جوشکاری اصطکاکی-تلاطمی غیرهمجنس Al 6013-T4 به فولاد زنگنزن X5CrNi
ABSTRACT
The joining of dissimilar Al 6013-T4 alloy and X5CrNi18-10 stainless steel was carried out using friction stir welding (FSR) technique. The microstructure, hardness and fatigue properties of fiction stir welded 6013 aluminium alloy to stainless steel have been investigated. Optical microscopy was used to characterise the microstructures of the weld nugget, the heat affected zone (HAZ), thermo-mechanical affected zone (TMAZ) and the base materials. The results show that FSR can be used the joining of dissimilar Al 6013 alloy and X5CrNi18-10 stainless steel. Seven different zones of the microstructure in the welding are reported as follows: (1) parent stainless steel, (2) HAZ in the stainless steel at advancing side of weld, (3) TMAZ in the stainless steel at advancing side of weld, (4) weld nugget, (5) TMAZ in the Al alloy at retreating side of weld, (6) HAZ in the Al alloy at retreating side of weld and (7) parent Al alloy. A good correlation between the hardness distribution and the welding zones are observed. Fatigue properties of Al 6013-T4/X5CrNi18-10 stainless steel joints were found to be approximately 30% lower than that of the Al 6013-T6 alloy base metal.
Forming Process Integrated Induction Brazing
فرآیند شکل دهی ادغام شده با لحیم کاری القایی
ABSTRACT
Processing steps additional to forming operations, such as joining, usually require a vast effort for transport and storage. Due to integration of currently external production steps, processes could be synchronized. Brazing represents an additional operation, which is likely to gain of importance in the light of an increasing relevance of light weight construction. Servo presses enable an adjustment of the ram motion to process requirements. Hence, the ram motion can be adjusted to create a time slot for the execution of additional processes inside the press. In this paper, the possibility to integrate brazing into forming process chains is investigated. For a demonstration part, a tool that allows brazing inside a servo press is developed. Achievable part qualities and cycle times are evaluated.

Laser droplet brazing for electrical contacting of composite
materials with integrated active elements
لحیم کاری قطره ای لیزری برای اتصال الکتریکی مواد کامپوزیتی ادغام شده با عناصر فعال
ABSTRACT
To be used as actuators or sensors, piezoceramic components have to be electronically contacted. A temperature stable connection can be achieved with brazing techniques. Since piezoceramics are susceptible to damage by high temperatures and temperature gradients, it is important to control the energy input in the brazing process. Therefore, we use a laser droplet brazing method which allows for precise contacting of piezoceramics and avoids thermal damage. The influence of the laser parameters on the brazing process and the contacting accuracy is presented in this paper.

Corrosion fatigue behaviour of aluminium alloy 6061-T651 welded
using fully automatic GMAW and ER5183 filler alloy
رفتار خستگی خوردگی آلیاژ آلومینیوم 6061-T651 جوش داده شده با (GMAW)
با آلیاژ ER5183 به عنوان فیلر
ABSTRACT
The fatigue life of aluminium 6061-T651 at various applied stress amplitudes in the unwelded and welded condition was found to be significantly reduced on immersion in a 3.5% NaCl simulated sea water solution, compared to that measured in ambient air. The ratio of fatigue life in NaCl test solution to that in air increased as the stress amplitude decreased. The observed reduction in the fatigue life in the NaCl test solution was most likely due to the presence of pits which nucleated on second phase particles or precipitates. Welded joints performed using pulsed gas metal arc welding and ER5183 filler wire failed at the interface between the weld metal and the heat-affected zone as a result of a high pitting rate in this region.

Features of AcousticEmission Signals during the Initiation
of a Fatigue Failure in a Welded Joint of an Aluminum Alloy
of the Al–Cu–Mn System
ویژگی های سیگنال انتشار آکوستیک در طول شروع یک شکست خستگی
در یک اتصال جوش داده شده آلیاژ آلومینیوم سیستم Al-Cu-Mn
ABSTRACT
The features of the generation of acoustic emissions (AEs) during the initiation of a fatigue failure in various zones of a welded joint of thermally hardened 2219T6grade aluminum alloy, which is produced using electronbeam welding, are considered. Metallographic studies showed that a welded joint of the alloy is structurally and mechanically inhomogeneous. This predominantly influ ences the initiation and development kinetics of fatigue cracks in the joint and the AE kinetics. It is shown that the area of a formed flaw is proportional to the sum of the amplitude of detected signals, and the transition from the initiation to the stable propagation of a failure is accompanied by an abrupt increase in AE activity.

