研究目的
Investigating the effects of laser beam welding and post-weld heat treatment on the phase composition and mechanical properties of the 1424 alloy (Al–Mg–Li) joints.
研究成果
The study successfully optimized the heat treatment conditions for laser-welded joints of the 1424 Al–Mg–Li alloy, achieving a weld strength of σUTS = 500 MPa, which is comparable to the base alloy. The formation of the δ′(Al3Li) strengthening phase in the weld joint was crucial for this achievement. The research provides valuable insights into the phase transformations and mechanical properties of Al–Mg–Li alloy joints under different heat treatment conditions.
