REZUMAT
Obiective: Scopul acestui studiu este de a evalua, cu ajutorul microscopiei electronice de baleaj şi a metalografiei, caracteristicile sudurii laser în cazul a
două aliaje diferite. Material şi metodă: Aliajele utilizate sunt aliajul pe bază de titan TA6V4 şi un aliaj standard Au-Pd, pentru tehnica metalo-ceramică.
Rezultate: Analiza metalurgică, prin metalografie şi microscopie electronică de baleaj, după aplicarea unui singur impuls laser, a eşantionului de aliaj
TA6V4 este caracterizată prin apariţia, după răcire, a unei zone de topire, a unei zone afectate termic şi a unei zone ce corespunde aliajului de bază.
Limita de elasticitate scade la aplicarea temperaturii crescute, iar rezistenţa la oboseală nu este afectată de sudura laser. În cazul aliajului Au-Pd în tehnica
metalo-ceramică, ca şi în cazul aliajului pe bază de titan, apare o zonă de de afectare termică foarte perturbată, precum şi o structură lamelară a zonei
de topire. Rezistenţa la fractură în cazul sudurii laser este mai bună decât în cazul lipirii. Pe de altă parte, rezistenţa la oboseală a sudurii laser este mai
scăzută decât în cazul lipirii. Concluzii: Sudurile sunt satisfăcătoare din punct de vedere mecanic. Pentru a se evita problemele, iniţial, ambele părţi ale
piesei de sudat trebuie supuse unui impact energetic de nivel scăzut, urmând să se utilizeze apoi o energie mai mare pentru umplere.
Cuvinte cheie: sudură laser, metalografie, microscopie electronică de baleaj
ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess, by scanning electronic microscope (SEM) observation and metallography, the characteristics of laser
welding carried out with two different alloys.Material and methods: The alloys used are the titanium-based TA6V4 alloy and a standard Au–Pd alloy for
the metallo-ceramic technique.Results: Metallurgic analysis, by metallography and scanning electronic microscope observation, after a single impulse
laser impact, of the TA6V4 alloy sample is characterized in the following way: after cooling, there is a melting area (MA), a thermally-affected area (TAA)
and an area corresponding to the base alloy (BAA). The elasticity limit during high temperatures decreases and the resistance to wear is rather unaffected
by laser welding.For the Au–Pd alloy in the metallo-ceramic technique, like in the case of the titanium-based alloy, there is a very perturbed TAA and a
lamellar structure of the melting area. The resistance to fracture of the laser welded area is higher that in the case of brazing. On the other hand, the wear
resistance of laser welding is lower than that of brazing.Conclusions: The welding is mechanically satisfactory. In order to avoid problems, initially, both
parts of the joined piece should be subjected to low level energy impacts, followed by greater energy for filling.
Key words: laser beam welding, metallography, scanning electronic microscopy
