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.

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.

A nanostructure surface layer was produced on low carbon steel and commercially pure titanium using high-speed rotating wire-wheel deformation (HRWD). The microstructural features of the surface layer were systematically characterized by cross-sectional optical microcopy observations, transmission electron microscopy, and microhadness measurement was conducted along the depth from top surface layer to matrix of the samples. The results show that nearly equiaxed nanocrystalline layer is formed on the surface of the low carbon steel and pure titanium, in which the average grain size is about 8 nm and 15 nm respectively. The microhardness of the top surface is enhanced obviously compared with that of the coarse-grained matrix.

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.

Resistance spot welding is the dominant process for joining sheet metals in automotive industry. Even-thickness combinations are rarely used in practice; therefore, there is clearly a practical need for failure behaviour investigation of uneven-thickness resistance spot welds. The aim of this paper is to investigate and analyze the failure mode and failure mechanism of dissimilar thickness low carbon steel resistance spot welds during tensile-shear overload test. Microstructural investigations, microhardness tests and tensile-shear tests were conducted. Mechanical properties of the joint were described in terms of peak load, energy absorption and failure mode. It was concluded that weld nugget size and the strength of the thinner base metal are the controlling factors of the peak load and energy absorption of dissimilar thickness spot welds.

In this study the friction stir lap welding was carried out by a new technique (diffusion bonding phenomenon) between (AA1100 and low carbon steel C10 sheets of 3mm and 1mm thickness respectively. These alloys have difference ranges in melting temperature and other physical properties.  Different parameters were used: tool rotation speeds (630, 1250) rpm, travel speeds (80, 32) mm/min. and pin length (2.8,3) mm  using cylindrical threaded pin. Many tests and inspections were performed such as tensile shear test and X-Ray diffraction tests. Microhardness and microstructure observations were conducted by using optical and SEM. The above tests were used to evaluate the weld quality and joint efficiency under different welding parameters. Best result for  FSLW by  diffusion phenomenon  appear in (low carbon steelC10 / AA1100-H112) joint at 1250rpm  in 32 mm/min. with 2.8mm pin length and the maximum tensile shear strength was (3.9)KN.It was found that the highest micro hardness was (138HV) at the interface between the low carbon steel and AA1100.
