ABSTRACT

The features of the generation of acoustic emissions (AEs) during the initiation of a fatigue failure in various zones of a welded joint of thermally hardened 2219T6grade aluminum alloy, which is produced using electronbeam welding, are  considered. Metallographic studies showed that a welded joint of the alloy is structurally and mechanically inhomogeneous. This predominantly influ ences the initiation and development kinetics of fatigue cracks in the joint and the AE kinetics. It is shown that the area of a formed flaw is proportional to the sum of the amplitude of detected signals, and the transition from the initiation to the stable propagation of a failure is accompanied by an abrupt increase in AE activity.
