In this work, simulation has been carried out for multipass Gas tungsten Arc Welding of SS316L and their effects were studied for thermal, and residual stresses and compared with experimental results. The sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical, transient thermal and static structural analysis was modelled using ANSYS with relevant Ansys Parametric Design Language coding. Infrared thermography camera was used to obtain the real time temperatures during the welding. The effect of temperatures and the induced residual stresses of the weldment is measured with X-Ray diffraction technique. Tensile residual stresses have been identified at fusion zone and compressive stresses at heat affected zone. Pass wise temperature measurements were taken from analysis and experiment the agreement with 7.24%. The agreement of measured and analysed residual stress had an agreement with 16.66%.

Different Thickness

TiN coatings were deposited on AISI M2 high-speed-steel (HSS) substrates by multi-arc ion plating technique. The thickness of substrate was 1.0 mm and five thicknesses of TiN coatings were 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 and 11.0 μm, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been used for measuring residual stresses. The stresses along five different directions (Ψ=0°, 20.7°, 30°, 37.8° and 45°) have been measured by recording the peak positions of TiN (220) reflection for each 2θ at different tilt angles Ψ. Residual compressive stresses present in the TiN coatings. Furthermore, the results revealed that the value of the residual stresses in TiN coatings was high. While the coatings thickness changed from 3 to 11 μm, the residual stresses varied from -3.22 to -2.04 GPa, the intrinsic stresses -1.32 to -0.14 GPa, the thermal stresses -1.86 to -1.75 GPa. The residual stresses in TiN coatings showed a nonlinear change. When the coatings thickness was about 8 μm, the residual stresses in TiN coatings reached to the maximum value.

Abstract: This work is distinguished by searching for a non-destructive technology, and X-ray diffraction was validated by the XStress 3000 analyser. Measurements of residual stresses in the welded zone of premium pearlitic rails was performed, rail surface hardness of 370 HB and 0.79% carbon content. The welding of the rails was done by flash butt process, performed by Schlatter GAAS 80 stationary equipment. The results of the tensile and compressive stress measurements identified the residual stresses in the welded zone, with specific zones of tensile stresses misplaced at the weld center, with values up to 391 MPa, and compressive stresses, with values up to -166 MPa, as it moves away rails weld center. An important point of this study is the residual stress measurement considering a complete welding process, including: pre-grinding, flash butt welding, heat treatment, finishing grinding and straightening. Lastly, was observed the welding technique potentially can induce residual stresses at rails.

AbstractThe fusion welding process of metallic components, such as using gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), is often accompanied by detrimental deformations and residual stresses, which affect the strength and functionality of these components. In this work, a phase-field model, usually used to track the states of phase-change materials, is embedded in a thermo-elastoplastic finite element model to simulate the GTAW process and estimate the residual stresses. This embedment allows to track the moving melting front of the metallic material induced by the welding heat source and, thus, splits the domain into soft and hard solid regions with a diffusive interface between them. Additionally, temperature- and phase-field-dependent material properties are considered. The J2 plasticity model with isotropic hardening is considered. The coupled system of equations is solved in the FE package FEniCS, whereas two- and three-dimensional initial-boundary-value problems are introduced and the results are compared with reference data from the literature.

Compressive Stresses

Welding technologies are indispensable for fabricating various industrial structures and must be highly reliable. Since tensile residual stresses at surface after welding cause crack progress, it is important to understand how stresses built up during the welding process in order to optimize final residual stresses as reduced tensile or introduced compressive stresses. Therefore, we conducted in-situ measurements of phase transformations, stresses and temperatures during tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding to understand how stresses built up. X-ray diffraction rings were detected per 0.1 sec during TIG welding by using a large-area two-dimensional detector and the accuracy of the stress analysis was estimated to be 8 MPa using the sin2ψ technique. In this paper, we described the phase transformations of ferrite low-carbon rolled steel and the changes in stresses during TIG welding.

