Effect of welding speed on microstructures and mechanical properties
of underwater friction stir welded 2219 aluminum alloy
اثر سرعت جوشکاری بر ریز ساختارها و خواص مکانیکی آلیاژ آلومینیوم 2219
جوشکاری اصطکاکی اغتشاشی شده در زیر آب
ABSTRACT
Underwater friction stir welding (underwater FSW) has been demonstrated to be available for the strength improvement of normal FSW joints. In the present study, a 2219 aluminum alloy was underwater friction stir welded at a fixed rotation speed of 800 rpm and various welding speeds ranging from 50 to 200 mm/min in order to clarify the effect of welding speed on the performance of underwater friction stir welded joint. The results revealed that the precipitate deterioration in the thermal mechanically affected zone and the heat affected zone is weakened with the increase of welding speed, leading to a narrowing of softening region and an increase in lowest hardness value. Tensile strength firstly increases with the welding speed but dramatically decreases at the welding speed of 200 mm/min owing to the occurrence of groove defect. During tensile test, the joint welded at a lower welding speed is fractured in the heat affected zone on the retreating side. While at higher welding speed, the defect-free joint is fractured in the thermal mechanically affected zone on the advancing side.
Solidification crack susceptibility of aluminum alloy weld metals
حساسیت به ترک انجمادی در فلزهای جوش آلیاژهای آلومینیوم
ABSTRACT
The susceptibilities of the three aluminum alloys to solidification crack were studied with trans-varestraint tests and tensile tests at elevated temperature. Their metallurgical characteristics, morphologies of the fractured surface and dynamic cracking behaviors at elevated temperature were analyzed with a series of micro-analysis methods. The results show that dynamic cracking models can be classified into three types. The first model has the healing effect which is called type A. The second is the one with deformation and breaking down of metal bridge, called type B. The last one is with the separation of liquid film along grain boundary, called type C. Moreover, the strain rate has different effects on crack susceptibility of aluminum alloys with different cracking models. ZL101 and 5083 alloys belong to type A and type C cracking model respectively, in which strain rate has greater effect on eutectic healing and plastic deformation of metal bridge. 6082 alloy is type B cracking model in which the strain rate has little effect on the deformation ability of the liquid film.

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.

Investigations on the structure – Property relationships of
electron beam welded Inconel 625 and UNS 32205
بررسی روابط خواص-ساختار اتصال Inconel 625 به UNS 32205
به روش جوشکاری پرتو الکترونی
ABSTRACT
The metallurgical and mechanical properties of electron beam welded Ni based superalloy Inconel 625 and UNS S32205 duplex stainless steel plates have been investigated in the present study. Interface microstructure studies divulged the absence of any grain coarsening effects or the formation of any secondary phases at the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the electron beam (EB) weldments. Tensile studies showed that the fracture occurred at the weld zone in all the trials and the average weld strength was reported to be 850 MPa. Segregation of Mo rich phases was witnessed at the inter-dendritic arms of the fusion zone. The study recommended the use of EB welding for joining these dissimilar metals by providing detailed structure – property relationships.

Effect of repair-welding parameters on life time of
die casting moulds
اثر پارامترهای جوشکاری ترمیمی بر عمر مفید قالب های دایکست
ABSTRACT
In die casting, H13 hot working tool steels are exposed to heat shocking and cracking due to the thermal fatigue which is exerted by die casting process. The gradual destruction of mould surfaces during the service, decreases casting piece quality and limits the mould life time. These moulds are expensive and replacing of them is the main problem of the die casting industries therefore repair-welding of die casting moulds can be helpful. H13 steel has low weldability because of the significant hardening resulted from large amounts of alloying elements. Within this study, results were obtained on the performance of repair welded parts that were welded by three types of filler metals on the thermal fatigue test. The filler metals that are used in this study are H13 tool steel, maraging steel and Co-base alloy. Maximum and minimum life time of the repair welded parts of die casting mould in the thermal fatigue test were obtained from Co-base alloy and H13 hot work steel filler metals, respectively. Repair-welding by maraging filler metal shows the intermediate life time. It seems that repair-welding of H13 moulds by maraging filler metals is more economic because of its lower price in comparison with the Co-base filler metal.

