TL;DR: In this article, the fundamental understanding of structure-properties relationship in automotive steels resistance spot welds is discussed. And a brief review of friction stir spot welding, as an alternative to RSW, is also included.
Abstract: Spot welding, particularly resistance spot welding (RSW), is a critical joining process in automotive industry. The development of advanced high strength steels for applications in automotive industry is accompanied with a challenge to better understand the physical and mechanical metallurgy of these materials during RSW. The present paper critically reviews the fundamental understanding of structure–properties relationship in automotive steels resistance spot welds. The focus is on the metallurgical characteristics, hardness–microstructure correlation, interfacial to pullout failure mode transition and mechanical performance of steel resistance spot welds under quasi-static, fatigue and impact loading conditions. A brief review of friction stir spot welding, as an alternative to RSW, is also included.

  • ...Despite the fact that Schaeffler diagram predicts two phases (austenite plus ferrite) in the FZ of AISI 304 weld nugget microstructure, under rapid solidification conditions such as laser beam welding, a shift in solidification mode may occur.(90) It is generally believed that the change in solidification mode can often result in a fully austenitic microstructure compared to the two phase (ferrite plus austenite) microstructure that is commonly found after primary ferrite solidification....

  • ...Solidification crack is one of the most serious defects which occurs widely in welding [27,28], casting [29–31] and additive manufacturing (AM) [32,33], which occurs at the last stage of solidification when liquid films exist between dendrites boundaries where local strains cannot be accommodated by liquid feeding and solid deformation....

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of thermo-mechanically treated welds of steel S700 MC with a thickness of 10mm, created using various welding methods and with different values of supplied linear welding energy.
Abstract: The article presents the properties of thermo-mechanically treated welds of steel S700 MC with a thickness of 10 mm, created using various welding methods and with different values of supplied linear welding energy. The metallographic evaluation, tensile strength testing and hardness measurements allowed us to assess the structure and properties of the welds and evaluate the influence of the amount of heat supplied to the welding area on the tensile strength, impact strength and hardness of welds.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of welding current on the joining of mild steel and aluminum 6063 has been investigated using a tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding and the welding currents used were 30 A to 80 A. The results showed that tensile shear strength increased as welding current increased up to 55 A.
Abstract: The effect of welding current on the joining of mild steel and aluminum 6063 has been investigated. The joining was carried using a tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. The welding currents used were 30 A to 80 A. The formation of intermetallic reaction layers (IML) and tensile shear strength of the joining were investigated. The result showed that tensile shear strength increased as welding current increased up to 55 A. Microstructural analysis showed that intermetallic reaction layer was formed at the interface between steel and aluminum alloy during welding process. The thickness of IML was decreased with decreasing welding current.

TL;DR: In this paper, NiCrSiBC (Colmonoy 6) has been considered as a hardfacing material to replace cobalt-based Stellite 6 material due to elimination of radiation activity, lower cost, and higher coating hardness.
Abstract: P91 steels are used as substrate material for steam turbine components like bush, valve seat internals, and engineering valves. These components have hardfacing of cobalt-based material to reduce the high temperature wear loss and to improve the surface hardness. However, delamination failure and higher heat affected zone (HAZ) hardness were identified challenges for P91 steels. Hence, this demands the development of a suitable weld hardfacing approach to resolve the said challenges. In this work, NiCrSiBC (Colmonoy 6) has been considered as a hardfacing material to replace cobalt-based Stellite 6 material due to elimination of radiation activity, lower cost, and higher coating hardness. FCAW and PTA techniques were used to deposit buffer layer (SS-309L) and hardfacing layer (NiCrSiBC) respectively. Sample WBL (with deposition of buffer layer) and sample WOBL (without deposition of buffer layer) are considered approaches to study the metallurgical characterization for each case. Higher coating hardness, lower HAZ hardness and lower Fe dilution were observed in sample WBL. Cr7C3, Cr2B, and Cr5B3 hard phases in block shape together with ϒ- nickel matrix solid solution was observed in coating region of sample WBL. Overall, sample WBL approach was considered to overcome weld hardfacing challenges for steam turbine industries.

TL;DR: In this paper, artificial neural network (ANN) models and multi-response optimization technique were used to predict and select the best welding parameters during Hybrid Laser Arc Welding (HLAW), Hot Wire Cladding (HWC) and Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) of ZE41-T5 alloy.
Abstract: This paper describes the development of artificial neural network (ANN) models and multi-response optimization technique to predict and select the best welding parameters during Hybrid Laser Arc Welding (HLAW), Hot Wire Cladding (HWC) and Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) of ZE41-T5 alloy. To predict the performance characteristics, namely; weld depth, underfill, percentage defect and total accumulated pore length, artificial neural network models were developed using Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. ZE41-T5 was selected as the material to be welded with AZ61 alloy as filler material. Experiments were planned using a 3-factor central composite design and were performed under different welding conditions of laser power, travel speed, wire feed rate, current and frequency. The responses were optimized concurrently using ANN Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Finally, experimental confirmations were carried out to identify the effectiveness of ANN. A good agreement was obtained between the experimental output data and ANN predicted results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of heat treatment on the corrosion resistance of 304L stainless steel was studied and the extent of sensitization was quantitatively evaluated using double loop electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation test.
Abstract: The effect of heat treatment on the corrosion resistance of AISI 304L stainless steel is studied in the present investigation. As-received samples of 304L stainless steel were solution annealed at 1 050°C for 90 minutes followed by thermal ageing at 750°C for various time durations (upto 24 days). ASTM standard A-262 practice A test was used to detect susceptibility of inter-granular attack. Electron dispersive spectroscopy attached to scanning electron microscopy was performed for identification of carbides. It was observed that no significant amount of attack took place upto 1 day. The extent of sensitization was quantitatively evaluated using double loop electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation test. The results obtained showed that corrosion resistance decreased with an increase in thermal ageing duration. This behavior was attributed to the precipitation of chromium carbides causing depletion of chromium in the areas adjacent to the grain boundaries (as determined by electron probe micro analyzer). The degree of sensitization of highly aged sample was found to be 24.6%. Further, the degree of sensitization in terms of polarization resistance was computed in the middle of the transpassive potential region (at 1.1 V) using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
