摘要: Al-4.7Mg-0.7Mn-0.3Er alloy plates were welded by laser beam welding (LBW) and tungsten inert gas (TIG). Mechanical properties microstructures of both joints analyzed. The results showed that the tensile strength LBW joint was 315 MPa, which approximately 10% higher than TIG joint. This attributed to fine grains, dispersed primary Al3Er phase low Mg evaporation in weld. Equiaxed grains with average size 30 μm obtained fusion zone, much smaller 90 zone joint, due heat input during process. Moreover, finer particles uniformly distributed joints, resulted a substantial increase nucleation rate welds. In addition, it also found concentrations zones, lower base one tested EPMA. burning loss rates 36% 22%, respectively.
