Microstructure and mechanical properties of 2060 Al–Li alloy welded by alternating current cold metal transfer with high-frequency pulse current
Al–Li alloy has been widely used in the aerospace field owing to its high strength and low density. In this study, alternating current cold metal transfer (AC CMT) along with a high-frequency pulse current technique was used to weld a 2060 Al–Li alloy using an ER5356 wire. The effect of pulse freque...

Al–Li alloy has been widely used in the aerospace field owing to its high strength and low density.

The effect of pulse frequency on the arc shape, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the welded joints was examined, and mechanical performance testing was conducted. The results revealed that the arc diameter, arc length, and arc volume showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing with an increase in the pulse frequency and reached their peak values when the pulse frequency was 50 kHz. Coupling the welding process with a high-frequency pulse resulted in grain refinement, which was attributed to the stirring action of the arc force.
