Análisis de la soldadura aplicada en el ZSB Trager VW SUV Tiguan (soporte zsb)
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
