| Description | Cold metal transfer (CMT) fusion brazing technology was used to weld 6061 aluminum alloy and Q235 galvanized steel with ER4043 welding wire. The microstructure, hardness, tensile performance, and fatigue performance of the welded joint were observed and analyzed. The results show that the tensile strength of the welded joint is 110.83 MPa and the fatigue strength limit is 170 MPa. In the fatigue process, the coupon first undergoes cyclic hardening and then cyclic softening and a ratchet effect occurs. The coupon was broken at the interface layer or weld zone where the fatigue strength limit is the lowest. The fatigue crack initiation is mainly caused by: (1) inclusions and second-phase particles; and (2) porosity and incomplete fusion. When cracks encounter holes during expansion, the expansion direction will change. The fatigued coupon displays a toughness fracture in the instantaneous fracture zone. |