The welding process causes transient thermal stresses and non-continuous plastic strains around the weld due to the induced high temperatures. Uneven heating and cooling during the welding process cause a residual stresses in the welded member. The paper deals with the local influence of welding process and its global consequences at the creation and final redistribution of welding stresses. The paper also presents a verification of Modified empirical formulae, developed by the author, using experimental results of research program oriented to the effects of welding stresses and beams local stability [1, 2 and 3].

Compressive Residual Stresses

The fatigue life of welded joints can be improved by modifying the weld toe geometry or by inducing beneficial compressive residual stresses in the weld. However, in the second case, the induced compressive residual stresses may relax when the welded joint is subjected to cyclic loading containing high tensile or compressive stress peaks. The stability of induced compressive stresses is investigated for a longitudinal gusset made of a S355 steel. Two methods are considered; either carrying out a high frequency mechanical impact (HFMI) treatment after welding or alternatively using low transformation temperature (LTT) electrodes during welding. The specimen is then subjected to a cyclic loading case with one cycle with a tensile peak (with magnitude reaching the local yield stress level) followed by cycles with constant amplitude. A sequential finite element analysis (FEA) is performed thereby preserving the history of the elasto-plastic behavior. Both the welding process and the HFMI treatment are simulated using simplified approaches, i.e., the welding process is simulated by applying a simplified thermal cycle while the HFMI treatment is simulated by a quasi-static contact analysis. It is shown that using the simplified approaches to modelling both the welding process and HFMI treatment gives results that correlate qualitatively well with the experimental and FEA data available in the literature. Thus, for comparison purposes, simplified models may be sufficient. Both the use of the HFMI treatment and LTT electrodes give approximately the same compressive stress at the weld toe but the extent of the compressive stress zone is deeper for HFMI case. During cyclic loading it is shown that the beneficial effect of both methods will be substantially reduced if the test specimen is subjected to unexpected peak loads. For the chosen load sequence, with the same maximum local stress at the weld toe, the differences in stress curves of the HFMI-treated specimen and that with LTT electrodes remain. While the LTT electrode gives the lowest (compressive) stress right at the well toe, it is shown that the overall effect of the HFMI treatment is more beneficial.

Fabrication and repair of aluminum components and structures commonly involves the use of electric arc welding. The interaction of the arc and the metal being welded generates ultraviolet radiation, metallic oxides, fumes, and gases. Aluminum is seldom used as the pure metal but is often alloyed with other metals to improve strength and other physical properties. Therefore, the exact composition of any emissions will depend on the welding process and the particular aluminum alloy being welded. To quantify such emissions, The Aluminum Association sponsored several studies to characterize arc welding emissions by the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) processes for various combinations of base and filler alloys. In all cases, the tests were conducted under conditions that could be found in a production weld shop without forced ventilation. The concentrations of each analyte that a welder could be exposed to were greatly affected by the welding process, the composition of the base and filler alloys, the position of the welder, and the welding helmet. The results obtained can be used by employers to identify and control potential hazards associated with the welding of aluminum alloys and can provide the basis for hazard communication to employees involved in the welding of these alloys.

The consequence of sub-zero treatment on the mechanical properties of welded AA6082-T6 by Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) which in turn softens the heat concentrated welded region owing to dissolution of the strengthening precipitates. The sub-zero i.e. Shallow Cryogenic Treatment (SCT) is carried out on GTAW welded plate having a thickness of 6 mm at -77°C by varying the electrode travel speed and sub-zero treatment periods. Welded region of AA6082 were tested for hardness and microstructure by adapting three different conditions such as welded, post weld artificial aging with and without sub-zero treatment. Result revealed that the amount of softening in the welded region is indirectly proportional to electrode travel speed during welding process. It is also observed that the post weld SCT with artificial aging has increased the micro hardness values on the welded region as a consequence of the reactivation in the sequence of precipitation.
