Thermomechanical treatments were carried out to improve the properties of AZ31B joints prepared by gas tungsten arc welding.The microstructures of the joints were studied by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectrometry.Tensile tests and hardness tests were performed to investigate the effects of thermomechanical treatments on the mechanical properties of the joints.It is found that the thermomechanical-treated joints show superior mechanical properties against the as-welded joints,and their ultimate tensile strength can reach more than 92% of the base material.This mainly attributes to the formation of fine equiaxed grains in the fusion zone.After thermomechanical treatments the dendrites are transformed to fine spherical grains,and the dendritic segregation can be effectively eliminated.
Thermomechanical treatments were carried out to improve the properties of AZ31B joints prepared by gas tungsten arc welding. Microstructures of the joints were studied by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectrometry. Sensile tests and hardness tests were performed to investigate the effects. of thermomechanical treatments on the mechanical properties of the joints. It is found that the thermomechanical-treated joints show superior mechanical properties against the as-welded joints, and their ultimate tensile strength can reach more than 92% of the base materials. to the formation of fine equiaxed grains in the fusion zone. After thermomechanical treatments the dendrites are transformed to fine spherical grains, and the dendritic segregation can be effectively eliminated.
