The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique is employed to measure residual stress induced by the laser welding of 6.7 mm thick ASTM A514 high strength steel plates. The distribution of residual stress in the weld bead is investigated. The results indicate that the fusion zone (FZ) has the maximum tensile stress, the transition from tensile to compressive stress tends to appear in the heat affected zone (HAZ), and the initial stress far from the weld center are not influenced by the welding process. Based on the measurement data, the influence of the laser power and the welding speed on residual stress is obtained. The magnitude of residual stress near the weld bead increases with an increase in laser power or a decrease in welding speed. The welds with incomplete penetration have a considerably lower magnitude of residual stress in FZ than ones with full penetration. Post-weld heat treatment is utilized to relieve residual stress in the weld bead. Although residual stress is not completely relieved after the heat treatment, a dramatically reduced magnitude and much more uniform distribution are achieved. In addition, the effects of the laser power, the welding speed, the laser spot diameter, and the gap between two plates on the weld shape are also studied.

In welding, the quality of welded joints is greatly influenced by the welding process parameters. Thus, in order to achieve a good weld quality, there is exigency to select the right welding process parameters. The focus of this study is to investigate the effect of Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding process parameters; welding current, welding voltage and welding speed on the tensile strength of mild steel AA10119 welded plates. The experiment was designed using Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array with three levels. Kaierda MIG MAG Inverter CO2 Welder Model E-180 welding machine was used to conduct the experiments with three repetitions. From the analysis carried out by applying Taguchi’s method, the result shows that the welding speed and welding current have the most significant influence on tensile strength of the weld and an optimum parameter setting of A3B2C2 was suggested; welding current 240 A, welding voltage 25 V and welding speed 0.010 m/s. The mean tensile strength at this optimal setting A3B2C2 was predicted to be 442 N/mm2.

Pulse wave (PW) welding technique has become more adequate process to produce a deep penetration welding with smaller fusion zone and heat affected zone for automotive steel joint. A 1.6 mm thickness of N22CB boron steel from advance high strength steel (AHSS) type was welded by using PW mode from a low power Nd: YAG laser. The process parameters studied in this paper are pulsed energy, Ep, focal length, F, and welding speed, S. Bead-on-plate (BOP) welding was used in this experiment. The effect of parameters on the weld pool geometry was studied. Higher pulsed energy gives high weld penetration and higher weld width, contributing to the bigger weld pool size. Positive defocus position of focal length produces weld geometry with high penetration depth and smaller bead width compared to negative defocus position. Lower welding speed could produce deep penetration depth as the high heat input produced.

AbstractCarbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is the most preferred composite material due to its high strength, high modulus, corrosion resistance and rigidity and which has wide applications in aerospace engineering, automobile sector, sports instrumentation, light trucks, airframes. This paper is an attempt to carry out drilling experiments as per Taguchi’s L27(313) orthogonal array on CFRP under dry condition with three different drill bit type (HSS, TiAlN and TiN). In this research work Response Surface Analysis (RSA) is used to correlate the effect of process parameters (cutting speed and feed rate) on thrust force, torque, vibration and surface roughness. This paper also focuses on determining the optimum combination of input process parameter and the drill bit type that produces quality holes in CFRP composite laminate using Multi-objective Taguchi technique and TOPSIS. The percentage of contribution, influence of process parameters and adequacy of the second order regression model is carried out by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of experimental investigation demonstrates that feed rate is the pre-dominate factor which affects the response variables.

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.

Reproducibility in respect to welded structures realization is one of the main requirements for a wide variety of industrial applications. One of the international tendencies regarding the use of the steel is the replacing, in critical areas, of structural steels with high performance steel, e.g. with HSLA steels. The paper presents the results of a factorial designed experimental program focused on determining mathematical correlations between the GMAW process parameters for T joints of 4mm thick steel plates of structural (S235JR+AR according to SR EN 10025-2) and hot-rolled, high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel plates (S420MC according to EN 10025-4), respectively. A comparison between the obtained mathematical correlations that connect the welding parameters and the main mechanical characteristics is presented. The correlations can be used for applying the optimal combination of welding process parameters for realizing the T-joints of welded products.
