Abstract

This study has successfully incorporated Al2O3, SiC particulates into the 7005Al alloy matrix by using a drag-push method. The reinforced particulates are uniformly distributed in the matrix. This study also discusses the influence of aging treatment on the friction welding properties of 7005Al/10 wt%, 15 μm and 6 μm SiC(p) composites and 7005Al/10 wt%, 15 μm Al2O3(p) composites joint system. Experimental results show that after peak aging treatment was performed, if SiC particulates were used in the strengthening phase, the heat-affected zone (HAZ) had higher density of strengthening particulate, this resulted an increase in the hardness and stress concentration at the fully plasticized zone (Zpl) of the HAZ region, but a decrease in the width of the Zpl zone and the welding strength. And the welded fracture surface morphology had a low-ductile fracture.
