Modified friction stir clinching-brazing of brass to AA5083 aluminum alloy using Zn interlayer
The modified friction stir clinching (MFSC) of 5083 aluminum alloy to brass using pure Zn interlayer has been explored and elucidated for the first time. By that, the influence of the Zn interlayer thickness on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the 5083/brass joint was investigated. The attained data have revealed that the intermetallic compound (IMC) layer thickness was mainly influenced by the Zn interlayer. The use of the Zn interlayer restrained the creation of brittle Al–Cu IMCs such as Al4Cu9 during the MFSC process and, in return, softer phases such as Cu4Zn, CuZn5, and CuZn were formed. It was also found that with increasing the thickness of the Zn interlayer from 50 to 100 µm, the thickness of the brazed zone increased and the tensile/shear strength of the spot welds significantly improved from 5250 to 8490 N (approximately 60% increment over the welded sample with 50-µm-thick Zn) which can be ascribed to supreme bonding and homogeneous brazing zone at the interface.
