| Abstract Scope |
The paper deals with the study of weldability of magnesium alloy with the addition of rare earth elements. ZE 10 magnesium alloy with 0.06 wt. % of La and 0.08 wt. % of Ce was suggested as base material. The thickness of ZE 10 magnesium alloy was 1.65 mm. TruDisk 4002 laser with the power of 2000 W was used for production of welded joints. Bead on plate welds were produced with various welding parameters. Laser power ranged from 500 W to 1800 W, welding speed was in the range from 30 mm/s to 90 mm/s, focusing of the laser beam was within the range of -3 to 3 mm. Shielding gases argon, helium and nitrogen were used for protection of the weld pool against the ambient atmosphere. Light and electron microscopy, microhardness measurements across the welded joints interface and tensile test were utilised to
analyze the welded joints. |
