Abstract
The influence of filler rod composition on the strength of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welded magnesium alloy joint was investigated. Samples were rolled AZ31 (Mg-3Al-1Zn) magnesium alloy as base metal and drawn AZ31, AZ61 and AZ91 magnesium alloys as filler rod. The results show that all fracture points were fusion zone (FZ), and each joint efficiency (=joint strength/ base metal strength) was 70.7%, 80.0% and 73.1% when using AZ31, AZ61 and AZ91 filler rod. When using AZ91 filler rod, 0.2% proof stress was the highest but the elongation was the lowest among the three conditions, and joint efficiency was lower than that when using AZ61 filler rod. It is thought that welded joint was strengthened by solute strengthening, but excess addition of aluminum facilitated crystallization of Mg17Al12 phase. This is the reason why elongation and joint efficiency when using AZ91 filler rod decreased. In conclusion, it is effective to use filler rod which does not excess solid solubility limit.
