Joining Process

The joining process of SiCp/A356 composites is investigated. The two substrates are heated up to the melt temperature of Zn27Al filler metal by a resistance heating plate. At the time, a stirrer is introduced into the liquid weld seam in order to mix filler metal and two sides of substrates into a single uniform joint. After stirring, specimens are sectioned for the analysis of macro- and micro-structures along the weld region. The research shows that two typical joint interfaces with oxide film and without one were found. So, oxide film on the substrate wasn’t completely disrupted during stirring brazing at 500°C.And, the tensile strength of joint is only 50MPa.

The semi-solid brazing process of SiCp/A356 composites and aluminum alloy was investigated. The two substrates were heated up to the semisolid temperature range of Zn-Al filler metal in the joint region by a resistance heating plate. At this point a stirrer was introduced into the weld seam in order to mix filler metal and the two sides of substrates into a single uniform joint. After stirring, specimens were sectioned for analysis of macro- and micro-structures along the weld region. The research shows that SiCp/A356 composites and aluminum can be successfully joining with semi-solid filler metal. It can be found that most of the oxide film on the surface of the base metal was disrupted and removed through the observation by SEM. The metallurgical bonds formed between the filler metal and the base materials. Moreover, the oxide film of surface of aluminum alloy was more thoroughly disrupted and removed than that of surface of composites with existing of Sic particle. The joint microstructure with globular α-Al grain enclosed by rich-Zn phase can be obtained after stirring brazing.

This paper explores the brazing process of SiCp/A356 composites and aluminum alloy using semisolid metal. The two substrates were heated up to the semisolid temperature range of Zn-Al filler metal in the joint region by a resistance heating plate. In order to mix the filler metal with the base metal of both sides to be a single uniform joint, a stirrer was introduced into the weld seam. After stirring, specimens were sectioned for analysis of macro- and micro-structures along the weld region. The research shows that SiCp/A356 composites and aluminum can be local joined with semi-solid filler metal. It can be found that part of the oxide film on the interface of the base metal was disrupted and removed through the observation by SEM. The metallurgical bonds can be formed between the filler metal and the base materials. Moreover, the oxide film of surface of aluminum alloy disrupted and removed was easier than that of surface of composites with existing of Sic particle. The joint microstructure with globular α-Al grain enclosed by rich-Zn phase can be obtained after stirring brazing.

Semisolid Metal

The semi-solid brazing process of SiCp/A356 composites and 2024 aluminum alloy using Zn-Al eutectic filler metal at 450 °C has been investigated. The two substrates and Zn-Al filler metal were heated up to the semisolid temperature range of Zn-Al filler metal by a resistance heating plate. In order to mix the filler metal with the base metal of both sides to be a single uniform joint, a stirrer was introduced into the weld seam. After stirring, specimens were sectioned for analysis of macro- and micro-structures along the weld region. The research shows that SiCp/A356 composites and aluminum can be joining by semisolid metal. It can be found that almost half of the oxide film on the surface of the base metal was disrupted and removed through the observation by SEM. The metallurgical bonds formed between the filler metal and the base materials on the interface of oxide had been disrupted. Moreover, the oxide film of surface of aluminum alloy was more thoroughly disrupted and removed than that of surface of composites with existing of SiC particle.

This study observed the effect of filler metal type on mechanical properties of NAB (NiAl-bronze) material fabricated using wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology. The selection of filler metal type is must consider the field condition, mechanical properties required by customers, and economics. This study analyzed the bead shape for representative two kind of filler metal types use to maintenance and fabricated a two-dimensional bulk NAB material. The cold metal transfer (CMT) mode of gas metal arc welding (GMAW) was used. For a comparison of mechanical properties, the study obtained three specimens per welding direction from the fabricated bulk NAB material. In the tensile test, the NAB material deposited using filler metal wire A showed higher tensile strength and lower elongation (approx. +71 MPa yield strength, +107.1 MPa ultimate tensile strength, −12.4% elongation) than that deposited with filler metal wire B. The reason is that, a mixture of tangled fine α platelets and dense lamellar eutectoid α + κIII structure with β´ phases was observed in the wall made with filler metal wire A. On the other hand, the wall made with filler metal wire B was dominated by coarse α phases and lamellar eutectoid α + κIII structure in between.

