Abstract

Aluminum (Al) alloy welded structures are widely used in industry and daily life, while welded joints are easily produced defects, including macro and microscopic defects. It is a hot topic to study the effect of microscopic defects on the properties of welded joints. In this paper, a two-dimensional rate-dependent crystal plasticity model is established by using a numerical model, and then the mechanical behaviors of welded joints with micropores under tensile load is simulated in a mesoscale. The mechanical properties are described by varying the sizes and positions of micropores. The stress-strain response, equivalent plastic strain and equivalent stress distributions of polycrystalline Al alloy welded joints with different micropores are obtained. The results verify that those micropores have certain impact on the start of slip systems and the ability of resisting the deformation of polycrystalline joints. Compared with the positions of micropores, the sizes of micropores have a greater impact on the mechanical properties of the polycrystalline joints.
