Abstract
Proceeding from the results of literature analysis, the good prospects for application of pressure welding methods, namely diffusion, ultrasonic, and roll bonding, when joining elements from magnesium alloys, are shown. Comparative evaluation of bonding modes was performed. The main directions for producing sound joints were determined. It is shown that the main ways to improve the bonding processes are application of the following approaches: monitoring the temperature-time parameters of bonding, application of interlayers in the form of separate layers from similar materials, based on copper, nickel, zinc or silver, or of eutectic mixtures, butt joint strengthening through application of nano- or finely-dispersed particles, intensification of plastic deformation through superposition of ultrasonic oscillations, increase of plastic deformation intensity, as well as application of heat treatment before and after bonding.
Keywords: magnesium alloys, welded joints, microstructure, strength, diffusion bonding, ultrasonic bonding, roll bonding
