TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the pre-existing dislocation network, which maintains its configuration during the entire plastic deformation, is an ideal modulator that is able to slow down but not entirely block the dislocation motion.

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....

  • ...In coarse grained region, which is beside the FZ, both high cooling rate and large austenite grain size coupled with the formation of the carbon rich austenite promote the formation of the martensite.(90) Figure 15 shows the microstructure gradient in TRIP780 RSW....

  • ...The HAZ in carbon steel weldments can be divided into three distinct subregions: (i) upper critical HAZ (UCHAZ): This region experiences peak temperatures above Ac3 transforming BM microstructure into austenite.(90) Depending on the peak temperature the supercritical HAZ can be divided to the following zones: coarse grained HAZ (CGHAZ) and fine grained HAZ....

  • ...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 article, two técnicas multi-objectivos, NSGA-II and SPEA2, were used for otimizar the process of fabricação of eletrodos revestidos.
Abstract: Os eletrodos revestidos, utilizados na soldagem por arco elétrico, são submetidos durante o processo de fabricação a altas temperaturas para a remoção da umidade de seu revestimento, que é prejudicial a sua aplicação. Um tipo especial destes eletrodos, o Inox, apresenta alta sensibilidade ao processo de secagem resultando em altas taxas de rejeição. Assim, esse trabalho propõe otimizar, computacionalmente, o processo de fabricação, levando em consideração os parâmetros de qualidade, umidade e fragilidade, bem como o custo de produção. No processo de otimização, foram utilizadas duas técnicas multiobjetivo baseadas em algoritmos evolutivos, NSGA-II e SPEA2, e duas funções objetivos, uma referente à qualidade do produto, constitúıda pela soma ponderada dos parâmetros umidade e fragilidade, e outra relacionada ao custo de fabricação. Cada um dos algoritmos multiobjetivo foi implementado seguindo os mesmos parâmetros construtivos e o desempenho foi medido por meio da métrica hipervolume. Ao final, os resultados mostraram que é posśıvel encontrar novos parâmetros do processo produtivo e que, além de atenderem as exigências de qualidade, conseguiram uma redução de até 31% nos custos de produção, dependendo do fator de ponderação utilizado na agregação dos parâmetros umidade e fragilidade. Keywords—Eletrodos Revestidos, Otimização Multiobjetivo, NSGA-II, SPEA2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure of HP stainless steel in aged and aged + solution annealed conditions and solutionized alloy 800 was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) equipped by EDS.
Abstract: The microstructure of HP stainless steel in aged and aged + solution annealed conditions and solutionized alloy 800 was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped by EDS. All phases present in the above condition were described. The effects of solution annealing heat treatment temperature on the microstructure, tensile, hardness, toughness, and ductility of aged HP stainless steel and its weldability to alloy 800 have been discussed. In addition, the effects of heat input, interpass temperature, and type of filler metal on weldability of two alloys were investigated. It was found that during solution annealing, the precipitates produced in the aging stage are decomposed and niobium carbide (NbC) is formed. It was also observed that while tensile strength and hardness fell, ductility and toughness were improved. Dissimilar welding between alloy 800 and aged HP stainless steel was not successful and cracks were observed in the HAZ of the aged HP stainless steel, while welding alloy 800 to HP stainless steel (aged + solution annealing at 1100-1200oC, low interpass temperature, and Inconel 82 or 617 filler metals) was successful.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a critical evaluation of the microstructure and hardness of the welded joints for pipes with small diameter used in oil refineries, aiming to correlate the results with the residual stresses.
Abstract: The first part of this work presented the results of the experimental determination of residual stresses along top joints in pipes. The purpose of the second part will be to present a critical evaluation of the microstructure and hardness of the welded joints for pipes with small diameter used in oil refineries, aiming to correlate the results with the residual stresses. The methodology consists of welding pipes with a diameter of 2 in., using a manual TIG process. AWS ER70-S3 addition metal with a 2.5 mm diameter was used. An electronic welding source and a data acquisition system for control were used to control the welding parameters. Metallographic samples were conventionally prepared and electropolished using chloride acid solution. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the microstructure. Microhardness tests were made along the weld. The results show that the combination of heat cycles between the root and the finish with low heat support caused significant reinin...
