In engineering applications, however, structures usually undergo fluctuating cyclic load conditions resulting in variable amplitude load (VAL) conditions. The objective of this work is to validate the use of local notch stress approaches to assess the fatigue strength of as-welded (AW) and HFMI-treated joints made of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels under VAL conditions. The 4R method is applied as an effective stress-based concept considering mean stress correction via four parameters, i.e., material strength <i>R</i><sub>m</sub>, applied stress ratio <i>R</i>, residual stresses <i>σ</i><sub>res</sub>, and weld toe radius <i>r</i><sub>true</sub>. To validate the 4R method, the study extracts and re-analyzes fatigue test data of published literature on CAL and VAL studies. Finite element analyses are carried out to determine effective notch stresses (ENS) for the evaluation of the data using the ENS concept and 4R method. The results of the re-evaluation conducted using the ENS method showed that the existing design curves provide conservative assessments. However, applying equivalent stress concept for VAL data, the experimental data showed damage parameters of <i>D</i> &gt; 1.0 for joints in the AW conditions with respect to the CAL data. The fatigue data was analyzed with the 4R Master Curve, which obtained conservative assessments for both joints in the AW and HFMI-treated conditions, as well as CAL and VAL data and, thus applicability of the 4R method for the fatigue assessments of welded joints was thus further validated by the experimental data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":809,"journal":{"name":"Welding in the World","volume":"69 3","pages":"687 - 700"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40194-024-01919-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143396461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the effect of a forging electrode force during welding current time <i>t</i><sub><i>i</i></sub> or after the welding current is shut off on weld spot characteristics is investigated, when resistance spot welding (RSW) mixed material joints between EN AC-43500-T6/T7 and EN AW-6082-T6.

On the other hand, the deterioration of fracture toughness for A3-LFW was found to be caused by hardening due to bainitic transformation near the joint interface, whereas the narrowness of the hardened region provided a little bit higher toughness than the intrinsic toughness of the transformed phase due to plastic constraint loss.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":809,"journal":{"name":"Welding in the World","volume":"69 3","pages":"739 - 750"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40194-024-01890-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143396608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As fatigue is dominating the design of these structures, an assessment of the performance of tubular joints produced by four different robots was performed and compared with the performance of manually welded joints. In total, 18 large-scale tests were performed on joints with dimensions representative for offshore structures, which were produced in industrial environment. Almost all breakthrough cracks occurred through the chord, with cracks initiated at the weld toe, although in some cases cracks were also initiated and propagated between weld beads. Strain measurements have demonstrated that when multiple cracks are present in one specimen, they interact only in the last phase of the fatigue life, when they are so large that they affect the stiffness of the tubular components. The measured fatigue strengths of joints produced by robot were similar or higher than the T-curve of DNV-RP-C203.
