Stresses parallel to the weld are not considered in most experiments or the well-known Gough-Pollard criterion. Hence, the Gough-Pollard criterion has recently been extended to include all stress components at the weld surface. In this paper, both the original and, for the first time, the extended Gough-Pollard criterion are applied to different welded specimens under multiaxial loading that includes stresses parallel to the weld. As shown, the original criterion is insufficient to evaluate such stress states. This is because the calculated fatigue life becomes less conservative as the stresses parallel to the weld become more significant. The extended criterion, on the other hand, shows greatly improved accuracy while significantly reducing the likelihood of non-conservative results. In conclusion, the extended Gough-Pollard criterion can describe fatigue life under multiaxial loading better than the original version and provides reliable and conservative results for welded joints.

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of integrating a pure copper (Cu) interlayer on the mechanical behavior and the microstructure of the dissimilar TA6V/AU4G Rotary Friction Weld (RFW) joints. Tensile tests and microhardness measurements were conducted to demonstrate the mechanical behavior of the RFW joints. Microscopic observations were carried out to identify the structural nuances and quality of the weld joint. Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis was performed to reveal the interdiffusion phenomenon at the weld interfaces, and the present phases were identified through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results suggest that adding a Cu-interlayer changes the flow direction of thermoplastically deformed material, leading to an increase in the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) value up to 393.34 MPa. The microhardness profile of the TA6V/Cu/AU4G RFW joint is similar to that of the TA6V/AU4G joint, except for noticeable difference at the interface. In addition, the use of a Cu-interlayer has been shown to be more effective in preventing the formation of brittle TiAl₃ intermetallic compounds (IMCs) compared to direct TA6V/AU4G welds. The inclusion of a Cu-interlayer results in a significant improvement in joint efficiency by 105.32%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the Cu-interlayer in enhancing the mechanical properties of the dissimilar TA6V/AU4G RFW joints.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":809,"journal":{"name":"Welding in the World","volume":"68 7","pages":"1869 - 1879"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140581426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This specific field is characterized by a conflict of objectives, i.e., weight reductions while maintaining joint strength and electrical conductivity. From a material point of view, the use of aluminum as a conductor material is suitable for this application, as it is lighter than copper, a classical conductor material. Electrical conductors are often used in the form of flexible cables, so-called stranded wires. This type of conductor as well as the fact that the sole use of aluminum in electrical systems is not feasible, e.g., because the predetermined connection terminals of power electronic components are made of copper, creates a substantial demand for dissimilar aluminum-copper cable arrester joints. However, traditional fusion-based welding processes have proved incapable of reliably producing these dissimilar aluminum-copper joints because of thermophysical effects and chemical incompatibilities, the latter eventually leading to the formation of intermetallic phases. These phases adversely affect the quality of the joint in terms of both mechanical and electrical performance. Yet, magnetic pulse welding, a pressure welding process, is ideally suited for producing dissimilar metal joints on the basis of a low energy input during the welding process. Consequently, the formation of intermetallic phases is restrained. However, magnetic pulse welding has not been sufficiently investigated for the reliable contacting of stranded cables to tubular arresters. As a result, this paper focuses on the fabrication of tubular stranded cable arrester joints using magnetic pulse welding. To shed light on possible material combinations, aluminum-to-aluminum and copper-to-copper joints as well as their dissimilar counterparts are welded. Subsequently, the joints are characterized with regard to their microstructure and quasi-static material strength. Electrical characterization comprises the four-wire Kelvin measurement method to evaluate the resistance of the electrical joints. The results demonstrate that magnetic pulse welding is ideally suited to join the aforementioned material combination and joint configuration due to its process characteristics eventually leading to material continuity. As a result, the stranded wires are welded to the tubular arresters rather than crimped. Consequently, a comparative analysis of the joint properties with those of the joining partners shows that the measured electrical resistances and mechanical tensile forces may be considered very good.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":809,"journal":{"name":"Welding in the World","volume":"68 7","pages":"1837 - 1852"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40194-024-01760-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140581425","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}
