Description:
The use of hybrid semi-finished products made of aluminium and steel enables the production of components with locally adapted properties, i.e. high strength and wear-resistance with reduced weight. In the scope of this work, different impact extrusion processes for the forming of friction-welded hybrid semi-finished products consisting of steel (20MnCr5) and aluminium (EN AW-6082) were developed and experimentally implemented. The resulting material flows were intended to enable different joining zone geometries as well as to evaluate the influence of a thermo-mechanical treatment during the impact extrusion process on the quality of the joining zone. For this purpose, a full-forward extrusion, cup-backward extrusion, combined cup-backward-full-forward extrusion and a hollow-forward extrusion process were investigated. The evaluation of the resulting component quality was carried out based on metallographic images, which provide microstructural information about the forming-related influence on the friction welded joining zone. Based on the characteristic values determined, a correlation between the reproducibility and quality of the joining zone properties and the type of impact extrusion process is deduced. The backward extrusion processes have proven to be the best processes in terms of influencing the joining zone geometry. Further, the effect of forward extrusion showed no significant influence on the joining zone geometry, even resulting in a reduction of the joining zone formation in the combined cup-backward-full-forward extrusion process.
