Mg / Al bimetal
• Cooperation and word of thanks:– prof. Ing. Eva Mazancová, CSc.– Ing. Dmytro OstroushkoVŠB-Technical University of Ostrava, Czech republic
manufacturer: EXPLOMET, PolandMg:- lightest among
metallic materials- density is about
2/3 of that of aluminium
- recycled without any degradation in physical properties
Al:- corrosion
resistance - high strength to
weight ratio- good formability

Metallography
• average thickness of the interface 45 microns

Optical profilometry
• the difference is approximately 8 microns (Al higher)

Micro - hardness

• step: 120 microns• micro - hardness of the joined materials measured far
from their interface is similar for both materials• in the region of interface the hardness drops down by
40% to about 50 HV0.1

Conclusion– the results of metallographic and microchemical
analysis showed that a wavy Al / Mg explosive welded interface is molten in a very thin (45 m wide) region
– in the welded bond, there is substantial chemical inhomogeneity
– hardness in the middle of the Al / Mg interface region drops down by 40% from ~80HV0.1 to ~ 50 HV0.1 indicating some kind of thermal induced microstructure relaxation
– at the interface no intermetallics were observed– we proved an existence of solid solution with
gradually changed chemical composition from the centre of weld to the material
