摘要

采用计算流体力学（CFD）方法研究了6061铝合金搅拌摩擦焊过程中的界面摩擦行为与材料流动行为。通过在搅拌头-工件界面采用剪切力边界条件，实现了焊接过程中界面摩擦与材料流动的完全耦合分析。结果表明，搅拌头与工件间的界面摩擦行为呈现显著的非均匀特征：轴肩芯部及环形槽内呈近似黏着摩擦，轴肩外缘区域呈滑动摩擦；搅拌针侧面呈现不同程度的滑动状态，界面滑动比例随其到轴肩的距离增加而增加。摩擦界面附近存在厚度为0.66~4 mm的低粘度区。在低粘度区，工件上部材料流动速度可达0.17 m/s，应变率可达85.7 s

；在工件下部材料流动速度可达0.017 m/s，应变速率可达11.7 s

。从材料流经低粘度区的流动路径来看，搅拌摩擦焊过程材料流动呈现多圈旋转及直通两种模式。仿真得到的温度、低粘度区形状及标记材料沉积位置均得到了实验结果的印证。

Abstract

In this paper

the interface friction and material flow behavior of 6061 aluminum alloy during friction stir welding are studied by computational fluid dynamics. By adopting the shear stress boundary condition at the interface between the tool and the workpiece

the analysis of interface friction and material flow is realized in a fully coupled manner. The results show that the interfacial friction behavior between the tool and the workpiece presents significant non-uniform characteristics: approximate sticking friction ispresent atthe annulargroove of the shoulder

and slidingfriction ispresent at the periphery of the shoulder. The interfacial sliding in different degrees is present at the pin side

and the sliding index of the interface increases with the distance from the shoulder. There is a low viscosity zone with a thickness of 0.66~4 mm near the friction interface. In the low viscosity region

the material flow velocity on the upper portion of the workpiece reaches 0.17 m/s

and the strain rate reaches 85.7 s

-1

. On the lower portion of the workpiece

the material flow velocity reaches 0.017 m/s and the strain rate reaches11.7 s

-1

. Regarding the material flow path through the low viscosity zone

the material flow presents two modes: multi-circle rotation and straight-through flow. The simulated temperature

geometry of low viscosity zone and deposition position of marker materials are validated by the experimental results.
