Abstract

The data set records the difficulties often encountered in the welding process of dissimilar metals and put forward some solutions, which provide an effective reference for the welding of dissimilar metals in the future. The connection of dissimilar metals is one of the most popular topics recently. At present, the connection methods of dissimilar metals are mechanical connection, bonding and welding. Mechanical connection can only be used in some areas with low requirements for sealing and surface smoothness because it cannot guarantee its sealing and surface smoothness. Bonding because of its poor connection strength can only be used in places where the strength requirements are not high. Since 2014, we have conducted dissimilar metal laser welding experiments on titanium (Ti)/steel and steel/aluminum (Al), and obtained more than 800 sets of data. By adjusting the welding parameters and welding process, safe and reliable joints can be obtained. A large number of studies have found that the main factor affecting the strength of dissimilar metal joints is the formation of a large number of intermetallic compound (IMCs) during welding, and most of IMCs are brittle phases. In order to further control the formation of IMCs in the process of dissimilar metal welding, we invented a new welding structure by using the special advantages of explosive welding. A large number of experiments show that the structure can effectively avoid the formation of IMCs in the welding process. In order to obtain high strength and good performance joints, control the formation of IMCs has become a key means.
