particles was investigated. MIG welding process was used via using AlSi5 alloy wire at different types and values of welding currents. Samples obtained using manual welding current were compared to those obtained using pulse welding current, in terms of microstructure and distribution of hardness. The effects of different types and values of welding currents on the microstructure and hardness distribution were examined. It was obtained that the welding of the composite with aluminum 2014 alloy matrix reinforced with SiC particles via using of pulse current, potential formation of segregation was prevented and microstructural properties were improved. |
