Welding residual stress is one of the main factors that affect the strength and life of components. In order to explore the effect on residual stress of welding line by laser shock processing, finite element analysis software ANSYS is used to simulate the welding process, to calculate the distribution of welding residual stress field. On this basis, then AYSYS/LS-DYNA is used to simulate the laser shock processing on welding line. Simulation results show that residual stress distributions of weld region, heat-affected region and matrix by laser shock processing are clearly improved, and the tensile stress of weld region effectively reduce or eliminate. The simulation results and experimental results are generally consistent, it offer reasons for parameter optimization of welding and laser shock processing by finite element analysis software.

AbstractThe main aim of this investigation is to produce a welding joint of higher strength than that of base metals. Composite welded joints were produced by friction stir welding process. 6061 aluminum alloy was used as a base metal and alumina particles added to welding zone to form metal matrix composites. The volume fraction of alumina particles incorporated in this study were 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 vol% were added on both sides of welding line. Also, the alumina particles were pre-mixed with magnesium particles prior being added to the welding zone. Magnesium particles were used to enhance the bonding between the alumina particles and the matrix of 6061 aluminum alloy. Friction stir welded joints containing alumina particles were successfully obtained and it was observed that the strength of these joints was better than that of base metal. Experimental results showed that incorporating volume fraction of alumina particles up to 6 vol% into the welding zone led to higher strength of the composite welded joints as compared to plain welded joints.

Stiffener rings and stringers are used commonly in offshore and aerospace structures. Welding the stiffener to the structure causes the appearance of residual stress and distortion that leads to short-term and long-term negative effects. Residual stress and distortion of welding have destructive effects such as deformation, brittle fracture, and fatigue of the welded structures. This paper aims to investigate the effects of preheating, time interval and welding parameters such as welding current and speed on residual stress and distortion of joining an ST52-3N (DIN 1.0570) T-shape stiffener ring to an AISI 4130 (DIN 1.7218) thin-walled tubular shell by eleven pairs of welding line in both sides of the ring by means of finite element method (FEM). Results in tangent (longitudinal), axial and radial directions have been compared and the best welding methods proposed. After the comparison of the results, simultaneous welding both sides of the ring with preheating presented as the best method with less distortion and residual stresses among the studied conditions. The correctness of the FEM confirmed by the validation of the results.

The metallographic observation, thermo-simulation test and quantitative statistics were used to investigate the grain growth on different parts of the samples for Fe-40Ni-Ti alloy. The experiment results demonstrate that: near the center of the sample corresponding to the summit point of the temperature, the grain grows rapidly in 5s when the temperature reaches 1350°C, whose size is about 180μm; While the grain size of parent metal and HAZ (4mm to the welding line) remains nearly unchanged, whose size is about 80μm. The size of TiN particles in the welding line is fine than that of the parent metal obviously and the hinder to the grain boundaries can be observed. With the aid of Fe-40Ni-Ti alloy, the austenitic grain growth in the steel can be simulated.

The residual stress on X groove welding plate of high performance bridge steel 4MnNbq is analyzed. The X-ray diffraction method, hole drilling method and indentation method are respectively used to test the residual stress on welding line, heat-affected zone and base metal. The longitudinal and transversal residual stress are analyzed and compared. The results show that the stress along welding line direction is far larger than the transversal one and the stress on base metal are comparatively smaller than the welding line. The testing results of three methods match well, while the results of X-ray method and hole drilling method are much closer, the relative error of indentation method is comparatively larger.
