Inverse prediction of local interface temperature during electromagnetic pulse welding via precipitate kinetics
Abstract Interface temperature of electromagnetic pulse welding is difficult to measure by insitu methods. Here, the local temperature rise is investigated using the kinetics of precipitates and dispersoids (transformation or dissolution) at the interface zone (IZ) and affected zone (AZ) of three welds. This fine scale analysis allows estimating of local temperature range for AZ that reaches between 250 and 360 °C on both sides of narrow IZ, while the IZ itself experiences between 360 and 500 °C or even beyond 500 °C. The interface temperature increases with the increasing impact intensity. The current work estimated thermal field based on the precipitate transformations, which occur during…
An anomalous wave formation at the Al/Cu interface during magnetic pulse welding
This paper reports an anomalous wave formation at an Al/Cu bimetallic interface produced by magnetic pulse welding. The mechanism of the anomalous wave formation is investigated using both metallurgical characterization and the interface kinematics. It reveals that the anomalous wave is formed with the combination of the intermediate zone and the interdiffusion zone with a thickness of 70 nm, wherein the intermediate zone is caused by the local melting due to the high shear instability, and the interdiffusion zone is formed below the melting point of aluminum combined with ultrahigh heating and cooling rates of about 10^13 °C s^−1. A multiphysics simulation of impact welding has been perfor…
A new nature of microporous architecture with hierarchical porosity and membrane template via high strain rate collision
Abstract This paper presents the formation of an unusual porous structure at Al/Al interface joined by magnetic pulse welding. The porous structure consists of a hierarchical microporous architecture with pore size of less than 2 µm that represents more than 80% over the whole area, in which 38% of them are sub-micron size pores. It also exhibits ultra-thin wall, sufficiently thin enough to behave as an electron-transparent material with a wall thickness of 50 nm. The formation of this porous structure is attributed to a cavitation process of a molten material in three stages including, (1) nucleation, (2) growth and coalescence and (3) solidification. Further analysis of this cavitation pr…
