Abstract:Heat treatment was carried out to the 1420 Al-Li alloy electron beam welding (EBW) joints after welding, and the microstructures of welded joints are analyzed systematically before and after post-weld heat treatment (PWHT). The observation of joint microstructure demonstrates that the grain morphology of weldment changes from equiaxed dendrites in as-welded (AW) condition into equiaxed grains after PWHT, and that the fine strengthening phases precipitate within the grain. The XRD analysis of phase constituent … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
