At the same welding parameters, the ST joints have less neck contraction at 25 °C and the ligamentous sockets are smaller and densely welded surfaces. The failures of ST joints and NT joints are investigated under the same welding parameters.

To withstand the high combined corrosive, tribological, thermal, and mechanical stresses, wear-resistant coatings tailored to the application and steel grade are used. In addition to the increasing demand to substitute conventional cobalt alloys with nickel alloys, there is also a growing need for defined or functional surfaces of high integrity. Due to high tool wear, milling operations required to produce the complex geometries of the components are often not economically feasible for SMEs. By means of alloy modification of the filler metals for nickel-based plasma build-up welded wear-resistant coatings and by the use of innovative ultrasonic-assisted milling processes more favourable machinability shall be achieved without reducing the wear protection potential. In this paper, the influence of the microstructure and precipitation morphology adjusted by means of alloy modification on the machinability is investigated. This is done based on a wear protection alloy NiCrMoSiFeB (trade name: Colmonoy 56 PTA) typically used for screw machines, which substitutes conventional CoCr alloys (Stellite). Metallurgical investigations and in-situ measurements of occurring process forces and temperatures at the tool cutting edge during milling as well as subsequent investigations of tool wear and surface integrity allow a detailed analysis and correlation between microstructural properties and machinability. For the cast samples, a clear change in the microstructure and hardness can be seen through the addition of Al, Ti, or Nb. These differences lead to an improvement in the machining process for Nb. Al and Ti cause long-needled or star-shaped precipitations and hardness increases, which lead to higher cutting forces and increased tool wear.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":809,"journal":{"name":"Welding in the World","volume":"68 10","pages":"2567 - 2575"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40194-024-01786-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141360163","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}

This study investigates the impact of stress relief grooves (SRG) on the fatigue performance of butt-welded cast steel to ultra-high-strength steel components using experimental fatigue tests and finite element method. The experiments examined the fatigue properties of hybrid joints between G26CrMo4 cast steel (<i>t</i> = 20 mm) and S960 steel plate (<i>t</i> = 6 mm) with and without SRG. Gas metal arc welding process was used to weld the butt joints that had a permanent root backing machined on the cast steel part, causing a crack-like defect to the weld root. Additionally, the top surfaces of the welded parts were aligned, resulting in a significant axial misalignment in the butt joint. The SRG, positioned close to the weld root, was found to have a beneficial influence on the joint’s fatigue performance by a factor of 1.2 when using the nominal stress criterion. However, the fatigue capacity was still roughly 35% lower compared to the symmetrical equivalent due to the secondary bending stress, caused by axial misalignment. The finite element analyses indicated that the SRG reduces the amount of secondary stresses at the weld root leading to lower total structural stress. The study recommends using the FAT80 (<i>m</i> = 3) design curve in the structural stress method, for similar butt-welds having a crack-like defect, parallel to the loading direction, at the weld root. However, for welded joints with crack-like defects, it is advisable to use linear elastic fracture mechanics rather than relying solely on stress-based local approaches.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":809,"journal":{"name":"Welding in the World","volume":"68 8","pages":"2203 - 2216"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40194-024-01797-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141369277","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}

Macro hardness (HV10) testing yielded 259 and 249 in low and high heat input (HI) samples, respectively, while ferrite content averaged 52.7 and 48.5%. However, these results fail to provide conclusive insight into the potential influence of microstructural variations at the macroscopic level, likely due to the composite response of the material. To overcome this limitation, the mechanical response of the DSS samples is assessed at the grain level via high throughput nanoindentation mapping with image processing to track the location of each indent. This approach enabled differentiating the indents landing on ferrite and austenite phases as well as those landing on the interfaces. The results showed that the austenite phase had higher hardness (4.30 and 4.35 GPa) than the ferrite phase (3.89 GPa and 4.03 GPa) for high and low HI samples, respectively. The observed differences in hardness between the phases can be attributed to higher nitrogen content in the austenitic phase.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":809,"journal":{"name":"Welding in the World","volume":"68 9","pages":"2247 - 2257"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40194-024-01795-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141369218","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}

This simulation uses two treated geometry models: with or without surface roughness on HFMI groove, and two material properties: S690QL and AH36 structural steels. The results show that surface roughness and load history, including high-peak loads, significantly influence fatigue response. It is revealed that the model neglecting the surface roughness cannot represent the amount of residual stress change and fatigue damage at less than 100 µm depth from the surface. In addition, the local yield strength in the HFMI-treated zone affects the plasticity behavior near the surface imperfection under the high-peak loads, which provides comparatively different fatigue damage between S690QL and AH36 in some cases.

In this study, how readily high fatigue strength of AA2024-to-Ti6Al4V FSL welds can be achieved is assessed. First, the effect of increasing the pin size on the fatigue strength of the welds has been evaluated. Second, fatigue testing has been conducted on the welds of which diffusion bonding is more ascertained by the use of an interlayer. It has been found that the fatigue strength of the welds is insensitive to the pin size. This will be shown to be the result of the width of the diffusional bond to be insensitive to the use of a larger pin or whether the pin has penetrated to the bottom plate. Simulation has suggested that stress concentration in locations of lapping ends is not significantly affected by the increase of the metallurgically welded width, explaining that pin size and penetration-dependent weld width do not affect the fatigue strength. It has also been shown that interlayer assisted diffusion bonding has affected insignificantly the fatigue strength of the welds.
