Abstract
Shear assisted processing and extrusion has been used to fabricate multi-metallic tubing that incorporates regions with clad and butt-joined structures. In this work, aluminum alloys 6061, 7075, and 1100 are combined to create a monolithic extruded tubing with weldable ends (6061), a high strength center (7075), and a corrosion-resistant cladding (1100). Optical microscopy shows a gradual, defect-free, transition between alloys at the butt-joint interfaces and a sharp transition between alloys at the clad interface. Tensile testing proved the mechanical coherency of the joint, with failure occurring outside the tri-metallic structure. Smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations identified a spiral pattern of the cladding alloy that leads to inconsistent cladding thickness, and identified a simplified 2-alloy combination of aluminum alloys 6082 and 2014 that accomplished the design objectives of the tri-metallic structure.
