Hybrid Metal Extrusion & Bonding is a new solid state joining technique developed for aluminium alloys. By the use of filler material addition and plastic deformation sound joints can be produced at operational temperatures below 400 °C. This makes the HYB process more flexible and less vulnerable to defects compared to conventional solid state processes. Here, we present the results form an exploratory investigation of the mechanical integrity of a 4 mm AA6082-T6 HYB joint, covering both hardness, tensile and Charpy V-notch testing of different weld zones. The joint is found to be free from internal defects like pores, cavities and kissing bonds. Still, a soft heat affected zone (HAZ) is present. The joint yield strength is 54 % of the base material, while the corresponding joint efficiency is 66%. Therefore, there is a potential for further optimization of the HYB process. This work is now in progress.

ABSTRACTFriction Stir Welding (FSW) is a novel solid-state joining process where the work pieces are joined together using a rotating non-consumable tool. The process has mainly been used for joining aluminium alloys, and has not yet been used in production for any other metal. However, the results from the development program confirm that FSW can consistently seal 50mm thick copper canisters without creating defects. A new machine is now installed at SKB's Canister Laboratory to further automate the process to production level.

The paper presents the application of MAG welding to TMCP steels (thermo-mechanically controlled processed) grade S960MC and 3 mm thick. In the analyzed joints, the research focused on their mechanical properties and changes in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) that occur in this type of steels. The hardness and tensile strength tests carried out showed a significant decrease in the properties of the joint compared to the declared values of the base material and the filler material used in the tests. In the case of hardness, it was a decrease of 34% in HAZ and by 15-21% in relation to the strength limit. Changes in HAZ properties of a joint correlate with changes in its structure.

Solid State Joining

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining technique initially developed for aluminium alloys. The heat generated by a rotating tool softens the material in the vicinity of the tool. The material undergoes intense plastic deformation following quite complex paths around the tool, depending on the tool geometry, process parameters and material to be welded. The comprehension of the material flow is essential to prevent voids and other internal defects which may form during welding. Several techniques have been used for tracking material flow during FSW such as metallography, the use of a marker material as a tracer or the flow visualization by FSW of dissimilar materials or even the X-ray and computer tomography. Some of these techniques are useless in the analysis of welds in homogenous materials or welds between materials of the same group. The aim of this investigation is tracking the material flow in FSW between 1mm thick sheets in aluminium alloys AA 5182-H111 and AA 6016-T4, currently used in automotive industry.

Steel plate making can be produced by hot and cold rolling method. To obtain the optimal results, the production on the cold rolling mill (CRM) must be carried out continuously. This CRM is equipped with a flash butt welding machine to connect between one plate and anothers. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of thickness reduction on mechanical properties of steel JIS 3141. The method used in this study is experimental, namely mechanical properties testing at weld area, heat affected zone (HAZ) and base material. The thickness reductions used in this research are 0%, 69,78%, 71,56% and 73,33%. The material characteristics observed were hardness, tensile strength, yield strength, elaongation and corrosion rate. From this study it is known that the thickness reduction 73.33% resulted the best mechanical properties. The values ​​of hardness, tensile strength, yield strength and corrosion rate were 82.26 HRB, 644 N / mm2, 501 N / mm2 and 1.3844 mpy, respectively.

Friction stir welding (FSW), a novel solid-state joining process, was applied to girth weld API 5L Grade 65 steel pipes with an outer diameter of 12.75″ (324 mm) and a wall thickness of 0.25″ (6.35 mm). Fully consolidated single pass butt welds were obtained using a specially designed mechanized portable FSW system suitable for on-site pipe construction welding. The friction stir girth weld shows a slightly overmatched strength and superior impact toughness in comparison with the base metal, a very desirable combination of properties for pipeline weld that can be attributed to the wrought microstructure with refined grains in the stir zone (SZ), the thermal-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ), and the heat-affected zone (HAZ).

Joining aluminum alloy sheets is increasingly important in manufacturing. Traditional welding techniques create a heat-affected zone (HAZ) around the joint; however, solid-state joining methods such as impact welding produce joints without significant heat. Here, electrically vaporized foil actuators (VFA) provided the high-pressure pulses needed for impact welding. 0.96 mm thick AA6061-T6 and 0.76 mm thick AA5052 were joined in lap and spotlike configurations, at a variety of impact velocities. The welds failed in coach-peel outside the joint interface. The 5052 hardened within 100 μm of the interface. The 6061-T6 may have softened slightly within 50 μm of the interface.

The International Maritime Organization has recently updated the ship emission standards to reduce atmospheric contamination. One technique for reducing emissions involves using liquefied natural gas (LNG). The tanks used for the transport and storage of LNG must have very low thermal expansion and high cryogenic toughness. For excellent cryogenic properties, high-Mn steel with a complete austenitic structure is used to design these tanks. We aim to determine the optimum welding conditions for performing Laser-MIG (Metal Inert Gas) hybrid welding through the MIG leading and laser following processes. A welding speed of 100 cm/min was used for welding a 15 mm thick high-Mn steel plate. The welding performance was evaluated through mechanical property tests (tensile and yield strength, low-temperature impact, hardness) of the welded joints after performing the experiment. As a result, it was confirmed that the tensile strength was slightly less than 818.4 MPa, and the yield strength was 30% higher than base material. The low-temperature impact values were equal to or greater than 58 J at all locations in the weld zone. The hardness test confirmed that the hardness did not exceed 292 HV. The results of this study indicate that it is possible to use laser-MIG hybrid welding on thick high-Mn steel plates.

Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW) is assumed as an environment-friendly technique, suitable for the spot welding of several materials. Nevertheless, it is consensual that the temperature control during the process is not feasible, since the exact heat generation mechanisms are still unknown. In current work, the heat generation in FSSW of aluminium alloys, was assessed by producing bead-on-plate spot welds using pinless tools. Coated and uncoated tools, with varied diameters and rotational speeds, were tested. Heat treatable (AA2017, AA6082 and AA7075) and non-heat treatable (AA5083) aluminium alloys were welded to assess any possible influence of the base material properties on heat generation. A parametric analysis enabled to establish a relationship between the process parameters and the heat generation. It was found that for rotational speeds higher than 600 rpm, the main process parameter governing the heat generation is the tool diameter. For each tool diameter, a threshold in the welding temperature was identified, which is independent of the rotational speed and of the aluminium alloy being welded. It is demonstrated that, for aluminium alloys, the temperature in FSSW may be controlled using a suitable combination of rotational speed and tool dimensions. The temperature evolution with process parameters was modelled and the model predictions were found to fit satisfactorily the experimental results.
