Mechanical Properties of the Welded Joints of the Pressed Aluminum–Magnesium 1565ch Alloy at Low and High Temperatures

Resumo

The paper shows the research results of the structure and mechanical properties of welded joints of the hot-pressed panels and profiles manufactured by JSC Arkonik SMP from aluminum–magnesium 1565ch alloy at the temperature range from –165 to 150°C. It is established that the nature of changes in the properties of welded joints of pressed panels and profiles of 1565ch alloy made by manual argon arc welding with non-consumable electrodes of TIG with filler material СвАМг61 at various test temperatures is similar to changes in the welded joints of rolled sheets. When the test temperature is lowered, low-temperature hardening of the welded joints is observed—at cryogenic temperature (–165°C), 20–30% of strength is gained compared to 20°C. The prolonged aging of welded joints at an elevated temperature (150°C) leads to a decrease in strength by 25–30% compared to 20°C. The strength coefficient of welded joints with reinforced joint is not less than 0.9 of the actual strength of the base metal at all test temperatures.
