Abstract

MB2 alloy and LY12 alloy were welded by vacuum diffusion welding. The element distribution and intermetallic compounds at the interface were characterized by Scanning Acoustic Microscopy, SEM, XRD and EPMA. The results show that the welding interface bonding rate can be improved with the welding temperature, and the welding interface bonding can be achieved completely at the condition of 3MPa, 100min and 480°C. The solid solution Al(ss, Mg) and Mg(ss, Al) formed at the interface. Also, Al 12Mg 17, AlMg and Al 3Mg 2 formed at the interface, where the joint fracture occurred, and the thickness of the intermetallic compounds increase with increase of the temperature. The reaction layers of MB2 and LY12 welding joints can be divided into the following stages: effective physical contact, solid solution generating, intermetallic reaction layer generating, and intermetallic layer growing.
