The macro-morphology, microstructure, Vickers microhardness, and tensile properties of as-welded joints were analyzed. The results indicated a significant correlation between the laser welding speed and the size of individual zones within the welded joint. As the laser welding speed increased, the size of each zone decreased noticeably. The microstructure of the fusion zone was composed of proeutectoid ferrite, ferrite side-plate, and acicular ferrite. An increase in welding speed and defocusing amount facilitated microstructural changes towards formation of ferrite side-plate and acicular ferrite. Maximum tensile strength and maximum elongation of as welded joints were measured to be 669 MPa and 21.8%, respectively. The joints with maximum tensile strength tended to fracture within the fusion zone. The increase in welding speed and defocusing amount caused a significant decrease in normalized enthalpy and volumetric energy density.Keywords: Q345 steellaser welding speeddefocusing amountmicrostructuremechanical properties AcknowledgementsThe authors acknowledge funding from the Natural Science Foundation of Jilin Province (No. 20220101250JC), China.Disclosure statementThe authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.","PeriodicalId":23605,"journal":{"name":"Welding International","volume":"14 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136347585","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}

The experiment was conducted on two aluminium plates of different thicknesses, 2.0 mm on the advancing side and 1.5 mm on the retreating side, at constant welding parameters such as welding speed, spindle rotation, tool tilt angle, and tool profile. The study compared the joints at different rolling angles, i.e., 00/00, 900/900, 00/900, and 900/00. Tensile tests were conducted on the joints, and the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) was found to be 6%–11% higher in the DBL joint configuration compared to the SC and SB joint configurations. The Vickers hardness values of the SC and DBL joints were also found to be higher than those of the SB joint configuration. The formation of the \"S\" line was observed to influence the tensile test, hardness, and grain size, which in turn are determined by the shape of the faying surface.Keywords: friction stir weldingjoint configurationdifferent thicknessDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

Rotation of the aluminum plate over the solder material drags the solder material, stirring it during the soldering process, and helps the wetting in plate-solder-foam interfaces. The mechanical properties of the joint were investigated. Excellent tensile strength was obtained compared to those samples that were welded with the soldering flux but with no rotation involved. Tensile strength was nearly 100% higher when stirring was used. The method is introduced as flux-less stir soldering (FSS).

Test methods are incremental step test and static tensile test after cyclic loading. The stress-strain curves for static and cyclic loading were compared to investigate the cause of the difference between each other. A simple method for estimating the cyclic stress-strain curves was proposed. The diameter and curvature of the smallest cross-section of the specimen were measured using telecentric measurement device, and the true stress - true strain curve was obtained using the Bridgman correction method. Using the measurement method, cyclic stress-strain diagrams were obtained in the region where the true strain exceeded 1% by performing cyclic tensile tests using the incremental step method and static tensile tests after cyclic loading. The influence of the test method and maximum displacement conditions on the cyclic stress-strain curve was small within the scope of this study. There was little difference in the elongation between the static tensile test and the static tensile test after cyclic loading. The difference in yield stress between static and cyclic loading was discussed in terms of macro-yield mechanisms at intergranular and transgranular. A simple method for estimating cyclic stress-strain curves from a static stress-strain curve was proposed. The specimens used in this study are general-purpose shipbuilding steels, and the results should be applicable to similar steels for welding and structures.Key Words: Cyclic stress strain curveIncremental step methodStatic tensile test after cyclic loadingYield stressCommon steel for welded structuresShip Building steelTelecentric measurementDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

The subgrain size distributions between the simulated and the actual HAZs are comparable. The actual HAZ microstructures exhibited greater low angle grain boundaries and local strain distributions compared to the simulated HAZ microstructures due to the complex microstructural geometry of the actual weldment.

Aiming at the temperature field analysis of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy plate in the PMHW process, an improved hybrid heat source model capable of accurately characterising the heat input of a hybrid arc on workpieces and the arc deflection phenomenon, is proposed. Experiments were conducted on 4-mm Ti-6Al-4V plates in PMHW surfacing, and a corresponding simulation analysis was performed. To calculate the weld geometry, a weld pool shape was used in accordance with the experimental results. The results showed that, as plasma current increased from 60 A to 80 A, the weld reinforcement and offset Δd decreased, and the size of the weld pool increased. Plasma arc power had a greater effect on the length than on the width of the molten pool. Hybrid arcs had a stronger penetrating ability; hence, achieving deep penetration welding and high welding efficiency in the PMHW of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy was easier. Microstructure analysis showed that the Ti-6Al-4V alloy base metal zone was organised by α- and β-phase transformations; β grains in the weld zone were internally formed by a mixture of Weischer tissue and net basket tissue; and the size of β grains in the heat-affected zone decreased with the increase in the distance from the weld.Keywords: plasma–MIG hybrid weldingmodeling and simulationtemperature fieldtitanium alloyDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

On the other hand, laser cutting with oxygen assist gas of thick steel plates is a complex process in which various factors affect laser cutting quality compared to the thin plates. When laser cutting of the plate with mill scale is performed, the mill scale on the surface of plate generally plays a role in supporting stable laser cutting, although self-burning may also occur due to peeling of the mill scale. Therefore, this paper focuses on the mill scale and investigates the effects of the adhesion, thickness, and surface roughness of the mill scale on the laser cutting quality. As a result, it was found that the laser cutting quality is higher when the adhesion of the mill scale is high, the thickness of the mill scale is between 20 μm and 40 μm, and the surface roughness is small.","PeriodicalId":23605,"journal":{"name":"Welding International","volume":"45 1","pages":"79 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135929558","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}

The formation of martensite was observed at the diffused zone/heat-affected zone along both interfacing surfaces of the SS-430 base metals to be butt welded. The phase analysis of the developed reaction layer in the FZ showed the presence of small amounts of carbide particles (mainly chromium carbides) along with the presence of the main Ni-Fe-Cr enriched solid solution matrix. The hardness of the diffused zone/heat-affected zone is significantly high (760 ± 15HV) due to the presence of martensite followed by FZ hardness (410 ± 8HV) and then followed by base metal hardness (190 ± 4HV).
