Sumario: | The welding of steel–aluminum dissimilar metals plays a vital role in promoting automobile lightweight. However, it is tricky to obtain good mechanical properties of steel–aluminum laser weldments. Based on the principle of preheating welding, the laser double-pass reciprocating welding method of steel–aluminum dissimilar metals was proposed. In the experiment, different weld spacing such as 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm were set, and numerical calculations of the temperature field of the molten pool were carried out. The results show that the tensile strength of weldment depends on the mechanical properties of the second weld seam in the optimal welding parameters. Compared with other weld spacing, when the weld spacing is 1.5 mm, the preheating temperature, peak temperature, and pool width on the steel side of the second weld are lower. In contrast, the weld penetration’s peak value and molten pool center’s temperature reach the maximum on the aluminum side. The thickness of the steel/aluminum transition layer changed from 14 to 11 to 8 μm with increased weld spacing. Moreover, the fracture mode of the second weld is a ductile fracture. Furthermore, the average tensile strength can reach 76.84 MPa. The results show that appropriate weld spacing and preheating temperature can effectively improve the tensile strength of the welding joint. |
