Hot Cracking Susceptibility in the TIG Joint of AZ31 Mg-Alloy Plates Produced by the TRC Process with and without Intensive Melt Shearing

Abstract:

AZ31 Mg-alloy plates produced by both conventional twin roll casting (TRC) and the melt-conditioned TRC (MC-TRC) processes were used to compare the hot cracking susceptibility in the joints of one bead-on-plate TIG welds. The plates cast with melt shearing were employed as the welding wire. The results showed that the MC-TRC plate has higher liquefied cracking resistance in the heat affected zone (HAZ) than that of the TRC plate. The improved liquefied cracking resistance of the MC-TRC plate can be attributed to the well dispersed and uniformly distributed eutectic regions in the MC-TRC microstructure.
