摘要:
5A90 aluminum-lithium (Al-Li) alloy thin sheets, machined with a square butt weld preparation, were welded by Nd:YAG laser. Microstructure and texture characterization in the laser welds were studied by means of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD), and compared with the unaffected base metal. The results show that the weld metal (WM) microstructure is displayed significant changes in solidification structure, and microtexture. The predominantly fine equiaxed dendritic microstructure in the WM zone is observed and rationalized on the basis of solidification mechanism and heterogeneous nucleation mechanism. The pole figures of 5A90 Al-Li sample exhibit a typical cold rolling textures structure of FCC metals, while the laser welds in 5A90 Al-Li alloys are shown to exhibit a randomly textured microstructure.
