Wire Feeding

Ni-based filler metal and Ni-Cu-based filler metal were used to obtain copper/stainless steel (Cu/SS) joints through wire-feeding laser welding. Along the SS/weld interface, there exist different grain sizes (from coarse columnar grains to fine equiaxed grains). The heat affected zone (HAZ) on the copper side consisted of two areas with different grain sizes and the size of the grain in the Cu-HAZ of the Ni-Cu-based filled joint was much smaller than that of the Ni-based filled joint. Our results showed that grain refinement at the copper/weld (Cu/weld) interface of the Ni-Cu-based filled joint was observed through high-resolution electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). There was a hardness elevation at the Cu/weld interface of the Ni-Cu-based filled joint due to the grain refinement on the weld of the copper side. The maximum tensile strength of the Ni-Cu-based filled joint was obtained and reached 91.2% of the tensile strength of the copper base metal (Cu-BM). Joints in this study were observed to fracture in a ductile mode. Furthermore, the Ni-Cu-based filled joint exhibited a higher plastic deformation, which was primarily caused by the large deformation of the weld zone and the large deformation of the Cu-BM due to the high plasticity of the weld, which alleviated the stress concentration, as indicated by 2D-digital image correlation (DIC) test results.

Fusion Weld

In this paper, laser welding-brazing of 304 stainless steel (SS) and Al2O3 ceramic dissimilar metal material was carried out. The results showed that the SS and Al2O3 were joined by melting filler metal when the laser was focused on the SS side of the joint. One process was one pass welding involving creation of a joint with one fusion weld and one brazed weld separated by remaining unmelted SS. When laser beam was focused on the SS plate 1.5 mm, SS would not be completely melted in joint. Through heat conduction, the filler metal (68.8 wt.% Ag, 26.7 wt.% Cu, 4.5 wt.% Ti) melting occurred at the SS-Al2O3 ceramic interface. A brazed weld was formed at the SS-Al2O3 ceramic interface with the main microstructure of Cu[s.s.] + Ag[s.s.], Ti2Cu + TiFe and Ag + AlCu2Ti. The joint fractured in reaction layer at the ceramic side with the maximum tensile strength of 74 MPa.

Used YAG pulse laser to weld 304 stainless steel nuts, studied about the parameters such as peak power, pulse width, defocus distance impacting on the performance of the joints welded by laser. The studies showed that the tensile strength and torque of the nuts increased as the peak power and the pulse width increased.Burn through in welding easy occur when laser pulse energy is too big, pulse width is too wide or defocus distance is too low.

321 and 410 stainless steels were brazed using 400 W pulsed Nd:YAG laser source with AMS 4777 filler metal for various joint clearances. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the microstructure of all specimens. Mechanical properties (microhardness and tensile test) of all specimens were evaluated. The wetting, spreading, and flowing of AMS 4777 filler metal on substrates during this process were modeled using finite volume model. The equations of conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy were solved in FLUENT software for calculating volume fraction and liquid fraction. AMS 4777 filler metal shows excellent wettability on the 321 and 410 stainless steels. The filler metal and specimens mainly consist of nickel solid solution (Ni), chromium boride (CrB), and nickel boride (Ni3B). The average microhardness for specimens in seam is 492 HV. The tensile strength of specimens changes from 200 up to 480 MPa due to various joint clearances. The higher tensile strength of 321 stainless steel specimens in comparison with 410 stainless steel specimens is due to less wetting angle and more spreading width of filler metal. The simulated results show that this model can be used for predicting geometry of joints at various joint clearances.

Pulsed Nd:Yag Laser Welding

Product with low cost, lightweight and enhanced mechanical properties were the main reasons welding dissimilar materials thrived by most of the industries. The laser welding technique which has high-energy density beam was found suitable of carrying this task. This paper attempts to investigate welding of AISI 304 stainless steel to AISI 1008 steel through Nd:YAG pulse laser method. The main objective of this study was to find out the weldability of these materials and investigate the mechanical properties of the welded butt joints. Peak power, pulse duration and weld speed combinations were carefully selected with the aims of producing weld with a good tensile strength, minimum heat affected zone (HAZ) and acceptable welding profile. Response surface methodology (RSM) approach was adopted as statistical design technique for tensile strength optimization. Statistical based mathematical model was developed to describe effects of each process parameters on the weld tensile strength and for response prediction within the parameter ranges. The microstructure of the weld and heat affected zones were observed via optical microscope. The results indicate the developed model can predict the response within ±9% of error from the actual values.

AbstractIn this paper, laser welding-brazing of TC4 Titanium (Ti) alloy and Al2O3 ceramic dissimilar material was carried. The results showed that the Ti alloy and Al2O3 were joined by melting filler metal when the laser was concentrated in the Ti alloy side of the joint. The joint with one fusion weld and one brazed weld separated by remaining unmelted Ti alloy. Laser beam offset the Ti alloy 1.5 mm, Ti alloy would not be completely melted in joint. Through heat conduction, the filler metal melted occurred at the Ti-ceramic interface. A brazed weld was formed at the Ti-ceramic interface with the main microstructure of β-CuZn + Ti2Zn3, β-CuZn and Al2Cu + β-CuZn. The joint fractured at the brazed weld with the maximum tensile strength of 169 MPa.

The article presents applications of high-strength quenched steels in various industrial sectors and the chronological development of various grades of the aforesaid steels. The research-related tests involved flat butt joints made in 7 mm thick steel grade S1300QL, welded using the following methods: TIG, A-TIG, MAG involving the use of a hard flux-cored surfacing wire, MAG method involving the use of a solid wire, T.I.M.E. method involving the use of a solid wire, laser welding method without the use of the filler metal, hybrid (HLAW) method involving the use of a metallic flux-cored wire, electron beam welding without using the filler metal. The research also involved the performance of the mechanical properties of the welded joints made in quenched steel S1300QL using various welding methods. The joints made using the laser welding method, hybrid welding method and the electron beam welding method were characterised by tensile strength higher than the minimum yield point of steel S1300QL, amounting to 1300 MPa. In turn, the tensile strength of the joints made in steel S1300QL using arc welding methods was lower than the minimum yield point of the steel. All of the test joints were subjected to non-destructive digital radiographic tests. The tests concerning the mechanical properties of the joints with respect to various welding methods were subjected to comparative analysis. The research work finished with the formulation of concluding remarks concerning the mechanical properties of the joints.
