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, a computational model of dendritic growth based on the CALPHAD thermodynamic model was developed, which allows for the investigation of some practical alloys such as stainless steels.
Abstract: A computational model of dendritic growth based on the CALPHAD thermodynamic model was developed in this study. The dendrite growth was simulated using cellular automata (CA) with the equilibrium conditions in interfacial cells. The developed novel model (CA-CALPHAD) overcomes the current limitation of the published CA models, in which linearized phase diagrams are used, and allows for the investigation of some practical alloys such as stainless steels. To reduce the computational time, the study proposes a specific data structure to store the thermodynamic information and an efficient interpolation scheme to retrieve the information during the simulation. The model takes into account the curvature effect of the evolving solid/liquid (S/L) interface by incorporating the capillarity undercooling into the thermodynamic information during the simulation. The finite volume (FV) numerical scheme was used to solve the mass and heat diffusion equations. The developed CA-CALPHAD model can be used to investigate the free growth, constrained growth, and competitive growth of dendrites in response to different solidification parameters. The results of modeling include the dendrite morphology, dendrite size, solute segregation in the dendrite, dendrite growth rate, dendrite tip radius, and the spacing between primary and secondary dendritic arms. Finally, a procedure of linking the developed CA-CALPHAD model to a computational welding mechanics tool (CWM) was developed producing a holistic multiphysics model (CWM-CA-CALPHAD). Therefore, the model can be used to predict the microstructure of a weld in response to realistic welding parameters and weld joints design.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fonte de laser de diodo, equipada com um cabecote coaxial continuo, was used for deposicao de revestimentos of Stellite 6 livres de descontinuidades and com geometria adequada sobre aco inoxidavel austenitico.
Abstract: Resumo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar parâmetros de processamento a laser para deposicao de revestimentos de Stellite 6 livres de descontinuidades e com geometria adequada sobre aco inoxidavel austenitico. Revestimentos foram depositados com uma fonte de laser de diodo, equipada com um cabecote coaxial continuo, utilizando diferentes potencias do feixe e velocidades de varredura. A geometria (largura, altura, ondulacao e diluicao) dos revestimentos foi medida por meio de analise da seccao transversal. Esses dados obtidos foram utilizados para a modelagem do processo (superficie de resposta) e para estimar parâmetros otimizados (funcao desejabilidade), que foram posteriormente verificados experimentalmente. A microestrutura dos revestimentos depositados com os parâmetros otimizados foi caracterizada por microscopia optica e eletronica de varredura. A selecao adequada dos parâmetros resultou em revestimentos com bom acabamento, livre de descontinuidades superficiais e baixa diluicao. Os resultados mostram que a potencia do laser teve efeito significativo sobre a diluicao, enquanto a velocidade influenciou na altura da camada depositada. A microestrutura resultante do revestimento e composta por dendritas ricas em cobalto e a regiao interdendritica com carbonetos de cromo. Os resultados de dureza estao de acordo com o previsto na literatura.

TL;DR: In this article, a Benard cell was constructed for the solidification of a transparent alloy under Rayleigh-Benard convection, and dendrite fragmentation was observed, and the flow field was mapped.
Abstract: The present paper reports on an in situ experiment to investigate the effects of fluid flow on dendrite fragmentation. A Benard cell was constructed for the solidification of a transparent alloy under Rayleigh–Benard convection. Dendrite fragmentation was observed, and the flow field was mapped. It was found that a Benard cell provides a useful apparatus for studying dendrite fragmentation under controlled conditions in transparent alloys. Preliminary results showed that structural fragmentation occurs under relatively quiescent flow conditions, suggesting that deformation processes play little role in this system.

TL;DR: For quantitative evaluation of solidification cracking susceptibility in two kinds of type 316FR stainless steel (316FR-A and 316FR-B) laser welds, laser beam welding transverse-Varestraint test was performed as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: For quantitative evaluation of solidification cracking susceptibility in two kinds of type 316FR stainless steel (316FR-A and 316FR-B) laser welds, laser beam welding (LBW) transverse-Varestraint test was performed. As the welding speed increased from 1.67 to 40.0 mm/s, enlargement range of solidification brittle temperature range (BTR) for 316FR-B (from 14 to 40 K) was larger than that for 316FR-A (from 37 to 46 K), respectively. Based on theoretical calculations for solid/liquid coexistence temperature range by using Kurz-Giovanola-Trivedi and solidification segregation models, the reason for larger increment of the BTR for 316FR-B could be regarded as larger decrement of δ-ferrite amount during the welding solidification than that for 316FR-A, affecting severe increment of the impurities’ segregation (S and P), thereby more enlarging the solid/liquid coexistence temperature range as compared with that of 316FR-A.
