Although it tries to capture the influence of the given process by using the safety constants of the notch effect both of the weld and the thermal influence, it is only a theoretical estimation. Due to that, it very often results in large oversizing and, in worse cases, in under-sizing of the engineering design. As a result, there is either an overly robust and heavy construction, which is unacceptable (especially when applied in the automotive industry) or on the contrary, there is failure of parts due to cracks earlier than their planned service life is reached. The paper shows the effect of MAG welding method on the fatigue life of fillet and butt welds made of the fine-grained structural steel S460MC. The comparison of such influence is performed via using experimentally determined Wöhler curves of the parent material and both types of welded joints.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87604210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their significant expansion is result of unique properties combination. The requirements of current automotive industry bring demands for high mechanical properties of silumins (mostly by high temperature processes, which decrease properties of aluminum alloys). One area of application where silumins replace the Fe based alloys are forms for tires pressing. Working temperature during this casting process is 160-180 °C, but nowadays trends for rubber vulcanization in tires production increase working temperature over 200 °C. Ordinary aluminum alloys lose their mechanical properties at this temperature. The article describes results of research of newly developed alloy applied for tire pressing forms. This research was subsequently widened by heat treatment being applied to this alloy. Both of these material characteristics (chemical composition and heat treatment) preserve its mechanical properties even when being exposed to high temperature processes.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88738698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AA5052 and AA6101-T6 aluminium alloys are widely applied in transport industries, due to their lightweight and high strength and hence, joining of these two are unavoidable. Friction stir welding is an unconventional welding method, which is developed for constructing lightweight structures. This work describes the detailed study of friction stir welded dissimilar AA5052 and AA6101-T6 alloys. AA5052 and AA6101-T6 plates are welded with rotation rates of 765–1400 rpm and offset distances at advancing side of 0–2 mm. For this purpose, four levels of welding parameters based on Taguchi L16 orthogonal array are chosen. To determine the optimum combinational levels and identify the effect of above-mentioned parameters on tensile and wear properties, Signal to Noise ratio and ANOVA respectively are used. From the results, it is observed that the combination of 1 mm offset distance at advancing side and 1400 rpm rotating speed produces better tensile and wear properties, which is due to high heat generation, sufficient flow of materials and balanced precipitation and strain hardening effects. On the other hand, the combination of 2 mm tool offset at advancing side and 765 rpm rotational rate exhibits poor properties, which is associated with low heat input, defects formation, precipitate coarsening and lesser strain hardening effects.","PeriodicalId":21337,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Metallurgie-cahiers D Informations Techniques","volume":"130 1","pages":"405"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73131068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of these four joints, the joint fabricated by circular pin profiled tool exhibits poor tensile and wear properties whereas hexagonal pin profiled tool exhibits better tensile and wear properties.
