Formation and influencing mechanism of the intermetallic compound in the friction stir welding of immiscible AZ31 and SPHC steel using aluminium powder as an additive

The primary issue with joining an immiscible magnesium/iron system is the lack of a bonding medium. This research used an aluminium (Al) additive as a bonding medium to facilitate the formation of an interface layer. Immiscible AZ31 magnesium alloy and SPHC low-carbon steel were successfully joined...

description The primary issue with joining an immiscible magnesium/iron system is the lack of a bonding medium. This research used an aluminium (Al) additive as a bonding medium to facilitate the formation of an interface layer. Immiscible AZ31 magnesium alloy and SPHC low-carbon steel were successfully joined by employing aluminium (Al) powder as an additive in the gap between them with friction stir welding (FSW). The extensive interfacial microstructural analyses confirmed that the aluminium-rich Fe2Al5 intermetallic compound (IMC) formed with a range of 20-25 nm in thickness at the interface between magnesium and iron resulted from the metallurgical reaction between the Al powder additive and base SPHC steel.
