Spot Welded

Evaluating the strength performance of spot-welded joints of dissimilar material is critical for their continued integration into the automobile and aerospace industries. The effect of weld joint strength is an important consideration in the design of weld structures. The objective of the present work undertaken to investigate the effect of the input process parameters on the strength of the welded joint of dissimilar material. Full factorial design (FFD) has used for designing the experiment matrix. Further, experimental results have used to develop a mathematical model to predict the strength of the spot weld joint. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) has been applied to establish the correlation between the process parameters and their interaction on the output. The confirmation test case experiments have conducted for validating the developed mathematical model and observed that the developed model is capable of evaluating weld joint strength within the process parameters.

The orthogonal experimental design was conducted for linear friction welding of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy (TC4). The friction power and joint temperature were collected during the welding process. The influence of process parameters on the axial shortening was analyzed. The suitable process parameters were determined by investigating the joint appearance, the requirement of axial shortening and welding variables during welding. The results provide important reference for establishing process parameters of linear friction welding in practice.

Introduction. Among the technologies for manufacturing rocket and aircraft bodies, marine vessels, and vehicles, currently, more and more attention is paid to the technology of friction stir welding (FSW). First of all, the use of this technology is necessary where it is required to produce fixed joints of high-strength aluminum alloys. In this case, special attention should be paid to welding thick-walled blanks, as fixed joints with a thickness of 30.0 mm or more are the target products in the rocket-space and aviation industries. At the same time, it is most prone to the formation of defects due to uneven heat distribution throughout the height of the blank. It can lead to a violation of the adhesive interaction between the weld metal and the tool and can even lead to a destruction of the welding tool. The purpose of this work is to reveal regularities of welding tool destruction depending on parameters of friction stir welding process of aluminum alloy AA5056 fixed joints with a thickness of 35.0 mm. Following research methods were used in the work: the obtaining of fixed joints was carried out by friction welding with mixing, the production of samples for research was carried out by electric erosion cutting, the study of samples was carried out using optical metallography methods. Results and discussion. As a result of performed studies, it is revealed that samples of aluminum alloy with a thickness of 35.0 mm have a heterogeneous structure through the height of weld. There are the tool shoulder effect zone and the pin effect zone, in which certain whirling of weld material caused by the presence of grooves on tool surface is distinctly distinguished. It is shown that the zone of shoulders effect is the most exposed to the formation of tunnel-type defects because of low loading force and high welding speeds. It is revealed that tool destruction occurs tangentially to the surface of the tool grooves due to the high tool load and high welding speeds.

Precipitation hardening aluminum alloys are used in many industries due to their excellent mechanical properties, including good weldability. During a welding process, the tensile strength of the joint is critical to appropriately exploit the original properties of the material. The welding processes are still under study, and gas metal arc welding (GMAW) in pulsed metal-transfer configuration is one of the best choices to join these alloys. In this study, the welding of 6061 aluminum alloy by pulsed GMAW was performed under two heat treatment conditions and by using two filler metals, namely: ER 4043 (AlSi5) and ER 4553 (AlMg5Cr). A solubilization heat treatment T4 was used to dissolve the precipitates of β”- phase into the aluminum matrix from the original T6 heat treatment, leading in the formation of β-phase precipitates instead, which contributes to higher mechanical resistance. As a result, the T4 heat treatment improves the quality of the weld joint and increases the tensile strength in comparison to the T6 condition. The filler metal also plays an important role, and our results indicate that the use of ER 4043 produces stronger joints than ER 4553, but only under specific processing conditions, which include a moderate heat net flux. The latter is explained because Mg, Si and Cu are reported as precursors of the production of β”- phase due to heat input from the welding process and the redistribution of both: β” and β precipitates, causes a ductile intergranular fracture near the heat affected zone of the weld joint.
