The welded specimens were susceptible to SCC in distilled water, with susceptibility increasing with decreasing weld metal Al (or β particle) concentration. Primary stress corrosion cracks initiated at the weld metal-HAZ interface by stress-assisted localised dissolution and propagated through the weld and base metals by transgranular and intergranular H-assisted fracture (TG-HAF and IG-HAF) respectively. The IG fracture mode may be intrinsic to the texture imparted upon the base metal by rolling. The increase in SCC susceptibility with decreasing weld metal Al concentration is contrary to the purported roles of β particles in promoting localised corrosion and as crack nucleation sites, but corresponds with increases in weld - base metal galvanic current density and weld metal localised corrosion susceptibility.

The aim of the present study is to determine a relationship between filler metal dilution, local strain rate conditions, and cracking susceptibility. Making use of the controlled tensile weldability (CTW) test and local strain extensometer measurements, a boundary has been established between crack and non-crack conditions for different local strain rates and dilution amounts, holding all other welding parameters constant. This boundary, presented in the form of critical strain rate-dilution map, defines the critical amount of 4043 filler metal required to avoid solidification cracking when arc welding 6060 aluminium, depending upon local strain rate.

A1 - Cross, Carl Edward A1 - Dörfel, Ilona A1 - Österle, Werner T1 - Phase formation in 6060/4043 aluminium weld solidification N2 - Weld metal microstructure for alloy 6060 aluminum welds, made using the gas-tungsten arc process and alloy 4043 filler metal, has been characterized using optical metallography, EPMA microprobe analysis, SEM/EBSD and STEM/EDX electron microscopy, and single-sensor differential thermal analysis (SS-DTA). In addition, alloy 6060 castings were solidified at variable cooling rates approaching that of welding, to provide a reference for comparison with weld microstructure. It was found that a major change in cast microstructure occurs at cooling rates higher than 27 K/s resulting in a structure similar to that observed in weld metal. Rapid cooling is believed to favor low temperature solidification reactions that normally would be achieved only at higher silicon content. Accordingly, additions of 4043 filler metal that increase the weld metal silicon content have only limited affect on weld solidification range and microstructure. This has direct implications regarding how 4043 filler additions improve weldability and weld quality.

A1 - Cross, Carl Edward T1 - Mechanisms for solidification crack initiation and growth in aluminium welding N2 - In the present work, mechanisms are proposed for solidification crack initiation and growth in aluminum alloy 6060 arc welds. Calculations for an interdendritic liquid pressure drop, made using the Rappaz-Drezet-Gremaud (RDG) model, demonstrate that cavitation as a liquid fracture mechanism is not likely to occur except at elevated levels of hydrogen content. Instead, a porosity-based crack initiation model has been developed based upon pore stability criteria, assuming that gas pores expand from pre-existing nuclei. Crack initiation is taken to occur when stable pores form within the coherent dendrite region, depending upon hydrogen content. Following initiation, crack growth is modeled using a mass balance approach, controlled by local strain rate conditions. The critical grain boundary liquid deformation rate needed for solidification crack growth has been determined for a weld made with a 16 pct 4043 filler addition, based upon the local strain rate measurement and a simplified strain rate partitioning model. Combined models show that hydrogen and strain rate control crack initiation and growth, respectively. A hypothetical hydrogen strain rate map is presented, defining conceptually the combined conditions needed for cracking and porosity.

This study concerns the thermal analysis and solidification path determination of aluminium alloy 6060 diluted with variable amounts of 4043. Casting of controlled mixtures of alloys 6060 and 4043 was used to simulate different weld dilutions in order to facilitate thermal analysis. Thermal analysis and metallography were applied in order to reveal solidification reactions and phases, and allow calculation of solid fraction versus temperature curves. Although the liquidus temperature was little affected, different phases formed with increased 4043 dilution, with a trend toward lower temperature reactions and a larger fraction interdendritic constituent.
