摘要

In the article we analyzed shape, local mechanical properties, chemical and phase composition of Magnesium/Aluminium cladded material prepared by explosion welding. In particular we focus our investigation on Mg/Al interface and areas close to the joint. Hardness of the joined materials measured far from their interface is similar for both materials, however in the region of interface the hardness drops down by 40%. Phase transformations in the interface was examined by a hard X-ray micro-diffraction experiment performed at beamline P07 at PETRA III at the energy of 99 keV which helped us identify in Al: fcc-Al, Al2Cu tetragonal and Al7Cu2Fe tetragonal and in Mg: hcp-Mg, Mg2Si cubic phases. In the interface we haven’t observed any new intermetallics, but computation of lattice parameters and profiles of Al and Mg peaks proved an existence of solid solution with different gradient of chemical composition.
