Aluminum alloy components of high-speed trains have a great risk of being corroded by various corrosive medium due to extremely complex atmospheric environments. This will bring out huge losses and reduce the safety and stability of trains. In order to solve the problem, cold spray process was used for repairing the damage of the aluminum alloy components with Al-based powders. Microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior were studied. The results indicated that there were very few pores and cracks in the repaired areas after repairing. The average microhardness of the repaired areas was 54.5 HV ± 3.4 HV, and the tensile strength of the repaired samples was 160.4 MPa. After neutral salt spray tests for 1000 h, the rate of mass loss of the samples repaired by cold spray was lower than that of 6A01 aluminum alloy. The electrochemical test results showed that the repaired areas had a higher open circuit potential than 6A01 aluminum alloy. As a result, the repaired areas such as the anode protected its nearby substrate. The samples repaired by cold spray exhibited better corrosion than 6A01 aluminum alloy. Cold spray process and Al-based powders are applicable for repairing the aluminum alloy components of high-speed trains.
Aluminum alloy structures may be damaged due to wear or corrosion while in service. These damages will bring about huge financial costs, as well as a huge amount of energy consumption. There is an urgent need to search for an appropriate repair method in order to solve this problem. In this research, the cold spray process was used to repair the damages by using a mixture of powders with Al and Al2O3. A 7N01-T4 aluminum alloy plate with a factitious pit was regarded as the damaged sample. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior were studied. The results showed that there were no visible perforative pores or cracks in the repaired areas. The microhardness of the repaired areas was in the range of 57.4–63.2 HV and was lower than that of the 7N01-T4 aluminum alloy. The tensile strength of the repaired samples was markedly improved compared with the unrepaired samples. The alternate immersion test results indicated that the repaired samples had the lowest rate of mass loss compared with 7N01-T4 and the unrepaired samples. After alternate immersion tests for 504 h, the repaired samples were covered with dense corrosion products. The repaired samples had a superior corrosion resistance compared to that of 7N01-T4. Thus, the cold spray process is a method of repairing damage in aluminum alloy structures.

The effects of arc modes on laser-arc hybrid welding for AA6082-T6 aluminum alloy were comparatively studied. Two arc modes were employed: pulsed metal inert gas arc and cold metal transfer arc. The results indicated that joints without porosity, undercutting, or other defects were obtained with both laser-pulsed metal inert gas hybrid welding (LPMHW) and laser-cold metal transfer hybrid welding (LCHW). Spatter was reduced, and even disappeared, during the LCHW process. The sizes of equiaxed dendrites and the width of the partially melted zone in the LPMHW joint were larger than those in the LCHW joint. The microhardness in each zone of the LPMHW joint was lower than that of the LCHW joint. The softening region in the heat-affected zone of the LPMHW joint was wider than that of the LCHW joint. The tensile strength of the LCHW joint was higher than that of the LPMHW joint. For the two joints, the fractures all occurred in the softening region in the heat-affected zone, and the fracture morphologies showed ductile fracture features. The dimples in the fractograph of the LCHW joint were deeper than those of the LPMHW joint.

6082-T6 aluminum alloy with thickness of 6 mm were welded by laser-MIG hybrid welding. The effects of welding parameters on the porosity distribution, the correlations between the porosity distribution and mechanical properties were comprehensively investigated. The porosities mainly appeared near the fusion line of the arc zone when the arc current larger than 140 A, and which mainly existed in the center of the laser zone with other unsuitable parameters. Adopting low welding speed and setting heat source distance as around 3 mm were beneficial for the reduction of the porosity rate. The laser power, defocus distance, fit-up gap and gas flow rate had less effects on the porosity distribution. The average tensile strength of the joints without porosities was 260 MPa, which decreased to 224 MPa and 202 MPa as the porosity rate increased to 5.1% and 8.9%. The tensile specimens fractured at the heat affected zone or in the weld center when the porosity rates less or greater than 3%, and the fracture feature was diverted from ductile fracture to ductile and brittle mixed mode as the porosity rate increasing. The fatigue strength reduced from 113 MPa to 56 MPa when the porosity rate increased from 0% to 8.9%, while the porosity position had little effect on it. The fracture initiated in the weld surface when the joints without porosity, and which initiated near the porosity when the porosities existed in the joint.
6A01-T5 aluminum alloy and SUS301L-DLT austenitic stainless steel sheets were welded by a laser-cold metal transfer (CMT) hybrid welding-brazing method with ER5183 filler wire. We researched the weld forming, intermetallic compounds, and mechanical character, which are influenced by laser power, wire feeding speed, and welding speed. Well-formed joints with uniformly distributed interface layers were obtained under certain parameters. The spreading and wetting distance on the steel upper surface increased initially and then decreased as the laser power increased, and increased progressively as the wire feeding speed increased or welding speed decreased. There were both Fe2Al5 and Fe4Al13 in the interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs) layer. The thickness was controlled to within 2.0–6.9 µm. The thickness of the IMCs layer increased as the heat input increased; however, the increasing rate decreased gradually. The tensile strength of the joints was not only completely dependent on the thickness of the IMCs, but also on the spreading and wetting distance on the steel surface. The highest tensile strength could reach up to 188.7 MPa, which is about 77.1% of that of the base aluminum alloy. The tensile sample fracture occurred at the IMCs layer, and regional metallurgical bonding happened in the interface layer.
Currently, high-speed trains work under various atmospheric environments, and the bogie as a key component suffers serious corrosion. To investigate the corrosion behavior of bogies in industrial atmospheric environments, the periodic immersion wet/dry cyclic corrosion test for SMA490BW steel and automatic metal active gas (MAG) welded joints used for bogies was conducted in the present work. Corrosion weight loss rate, structure, and composition of rust layers as well as electrochemistry parameters were investigated. The results showed that the corrosion weight loss rate decreased with increasing corrosion time; furthermore, the corrosion weight loss rate of the welded joints was lower than that of SMA490BW steel. The XRD results showed that the rust layers formed on SMA490BW steel and its welded joints were mainly composed of α-FeOOH, γ-FeOOH, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4. The observation of surface morphology indicated that the rust layers of the welded joints were much denser and had a much finer microstructure compared with those of SMA490BW steel. After corrosion for 150 h, the corrosion potential of the welded joints with rust layers was higher than that of SMA490BW steel. In short, the welded joints exhibited better corrosion resistance than SMA490BW steel because of the higher content of alloy elements, as shown in this work.

