It is the cause of almost all cracking in aluminum weldments. This cracking mechanism is also called hot shortness, hot fissuring, solidification cracking, and liquation cracking. There are three types of ...
به خواندن ادامه دهیدHot cracking is the cause of almost all cracking in aluminum weldments. Hot cracking is a high-temperature cracking mechanism and is mainly a function of how metal alloy systems solidify. This cracking mechanism is also known as hot shortness, hot fissuring, solidification cracking and liquation cracking.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدHot cracking in aluminum alloys is primarily due to the chemistry of the alloy and the weld bead. For virtually every alloying addition, the cracking sensitivity varies as alloy content increases as shown in Figure 1. Weldable alloys have a composition that falls either well above or well below the maximum cracking sensitivity.

In direct chill (DC) casting, the effect of grain refining on the prominent defects such as hot cracking and macrosegregation remains poorly understood, especially for multi-component commercial aluminum alloys. In this work, DC casting experiments were conducted on a 7075 alloy with and without grain refining at two casting speeds.

Cracks occur as the casting cools, towards the end of solidification. Causes and prevention of hot tears and cracks
به خواندن ادامه دهیدHot crack can be defined as cracking formed at high temperatures near the solidus of the metal, where the metal has coherence but is completely brittle. It can occur in weld metals and the heat-affected zone. Almost all metals (such as carbon steel, low-alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum alloy) may, on any scale ...
به خواندن ادامه دهیدHot shortness is a type of welding defecting characterized by the cracking of a material along its grain boundaries as the welded area cools and solidifies. When a molten metal is heated and solidifies, crystals are formed independently of each other. These crystals are distributed throughout the metal and are randomly oriented.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدCrater cracks happen for three reasons: 1. High thermal rate of conductivity. 2. The relatively large change in volume when aluminum solidifies. 3. The concave shape of the crater. Aluminum cools so fast that it doesn't provide adequate time for the weld bead to flatten or the crater to fill. The deep depression of the crater quickly freezes in ...
