Abstract
Relevance of application of complex experimental-analytical approach for estimation of the most important mechanical properties is shown by the example of welded joints of complexly alloyed aluminum-lithium alloy 1460 of Al-Cu-Li system, produced by argon-arc welding using filler wires Sv-1201 and Sv-1201 + 0.5 % Sc. The estimation of service properties (strength, ductility, crack resistance) of the welded joints was carried out considering specific contribution of structural factors (chemical composition, grain, subgrain and dislocation structure as well as size and volume fraction of forming phase precipitates). Effect of each of specific structural-phase parameters on mechanical properties of the welded joints, their change under influence of postweld heat treatment and external loads as well as role of structural-phase condition for concentration and mechanism of relaxation of the internal stresses at metal alloying with scandium were determined. 12 Ref., 5 Figures.
