Welding Processes

Magnesium alloy ZM21 plates were welded using friction stir welding, a solid state process and gas tungsten arc welding which is a fusion welding process. Defect free, full penetration welds were obtained after several trials using different process parameters. The effect of welding processes on mechanical properties of Mg-Zn-Mn joints were evaluated using tensile tests, bend test, vickers micro hardness measurements and optical microscopy. Welds produced by Friction stir welding process exhibited superior tensile properties compared to Gas Tungsten Arc Welding process. Hardness reduction in the weld metals were observed for both the welding techniques. Friction stir welds showed finer grains in the weld nugget and in the heat affected zone. Both types of welds exhibited good bend ductility comparable to that of the base material. It has been concluded that both the processes are well suited to obtain sound welds of the magnesium alloy ZM21 and Friction stir welding process offers stronger welds.

In this investigation an attempt has been made to study the effect of welding on fusion characteristics of pulsed current gas tungsten arc welded AZ31B magnesium alloy joints. Five joints were fabricated using different levels of welding speed (105 mm/min –145 mm/min). From this investigation, it is found that the joints fabricated using a welding speed of 135 mm/min yielded superior tensile properties compared to other joints. The formation of finer grains and higher hardness in fusion zone and uniformly distributed precipitates are the main reasons for the higher tensile properties of these joints

To resolve the problem of grain coarsening occurring in the fusion zone and the heat-affected zone during conventional gas tungsten arc welding(C-GTAW) welded titanium alloy, which severely restricts the improvement of weld mechanical properties, welding experiments on Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy by adopting ultra-high frequency pulse gas tungsten arc welding (UHFP-GTAW) technique were carried out to study arc characteristics and weld bead microstructure. Combined with image processing technique, arc shapes during welding process were observed by high-speed camera. Meanwhile the average arc pressure under various welding parameters were obtained by adopting pressure measuring equipment with high-precision. In addition, the metallographic samples of the weld cross section were prepared for observing weld bead geometry and microstructure of the fusion zone. The experimental results show that, compared with C-GTAW, UHFP-GTAW process provides larger arc energy density and higher proportion of arc core region to the whole arc area. Moreover, UHFP-GTAW process has the obviously effect on grain refinement, which can decrease the grain size of the fusion zone. The results also revealed that a significant increase of arc pressure while increasing pulse frequency of UHFP-GTAW, which could improve the depth-to-width ratio of weld beads.