اتصال آلومینیوم و منیزیم از طریق جوشکاریA-TIG
با پیش نورد کمکی همراه با لایه میانی روی
ABSTRACT
AZ31B Mg and 6061 Al alloys were successfully welded via a novel pre-roll-assisted A-TIG welding technique with Zn interlayer at an overlap configuration. The rolling operation increased the contact area and control tightly between Zn interlayer and plates at an interlayer-assisted overlap configuration to avoid the adverse effect of gaps. B2O3 activating flux was coated on the upper Al plates to provide contraction of the arc column to increase the arc energy density; welding penetration was increased without improving heat input, which reduced the formation and grain coarsening of Al–Mg IMCs. Therefore, the tensile–shear strength of the joints was improved obviously. The average of tensile–shear strength joined was 71.2 MPa with a maximum of 74 MPa compared to 41.1 MPa with a maximum of 45.2 MPa by conventional TIG with Zn interlayer.

Study of mechanism of activating flux increasing
weld penetration of AC A-TIG welding for aluminum alloy
مطالعه مکانیزم افزایش مکانیزم نفوذ فلاکس فعال ساز جوشکاری AC A-TIG
برای آلیاژ آلومینیوم
ABSTRACT
When multi-component flux AF305 is used as surface activating flux for an aluminum alloy, the weld penetration of activating flux-tungsten inert-gas (A-TIG) welding is over two times more than that of conventional TIG welding. Using A-TIG welding with the modes of alternating current (AC), direct current electrode negative (DCEN) and direct current electrode positive (DCEP), respectively, the flux differently affects weld penetration when the polarity is different. After studied the effect of compelled arc constriction on weld penetration of AC welding, it is believed that the constriction of the whole arc root is not the main mechanism that flux AF305 dramatically improves weld penetration. The penetration has a relationship with the separate distribution of slag on the weld surface. Then, an observation of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and an electronic data systems (EDS) analysis of slag were performed respectively. The separate distribution of slag on the weld pool during welding and the great constriction of arc spots were confirmed by TIG welding with helium shielding gas. The relationship between slag distribution and weld penetration was studied by adding aluminum powder into flux AF305 to change the distribution of slag. During welding, the separate distribution of slag on the weld pool results in the great constriction of arc spots, an increase in arc spot force, and an increase in Lorentz force within the arc and weld pool. Finally, the weld penetration is increased.

Poor fit-up condition in resistance spot welding
شرایط جفت شدگی ضعیف جوشکاری مقاومتی نقطه ای
ABSTRACT
An experimental setup for poor fit-up condition research, which makes it possible to analyze poor fit-up conditions of different intensities and also quantify them is presented. The intensity of poor fit-up condition can be estimated by measuring the welding force during the initial contact between the electrode tips and the weldpieces. In order to reduce the negative influence of the poor fit-up condition on weld strength an addition of preheating phase was studied. Although it helps to increase the weld strength, a significant gap remains between the weld strength of non-deformed welds and poor fit-up welds even at large preheating currents.

Characterization of weld strength and toughness in
the multi-pass welding of Inconel 625 and
Super-duplex stainless steel UNS S32750
مشخصهیابی استحکام جوش و چقرمگی در جوشکاری چند پاس
اینکونل 625 و فولاد ضد زنگ سوپر دوپلکس UNS S32750
ABSTRACT
The present study investigated the weldability of dissimilar metals involving Inconel 625 and Super-duplex stainless steel obtained from continuous current (CC) and pulsed current (PC) gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) processes employing ER2553 and ERNiCrMo-4 fillers. A comparative analysis on these dissimilar weldments was carried out to establish the structure-property relationships. Microstructure examination was carried out using optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Grain coarsening was observed at the HAZ of UNS S32750 for all the cases. Mechanical tests ascertained that the PCGTA weldments employing ERNiCrMo-4 offered better weld strength and impact toughness. Elaborative studies on the structure – property relationships of these dissimilar weldments were discussed.
