Laser welding-brazing was developed to join dissimilar AZ31B magnesium (Mg) alloy and AISI304 stainless steel using a high power fiber laser. The maximum joint strength was 211 MPa, which reached 89.8 % of Mg base metal. The interface characterization and fracture behavior of the joints were investigated by employing optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. A transition zone was observed at the interface of fusion zone/steel, where the intermetallic compounds of Mg2Ni and Mg17Al12 were found. The offset from the center of laser beam to the edge of joint seam played a big role in the joining strength by changing the area fraction of reaction layer to whole interface. The smaller the laser offset, the larger the area fraction of reaction layer to whole interface, and thus the stronger the joining strength is. By the characteristics observed on fracture surface, the fracture behavior was summarized.K e y w o r d s : laser brazing, stainless steel, magnesium alloy, interface, tensile strength
The air distribution and speed uniformity of the cleaning fan in the cleaning room have a great influence on the working quality of the cleaning system of the harvester. In view of the problem of uneven air distribution in the cleaning room caused by improper adjustment of the main operating parameters of the cleaning fan in the cleaning device of the corn combine harvester, this paper takes the self-developed air screen cleaning test bench as the object. The main working parameters of the cleaning centrifugal fan (air supply distance, fan speed, and number of blades) were simulated and the Fluent simulation software was used to carry out the single-factor and multi-factor optimization tests, explore the influence law of each test factor on the air velocity in front of the screen, in the middle and behind the screen and the deviation degree of the airflow at the back of the screen surface, and find the optimal parameter combination. The data were systematically analyzed by multiple regression method and variance analysis method. The regression model of air velocity at the front, middle, and back of the screen and the air deviation degree at the back of the screen surface for the three working parameters of the cleaning fan were established. The optimal working parameter combination was obtained, that is, when the air supply distance is 580 mm, the fan speed is 1000 r/min, and the number of blades is 10, the airflow velocity in front of the screen is 10.8 m/s, the airflow velocity in the middle of the screen surface is 11.8 m/s, the airflow velocity at the back of the screen surface is 11.2 m/s, and the airflow deviation degree at the back of the screen surface is 13.5%. The relative errors were 1.9%, 0, 2.8%, and 3.0%, respectively. A combined test of the fan and the cleaning screen body with a feeding capacity of 8 kg/s was carried out, and the loss rate was 1.15% and the impurities rate was 1.24%. The regression model was reliable, and the optimal operation parameter combination performed well, meeting the technical requirements of cleaning operation, and providing theoretical guidance for the adjustment of fan structure and operation parameters in the cleaning system of the grain harvester.
