Provided is a multimaterial joint material that contributes to multimaterialization and a reduction in weight of a transport apparatus, the multimaterial joint material being configured from: a flame-retardant magnesium alloy; and a metal or alloy selected from the group consisting of aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, stainless steel, and steel. This multimaterial joint material is such that two or more layers of different types of metal materials are joined, wherein the multimaterial joint material is characterized in that: of the two or more layers of metal materials, at least one layer comprises a flame-retardant magnesium alloy, and another layer comprises a metal or alloy selected from the group consisting of aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, stainless steel, and steel; and the two or more layers of metal materials are joined together across the entire surface of joining surfaces that overlap each other.

Provided is a brazed aluminum member brazed with a member formed of a brazing sheet, in which two or more grooves are provided on a surface of the brazed aluminum member in a fillet forming area, a groove depth (D1) of the grooves is 0.005 mm to 0.50 mm, a groove width (W1) of the grooves is 0.005 mm to 0.50 mm, a ratio (W1/D1) of the groove width (W1) to the groove depth (D1) is 10.00 or less, and a space (P1) between adjacent grooves is 0.00 mm to 0.30 mm. The present invention provides an aluminum alloy material and a method for manufacturing a brazed body that can secure good brazing properties even when the clearance between the jointed members is large in the case where the aluminum material is brazed without using a flux.

The present disclosure relates generally to an improved design of a metal-cored welding wire electrode for use on a high deposition rate welding process that resistively preheats the wire prior to being subjected to the welding current. The preheat circuit reduces the welding current drawn by the electrode so that higher wire feed speeds, and thus higher deposition rates, may be obtained. The metal-cored welding wire includes both a higher fill rate (a greater percentage of the welding wire is the granular core) along with added sulfur and an added bead wetting agent. The bead wetting agent may be one or more of selenium, tellurium, arsenic, gallium, bismuth, and tin. The improved metal-cored welding wire leads to an enhanced weld deposit appearance that means the weld deposits are less likely to be rejected as unusable.

An airfoil includes a first airfoil piece and a second airfoil piece that is bonded to the first airfoil piece at a joint. The first airfoil piece and the second airfoil piece are formed of aluminum alloys. At least one of the aluminum alloys is an aluminum alloy composition that has greater than 0.8% by weight of zinc. The joint includes a braze element of magnesium, zinc, or combinations thereof in a higher concentration than in other portions of the first airfoil piece and the second airfoil piece.

and magnesium and unavoidable, in particular production-related, contaminants as the rest.

A universal approach is described to produce welding filler materials with enhanced grain refining, for making welded objects with hot-crack resistance. Some variations provide a welding filler material comprising a functionalized metal-containing powder, wherein the functionalized metal-containing powder comprises metal or metal alloy particles and a plurality of nanoparticles disposed on surfaces of the metal or metal alloy particles, and wherein the nanoparticles are consolidated in a three-dimensional architecture throughout the welding filler material. A welded object contains a welding filler material comprising the functionalized metal-containing powder, enabling the welded object to be free of hot cracks. Other variations provide methods of making a welding filler material. This approach has been successfully demonstrated by incorporating zirconium-based nanoparticle grain refiners within a welding precursor material for welding aluminum alloy Al 7075, as one non-limiting example.
