This article presents the results of steel-sheet lap-joint-welding using laser beam radiation. The use of a laser beam and keyhole effect for deep material penetration in lap joint welding was presented. Thermodynamic mechanism of laser welding is related to material properties and process parameters. Estimation of welding parameters and joint properties’ analysis was performed through numerical simulation. The article presents a possibility of modeling laser lap-joint welding by using Simufact Welding software based on Marc solver and thermo-mechanical solution. Numerical calculation was performed for surface and conical volumetric heat sources simulating laser absorption and keyhole effect during steel sheet welding. Thermo-mechanical results of fusion zone (FZ), heat-affected zone (HAZ) and phase transformations calculated in numerical simulation were analyzed. The welding parameters for partial sealed joint penetration dedicated for gas piping installations were estimated from the numerical analysis. Low-carbon constructional steel was used for numerical and experimental analyses. A trial joint based on the estimated parameters was prepared by using a CO2 laser. Numerical and experimental results in the form of hardness distributions and weld geometry were compared. Metallographic analysis of the obtained weld was presented, including crystallographic structures and inclusions in the cross section of the joint.

Interfacial Characteristics

This paper focuses on the interfacial characteristics of dissimilar Ti6Al4V/AA6060 lap joint produced by pulsed Nd:YAG laser beam welding. The process-sensitivity analysis of welding-induced interface joining quality was performed by using the orthogonal design method. Microstructural tests such as scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to observe the interfacial characteristics. The mechanism of interfacial crack initiation, which is an important indicator of joint property and performance, was assessed and analyzed. The preferred propagation paths of welding cracks along the interfaces of different intermetallic layers with high dislocation density were analyzed and discussed in-depth. The results indicate that discontinuous potential phases in the micro-crack tip would mitigate the mechanical resistance or performance of the welded joint, while the continuous intermetallic layer can lead to a sound jointing performance under pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding process.

Wings for the defense industry such as fighters, missiles, and rockets should show no deformation or damage on the structure. The structures of existing wings had holes for weight reduction. The plates and frames were fixed with rivets or screws, which limited the weight reduction possible. In this study, an improvement was made in jointing methods through EB welding and laser welding. Welding strength was measured through tension testing. In addition, finite element analysis was performed for the welding process so as to deduce the optimum welding condition.

Joint Geometry

Laser transmission welding (LTW) is a relatively new technology for joining plastic parts. This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) transient thermal model of LTW solved with the finite element method. A lap-joint geometry was modeled for unreinforced polyamide (PA) 6 specimens. This thermal model addressed the heating and cooling stages in a laser welding process with a stationary laser beam. This paper compares the temperature distribution of a lap-joint geometry exposed to a stationary diode laser beam, obtained from 3D thermal modeling with thermal imaging observations. It is shown that the thermal model is capable of accurately predicting the temperature distribution when laser beam scattering during transmission through the polymer is included in the model. The weld dimensions obtained from the model have been compared with the experimental data and are in good agreement.

Advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) such as complexphase (CP) and high-formability (HF) steel offer weightsaving advantages for automotive applications such as chassis and frame applications. To prevent material oxidation, materials are often galvanized to protect the substrate from corrosion. However, the weldability of coated AHSS becomes challenging due to the trapping of zinc in the weld molten pool, which could lead to weld defects such as porosity and liquid metal embrittlement cracks. This work focused on the weldability of AHSS (CP800 and 980HF) using the gas metal arc welding process. The roles of both galvanized iron coating and filler material on weld strength were investigated. The welds were performed using two different filler materials: a low-strength filler (ER70S-6) and a high-strength filler (ER100S-6) material. In addition, two different joint configurations were studied: lap joints and butt joints. The results showed that the butt joint had a higher strength compared to the lap joints. Furthermore, the strength of the butt joint overmatched the base material strength in all of the tested materials (both in galvanized and uncoated). In general, lap joint strength undermatched the base material strength, which was attributed to the rotation during tensile testing that induced unaccounted bending stress on the lap joint, while using a higherstrength welding wire improved the tensile strength material in the lap joint configuration. The hardness profiles in the 980HF steel also showed a significant hardness mismatch due to the formation of a fully martensitic microstructure in the heat-affected zone, which led to suppressing the deformation across the lap joint.

Metal Arc Welding

Welding process is an efficient joining process of metals that is achieved by gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process. Localized heating during welding process can result in distortion of the welded plate. The estimation of magnitude and distribution of distortion are important to maintain the quality of products. Finite element method is implemented to investigate the distortions behavior of thin steel plate, cold rolled (SPCC) material in lap joint using GMAW process. A three-dimensional, two-step thermomechanical finite element model study was applied to analyze and evaluate distortion behavior in lap joint. The result of distortion from finite element analysis (FEA) was compared to experimental data to validate the accuracy of the method.
