Welding is an important process in terms of manufacturing components for various types of machines and structures. One of the vital and still unsolved issues is determining the quality and properties welded joint in an online manner. In this paper, a technique for prediction of joint hardness based on the sequence of thermogram acquired during welding process is proposed. First, the correspondence between temperature, welding linear energy and hardness was revealed and confirmed using correlation analysis. Using a linear regression model, relations between temperature and hardness were described. According to obtained results in the joint area, prediction error was as low as 1.25%, while for HAZ it exceeded 15%. Future work on optimizing model and input data for HAZ hardness prediction are planned.

AbstractIn this study, plates of Inconel 600 superalloy were gas metal arc welded to investigate the effects of the welding process on the creep behavior of the welded samples and compare it to the creep behavior of samples in the as-received condition. Creep tests were performed at two temperatures (600 and 650 °C) with different stress levels. During the welding process, three distinctive microstructural zones are generated, i.e. welded material, heat affected zone, and base metal that may affect the properties of the welded joint. Microstructural, elemental analysis of samples was conducted using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The experimental results show that creep rupture preferentially occurs in the heat-affected zone of the base metal at 4 mm from the fusion line and that the creep behavior of welded samples is different from that of the base metal. These results can be used in the design of structural components to assure their structural integrity.

Welding is an important process because it provides a permanent bond and the welded parts become a single unit. When joining two metals a joint (welded joint) is created where they will have certain characteristics, as well as if it is not the application of the correct form possibly discontinuities will remain. In any welding process, defects may occur, the main thing is to ensure that the penetration depth of the weld is correct and the accuracy of the performance of the functions to be performed. A company from Aguascalientes dedicated to the manufacture of die-cut, machined and welded parts has requested that an analysis to the welding applied to a piece that has sectioned it into 8 parts which contain the welding points required to form the structure of an armrest support. The study was carried out by means of a macro metallography where the main characteristic that was requested was exposed and that is the depth of the weld. The results reflect that the welding process is very dispersed and requires control of its parameters. 62% of the measured data complies with what is specified in VW 01106-1 edition 2015 - 04 with a minimum depth of 1.0 mm. The detail of this data can be reviewed within this report

Titanium alloy TC1 and Aluminum alloy LF6 were jointed by friction stir welding (FSW), and the influence of process parameters on formation of weld surface, cross-section morphology and tensile strength were studied. The results show that, Titanium and Aluminum dissimilar alloy is difficult to be joined by FSW, and some defects such as cracks and grooves are easy to occur. When the rotational speed of stir head(n) is 750r/min and 950r/min, the welding speed(v) is 118mm/min or 150mm/min, a good formation of weld surface can be obtained, but the bonding of titanium/aluminum interface in the cross-section of weld joint is bad when n is 750r/min which results in a low strength joint. When n is 950r/min and v is 118mm/min,the strength of the FSW joint of Titanium/Aluminum dissimilar materials is 131MPa which is the highest.

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) is the leading process in the development of arc welding process for higher productivity and quality. In this study, the effect of process parameters of argon gas welding on the strength of T type welded joint of AISI 310 stainless steel is analyzed. The Taguchi technique is used to develop the experimental matrix and tensile strength of the welded joint is measured using experimental method and finite element method. Optimization of input parameter is performed for the maximum tensile strength of welded joint using ANOVA. The results showed that welding speed is the most significant factor affecting the tensile strength followed by voltage in argon gas metal arc welding (AGMAW) process. Argon gas welding process performance with regard to the tensile strength is optimized at voltage: 18.5 V, wire feed speed: 63 m/min and welding speed: 0.36 m/min.

Introduction. One of friction stir welding types is the bobbin friction stir welding (BFSW) process, which allows to obtain welded joints in various configurations without using a substrate and axial embedding force, as well as to reduce heat loss and temperature gradient across the welded material thickness. This makes the BFSW process effective for welding aluminum alloys, which properties are determined by their structural-phase state. According to research data, the temperature and strain rate of the welded material have some value intervals in which strong defect-free joints are formed. At the same time, much less attention has been paid to the mechanisms of structure formation in the BFSW process. Therefore, to solve the problem of obtaining defect-free and strong welded joints by BFSW, an extended understanding of the basic mechanisms of structure formation in the welding process is required. The aim of this work is to research the mechanisms of structure formation in welded joint of AA2024 alloy obtained by bobbin tool friction stir welding with variation of the welding speed. Results and discussion. Weld formation conditions during BFSW process are determined by heat input into a welded material, its fragmentation and plastic flow around the welding tool, which depend on the ratio of tool rotation speed and tool travel speed. Mechanisms of joint formation are based on a combination of equally important processes of adhesive interaction in “tool-material” system and extrusion of metal into the region behind the welding tool. Combined with heat dissipation conditions and the configuration of the “tool-material” system, this leads to material extrusion from a welded joint and its decompaction. This results in formation of extended defects. Increasing in tool travel speed reduce the specific heat input, but in case of extended joints welding an amount of heat released in joint increases because of specific heat removal conditions. As a result, the conditions of adhesion interaction and extrusion processes change, which leads either to the growth of existing defects or to the formation of new ones. Taking into account the complexity of mechanisms of structure formation in joint obtained by BFSW, an obtaining of defect-free joints implies a necessary usage of various nondestructive testing methods in combination with an adaptive control of technological parameters directly in course of a welding process.

In this paper, we present an innovative welding process for packaging applications developed by SEALESTER Company. For polymer films, studies have revealed that the welding interface must reach a specific temperature, known as “sealing initiation temperature”, to obtain a sealed joint. In this paper, we will be studying the effect of the process parameters on the evolution of temperature at the welding interface. For this purpose, thermocouples have been placed between the films at different points of the trajectory to measure the temperature evolution. Process parameters and temperature measurements were recorded in each experiment. Results show that the most influential parameters are the temperature and the linear velocity of the tool. Rotational frequency affects the heat distribution on the sealing surface. A minimum pressure must be applied. In conclusion, this new process can produce sealed polymer packages. Future work will consist of studying the quality of obtained seal in addition to optimization and control of the process.

Abstract Dissimilar materials joining between AZ31 magnesium alloy and SPHC mild steel with Al-Mg powder additives were successfully produced by friction stir welding process. Al-Mg powder additives were set in a gap between AZ31 and SPHC specimen's butt prior to welding. The experiments were performed for different weight percentages of Al-Mg powder additives at welding speeds of 25 mm/min, 50 mm/min and 100 mm/min with a constant tool rotational speed of 500 rpm. The effect of powder additives and welding speed on tensile strength, microhardness, characterization across welding interface and fracture morphology were investigated. Tensile test results showed significant enhancement of tensile strength of 150 MPa for 10% Al and Mg (balance) powder additives welded joint as compared to the tensile strength of 125 MPa obtained for welded joint without powder additives. The loss of aluminium in the alloy is compensated by Al-Mg powder addition during welding under a suitable heat input condition identified by varying welding speeds. Microstructural analysis revealed that the Al-Mg powder was well mixed and dispersed at the interface of the joint at a welding speed of 50 mm/min. Intermetallic compound detected in the welding interface contributed to the welding strength.