GH3535 supperalloy, whose grade of ASME is UNS N10003, is currently considered as a candidate material for solid-fuel and fluid-fuel molten salt reactor in china. During the development of procedures for welding GH3535 superalloy, consideration should always be given to the possibility that repair welding may be necessary. This paper presents weld repairs of GH3535 alloy rolled plates using gas tungsten arc welding with filler metal. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the low heat input process for weld repair of GH3535 alloy plates about the microstructure features and mechanical properties. The results demonstrated that sound joints without defects could be obtained after weld repairs. Due to repair thermal cycles on the original weld seam, the size of carbide precipitate became large, but repair welding is found to cause no decrease in short-term time-independent strength.

Diffusion brazing is a joining process utilized in the manufacture and repair of turbine blades and vanes. MAR-M247 is an investment cast Ni-based superalloy used for turbine blading and has good strength properties at high temperatures. The objectives of this work was to develop a diffusion brazing procedure to achieve high strength joints. A commercially available diffusion brazing filler metal of composition Ni-15Cr-3,5B of 100 μm thickness was used. With the desire to eliminate brittle centre-line phases, the effects of the processing variables (only temperature and time) on the joint microstructure was studied. Once the metallurgy of the joint was understood, mechanical property assessments were undertaken i.e. tensile and creep rupture tests, and the latter being the severest test to evaluate joint strength. The results demonstrated that the diffusion brazed joints had nearly equivalent mechanical strength to that of the parent metal. This showed that the resultant diffusion brazing parameters enabled effective and reliable joining of MAR-M247.

Battery Cells

The transition towards renewable energy implicates more decentralized and time-dependent ways of energy generation. In order to deal with the resulting fluctuation in energy supply, local storage systems are necessary. Larger systems may consist of thousands of battery cells. Therefore, the reliable interconnection between the individual battery cells is the basic prerequisite for the production of these systems. It has been demonstrated that laser beam welding is a suitable process for the contacting of batteries. However, due to the high requirements regarding the heat input and the reproducibility of the joining process, further investigations are necessary. Within this work, experiments on pulsed laser beam welding of nickel-plated DC04 steel were conducted. Four different pulsed welding strategies were analyzed in a preliminary study in order to develop a method for obtaining suitable process parameters while reducing the amount of free parameters. Subsequently, a comparative study between the rectangular pulse, the shaped pulse, the spike pulse and the sloping pulse was carried out. The weld seam properties as well as the electrical and the mechanical properties of the connection joints were evaluated. The results presented in this paper indicate a high eligibility of pulsed laser beam welding as a joining process for the connection of battery cells. For all analyzed pulsed welding strategies a homogeneous weld seam without full penetration was observed. Similar electrical resistances for all strategies were measured despite the comparatively small total joint area for the discretely pulsed weld seams.

The article presents the results of studies on the influence of simulated thermal cycles parameters on the structure and properties of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of thermo-mechanically rolled S700MC steel. For this purpose, resistance heating tests of the tested samples were carried out to determine the effect of maximum temperatures of the imposed thermal cycles with different maximum temperatures at a constant cooling time in the temperature range between 800 and 500 °C (t8/5) and to study the influence of changes of this time on the structure and hardness as well as the tensile strength, elongation and toughness of the simulated HAZ in S700MC steel. The results of the tests, were supported by the results of finite element method (FEM) analyses in the VisualWeld (SYSWELD Code) software of the ESI Group. Selected heat distributions during heating, distributions of individual metallurgical phases and hardness were compared with results from real tests. On the basis of the results presented, an attempt was made to explain the decrease in mechanical and plastic properties in the HAZ area caused by the influence of the welding heat cycle.

Precise micro-grinding machining was proposed to fabricate regular and controllable micro-grooved array structures on the surface of mold cores to realize the mass production and manufacturing of micro-structured polymer components by micro injection molding in this paper. First, the 3D topographies and section profiles of micro-ground mold cores and micro-formed polymers with different micro-structure parameters were presented. Then, the surface roughness of mold cores and polymers were compared. Next, the relationships between machining accuracy of mold core ground by micro-grinding and filling rates of micro-structured polymer formed by micro injection molding were investigated. Finally, the influences of micro injection molding parameters on the filling rate of micro-structures polymer were investigated. It is shown that the micro-structured polymer can be effectively and rapidly fabricated using the proposed method. The experimental results indicate the highest form accuracy of the micro-grooved mold core and the filling rate of micro-structured polymer can reach to 4.05 µm and 99.30%, respectively. It is found that the filling rate of the micro-structured polymer roughly increased with increasing machining accuracy of the mold core. The injection pressure had the greatest influence on the filling rate of the injection formed polymer, while the melt temperature had the least influence.