The 7075 aluminum alloys have major applications in commercial, transportation industry and military air carriers, owing to their associated light weight, high strength, good machinability, high fracture toughness and low fatigue crack growth. Several welding techniques, such as metal inert gas (MIG) welding, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, laser welding and friction stir welding (FSW), have been applied to weld the 7075 aluminum alloys. However, their applications are limited because of the lower weld strength, slower welding speed and other significant limitations of them. Among the different welding techniques, plasma-MIG hybrid welding is a new fabrication technique with many advantages such as stable welding process, no weld spatter, the decreased pores, small grain size and high joint quality. Up to now, the study mainly focuses on coaxial plasma-MIG hybrid welding, and it is rare in dealing with the hot cracking susceptibility of 7000 senes aluminum alloys welded by paraxial plasma-MIG hybrid welding. In this work, the paraxial plasma-MIG hybrid welding system was used to weld 7075-T6 aluminum alloy plates. The quantitative relationship between plasma-MIG hybrid welding parameters of 7075 aluminum alloy and weld penetration was established by linear regression orthogonal test. Hot ductility tests were studied by using the thermal simulated test to determine the brittleness temperature range of the alloy. Welding hot cracking susceptibility tests were conducted by using the fish bone method, and the type and cause of the hot cracking were analyzed by SEM, EDS and OM. The results indicated that the brittleness temperature range of 7075 aluminum alloy was 470 similar to 620 degrees C. When the heat inputs of plasma-MIG hybrid welding were 2.52, 2.95 and 3.42 kJ/cm respectively, the welding hot cracking susceptibility decreased and then increased with the heat input increasing. The type of cracking in partially melted zone of base metal was liquation cracking, and that of weld zone was solidification cracking. When the heat input was 2.95 kJ/cm, the welding hot cracking sensitivity was the least, and the welding cracking was solidification cracking. Compared to MIG weld-ng joints, the hot cracking susceptibility of plasma-MIG hybrid welding joints decreased by 47% under the same conditions.
Plasma-MAG hybrid welding method and ordinary MAG welding method were used respectively to carry out the welding tests of SUS301L-MT stainless steel middle heavy plates for railway vehicles under the condition of ER308LSi welding wire and ψ (Ar)98%+ψ(CO2)2% shield gas selected.The pulsating tensile fatigue test and the fatigue strength estimation were conducted on the butt welded joints and the cruciform joints of plasma-MAG hybrid welding and ordinary MAG welding respectively.The results indicate that the median fatigue strength in fatigue life of 2×106 cycle is 279 MPa and 160 MPa for the butt joint and the cruciform joint of plasma-MAG hybrid welding respectively.Compared with ordinary MAG welding,the fatigue strength of plasma-MAG hybrid welded joints increases,in which the fatigue strength of butt joint is higher than that of cruciform joint.

In order to study the influence of welding heat input on low temperature toughness of SMA490BW weathering steel,the thermal simulation test was conducted on the coarse grain heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) of SMA490BW weathering resistant steel by using Gleeble-1500 thermal simulation test machine,and the low-temperature impact test was carried out at-40 ℃ temperature under the condition of different heat input.The results show that low-temperature impact toughness of CGHAZ decreases with the increase of welding heat input,but the impact energy can meet the requirement of standard of not less than 27 J when the heat input is no more than 30 kJ/cm.The increase of granular bainite,the formation of feathery bainite and the coarsening of grains in the coarse grain heat-affected zone of welding thermal simulation are the main reasons leading to the decrease of low-temperature impact toughness.
