Dynamic stability is pursued by investigating molten metal flowing within keyholes and their characteristics. Weld pool flow patterns are obtained via particle tracking, while instability characteristics are captured employing a high-speed camera. Analysing directional molten metal flow unveils Convergence and Separation Points in weld pool flow. The latter’s displacement induces weld pool instability, resulting in an increase in keyhole area and a reduction in the pinch angle. The keyhole area signifies pool instability, while the rear wall angle reflects the welding state. These findings provide a theoretical basis for weld control and advance vision-based intelligent manufacturing welding techniques.","PeriodicalId":21729,"journal":{"name":"Science and Technology of Welding and Joining","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46479287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sigma phase kinetics model produced calculated and validated temperature-time-transformation (TTT) and continuous-cooling-transformation (CCT) curves from which a 4°C/s cooling rate was found as a cooling rate threshold for sigma phase formation in this new material.

The phase transition from HCP to FCC occurs in the region with high shear strain, which is associated with the movement of Frank or Shockley partial dislocations.

After 3.5 kN-RFP, the WAAM densification ratio was improved to >99.5%, and pores were completely closed and eliminated owing to compression deformation and sub-grains bonding. The processed deposits exhibited effective grain refinement and high-density dislocation entanglement, which led to 22.8% and 34.2% improvements in the horizontal and vertical tensile strengths, respectively.

It has been observed that the addition of aluminium foil serves to a tight joint, which displays two kinds of interfaces where no defects were observed. With the increase in input energy, the peak load exhibits an initial growth phase followed by a decrement phase, and the interfacial heat production intensifies gradually, leading to subsequent interfacial oxidation. When the input energy is 750 J, the joint peak load reaches its maximum at 890 N. The fracture pattern of the joint exhibited both interfacial fracture and edge fracture. In high welding energy situations, Fe4Al13 (a brittle phase) is produced, which deleteriously impact on the joint's performance. Conversely, low welding energy results in the absence of any brittle phase formation.","PeriodicalId":21729,"journal":{"name":"Science and Technology of Welding and Joining","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45878594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Boron segregation along PAGB increases GB plasticity but not inter-granular strength. This is because the boron segregation at PAGBs occupies the vacancies and other defect positions, which inhibits the nucleation and growth of micro-voids, and reduces plasticity consumption.

In the present work, we have generated a dataset through an experimentally validated thermal model, and further multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms are applied to train datasets. Models with an accuracy of more than 99% are utilised for the prediction of transient temperature distribution.
