A comparative study of laser-arc double-sided welding and double-sided arc welding of 6mm 5A06 aluminium alloy
Research highlights ► We compare laser-arc double-sided welding with double-sided arc welding. ► The energy efficiency of laser-arc double-sided welding is higher. ► The mechanical properties of laser-arc double-sided welding is better.
Abstract In order to study the interactions between the two heat sources in both laser-arc double-sided welding (LADSW) and double-sided arc welding (DSAW), some welding characteristics including weld configuration, energy efficiency, weld microstructure and mechanical properties of the both processes were contrastively investigated. The results show that the weld cross-section of LADSW within the proper welding parameter takes on the combination of typical weld profiles of gas tungsten arc welding and laser welding, while the DSAW takes on a quasi-symmetrical shape. The energy efficiency of LADSW is higher than DSAW, probably due to the higher heat transfer efficiency in laser welding and stronger effect of laser on the arc. The weld microstructures of the both processes characterized by scanning electron microscope mainly consist of α and β phase, whereas the grain size and second-phase particle size vary a great deal for the different heat input. The tensile strength of LADSW is 91.7% of base metal, compared with that of 82.3% of DSAW, and the elongation is also higher than DSAW. The fracture micromorphology of LADSW indicates a more typical dimple fracture than that of DSAW. It is considered that the better mechanical properties of LADSW are attributed to the finer grain size.