پرکردن اتصال AA2219
ABSTRACT
Being brittle and having low thermal conductivity, refractories suffer damage and sometimes fail in service as a result of thermal shock. While the approach of those making fine-grained technical ceramics is to make their products sufficiently strong to withstand thermal stresses the refractory technologist is more cunning. He uses, often little known, devices to provide resistance to thermal shock that minimise but do not eliminate damage to the component. In this paper the basic equations of thermal conduction and elasticity are presented and followed by some immediate results that should guide the designer of components subject to severe thermal environments. The influence of size and shape of the refractory components is then discussed along with ways in which refractory producers can engineer the thermal and mechanical properties. In particular, the methods used to tailor fracture behavior to optimize the thermal shock resistance are treated in some detail.
Influence of solidification on the microstructural evolution
of nickel base weld metal
تاثیر انجماد بر تحول ریزساختاری فلز جوش پایه نیکل
ABSTRACT
The effect of segregation resulting from solidification on the microstructural evolution of nickel base alloys was investigated. Two different groups of alloys were produced to simulate either the Hastelloy C type or the Inconel 625/718 type of alloys. Gravitational thermal analysis welding was performed on these experimental alloys and the extent of microsegregation in the weld metal was determined. Using composition profiles obtained from solidified microstructures, predictions of the phase stability of these microstructures were made based on metal d-level (Md) calculations. The maximum Md values obtained in these microstructures were compared with those critical to the formation of topologically close-packed (TCP) phases such as sigma, P, and Laves. These profiles showed an increase in the Md level in the interdendritic regions which was correlated to the formation of TCP phases.

Hydrogen influence on fracture toughness of the weld metal in
super duplex stainless steel (UNS S32750) welded with two different heat input
اثر هیدروژن بر روی تافنس شکست فلز جوش در فولاد زنگ نزن دوفازی
(UNS S32750) جوشکاری شده با دو حرارت ورودی مختلف
ABSTRACT
The super duplex stainless steels have a microstructure composed by two phases, ferrite (α) and austenite (γ). This dual microstructure improves simultaneously the mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. However, the welding of these steels is often a critical operation. The present work evaluated the fracture toughness through critical tip open displacement (CTOD) tests of welded joints, with two different heat input, 1.1 kJ mm−1 and 2.0 kJ mm−1. The steel used was a super duplex stainless steel (UNS S32750) in presence of hydrogen. The CTOD tests (according BS 7448-1 and BS 7448-2 standards) were performed in air and under different times of hydrogenation. The procedure of hydrogenation has been performed using cathodic potential of −1400 mVSCE by 96 and 360 h. The microstructural analysis allowed to determine relevant aspects (α/γ balance, inter austenitic spacing and γ morphology) and to compare with CTOD results. The results showed strong evidence that the reductions of CTOD values is related to differences in the γ2 morphologies. Another important result was the high statistic dispersion in the measures of austenitic spacing, according DNV RP F112-08, which implies in low reliability of using this standard in presence of high anisotropy. The paper also aims to discuss and evaluate which is the best approach to hydrogenated duplex stainless steels: linear elastic fracture mechanics or elasto plastic fracture mechanics.

Effect of welding parameters on the solidification microstructure
of autogenous TIG welds in an Al–Cu–Mg–Mn alloy
تاثیر پارامترهای جوشکاری بر میکروساختار انجمادی جوش های TIG
بدون ماده پر کننده در یک آلیاژ Al–Cu–Mg–Mn
ABSTRACT
The weld metal microstructures of autogenous TIG welds have been investigated for a range of welding conditions using an Al–Cu–Mg–Mn alloy. It was found that a combination of high welding speeds and low power densities provide the thermal conditions required for the nucleation and growth of equiaxed grains in the weld pool, providing heterogeneous nucleation sites are available. The most likely origin of the nucleants is from a combination of dendrite fragments and TiB2 particles that survive in the weld pool. The finest microstructure was observed in the centre of the weld and is attributed to the higher cooling rates which operate along the weld centreline. Composition profiles across the dendrite side arms were measured in the TEM and were found to follow a Scheil type segregation behaviour where there is negligible back diffusion in the solid. The measured core concentration of the dendrite side arms was found to rise with increasing welding speed and was attributed to the formation of significant undercoolings ahead of the primary dendrite tip, which enriched the liquid surrounding the dendrite side arms.
