Abstract
A review of the current methods of fusion welding of Al-based dispersion-strengthened composite materials (DSCM), reinforced with silicon carbide particles is presented. Processes, proceeding in arc welding of Al-based DSCM are considered in detail. Mechanical characteristics of welded joints on composite materials are given, and problems, arising in their fusion welding, are considered.
Keywords: composite material, fusion welding, alu¬minium matrix, reinforcer, particle, silicon and aluminium carbides, decomposition, structure, composition
