In order to join the automotive radiator pipe with high-quality and high-efficiency, flame and induction brazing experiments of steel radiator were carried out using Cu-Zn alloy. Results show that Cu-Zn brazing filler metal can wet the steel well under different heating conditions. The average tensile-shear strength of the brazed joints was more than 400MPa. Brazing experiments of automotive radiator pipe were carried out for comparing the heating methods. Results show that the joints acquired by the induction brazing method were much better in the appearance, further; the amounts of brazing alloy were relatively less. Brazed radiator pipes were then electroplated, and sealability tests of the brazed pipe were investigated, which indicated the pipes and joints remained in good condition after the tests.

The larger variation of the construction and performance of the low-carbon steel joints was caused by the high temperature of the puddle welding of the joint. Therefore, the braze welding rather than the puddle welding was applied to the welding production of low-carbon steel. The 08 steel parts were joined in a furnace using pure copper solder paste as brazing filler metal. According to the obtained results, the ideal technical parameters are as follow: brazing temperature: 1100-1150°C; holding time: 5-10min; joint clearance: 0.03-0.05mm.

The effect of trace amounts of GaF3 and Ga2O3 nanoparticles on the wettability and spreadability of CsF-AlF3 flux matched Zn-15Al filler metal were comparatively studied on 6061 aluminum alloy and Q235 low-carbon steel. The experimental results indicate that appropriate amounts of GaF3 and Ga2O3 added into the flux could significantly promote the Zn-15Al filler metal to wet and spread on the surface of 6061 aluminum alloy and Q235 low-carbon steel. The optimum ranges for GaF3 and Ga2O3 were 0.0075–0.01wt.% and 0.009–0.01 wt.%, respectively. Comparative analysis showed that the activity of CsF-AlF3 flux bearing GaF3 was higher than that bearing Ga2O3. The reason for this is that the former flux has a stronger ability to remove oxides of the base metal and reduce the interfacial tension of the molten filler metal and the base metal.

In this paper, dissimilar joining of 316L stainless steel to low carbon steel was carried out using gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Samples were welded using AWS: ER309L welding electrode for GMAW and AWS: ER316L welding electrode for GTAW process. Determination of mechanical properties and material characterization on the welded joints were carried out using the Instron tensile test machine and an optical microscope respectively. The cross section area of the welded joint consists of three main areas namely the base metal (BM), heat affected zone (HAZ), and weld metal (WM). It was found that, the yield and tensile strengths of welded samples using ER316L filler metal were slightly higher than the welded sample using ER309L welding electrode. All welded samples fractured at low carbon steel base metal indicating that the regions of ER316L stainless steel base metal, ER316L filler metal and heat affected zone (HAZ) have a higher strength than low carbon steel base metal. It was also found that ER316L welding electrode was the best filler to be used for welding two dissimilar metals between carbon and stainless steel.

The present study features analytical and experimental results of optimizing resistance spot welding performed using a pneumatic force system (PFS). The optimization was performed to join SECC-AF (JIS G 3313) galvanized steel material with SPCC-SD low carbon steel. The SECC-AF is an SPCC-SD (JIS G 3141) sheet plate coated with zinc (Zn) with a thickness of about 2.5 microns. The zinc coating on the metal surface causes its weldability to decrease. This study aims to obtain the highest tensile-shear strength test results from the combination of the specified resistance spot welding parameters. The research method used the Taguchi method using four variables and a combination of experimental levels. The experimental levels are 2-levels for the first parameter and 3-levels for other parameters. The Taguchi optimization experimental results achieved the highest tensile-shear strength at 5049.64 N. It properly worked at 22 squeeze time cycles, 25 kA of welding current, and 0.6-second welding time and 12 holding-time cycles. The S/N ratio analysis found that the welding current had the most significant effect, followed by welding time, squeeze time, and holding time. The delta S/N ratio values were 1.05, 0.67, 0.57 and 0.29, respectively.

In this research, the objective was to investigate and measure the microstructure, tensile shear force, and fracture surface behavior when copper sheets are brazed using Cu-Ni-Sn-P amorphous filler metal. In order to examine the microstructure and its properties, assessment of the Cu-Ni-Sn-P/copper brazed joints was conducted after furnace brazing under an argon atmosphere using specific parameters relating to temperature, holding time, and loading pressure. In order to assess the tensile shear force, tensile testing was carried out. All the joints exhibited sound bonding without voids or cracks, when brazing temperatures reached 680 °C, this resulted in a maximum value for tensile shear force of 696.325 N. The microstructure consisted of both Cu-rich solid solution and a (Cu, Ni)3P phase as a eutectic structure formed in the brazing joint, and then the Cu-rich solid solution was produced as a matrix region around the eutectic structure. Fracture analysis was conducted for brazed joints which showed the ductile fractures after the shear test.

Brazing of commercially pure titanium to low carbon steel by using the Ag72Cu28 interlayer at different conditions was carried out in the present work in order to investigate the tensile-shear strength, microstructure and the fracture morphology of brazed joint. The results show that different intermetallic compounds such as CuTi,CuTi2,Cu4Ti3 and FeTi were formed at the bonding area. It was observed that the microstructure of joint has a considerable effect on tensile-shear strength of the brazed samples and the maximum tensile-shear strength was achieved at “750°C-10min→850°C-5min”.All the fracture paths after tensile-shear tests occurred in the interface between titanium and silver-based interlayer in spite of the different fracture morphology.

Titanium is one of structural materials. It has several advantages such as high corrosion resistance and high strength-to-weight ratio. The demand of titanium structural panel and the dissimilar joint has been increased in industry. It is well known that joining of steel and titanium is difficult because of generating the brittle intermetallic compound. In the present work, the laser roll welding of dissimilar metals, titanium to low carbon steel been investigated using a 2.4kW CO2 laser and a 2kW fiber laser. The effects of process parameters on the formation of intermetallic compound at the interlayer and on the mechanical properties were investigated to get a sound dissimilar metal joint. As a result, welded joints of titanium to low carbon steel were broken in the base metal of low carbon steel in the tensile-shear test.
