Abstract
An essential difference in formation of structural-phase state of weld metal of aluminium alloy 1460 at application of various technological conditions of welding is shown. In nonconsumable electrode argon-arc welding the weld metal is characterized by an essential increase of the dimensions of phase precipitates in inner grain bulk, formation of massive extended eutectics of intergranular type, as well as a pronounced coarsening of granular structure, that is related to active development of the processes of collective recrystallization under the impact of temperature mode of welding. Structural-phase state of weld metal under the conditions of friction stir welding is characterized by a more marked dispersion of phase precipitates and their uniform distribution, as well as grain refinement as a result of dynamic recrystallization, due to intensive impact of deformation processes localized in the welding zone. 11 Ref., 6 Figures.
