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....

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and numerical investigation on controlling the microstructure and brittle phase formation during laser dissimilar welding of carbon steel to austenitic stainless steel was conducted.
Abstract: This study reports an experimental and numerical investigation on controlling the microstructure and brittle phase formation during laser dissimilar welding of carbon steel to austenitic stainless steel. The significance of alloying composition and cooling rate were experimentally investigated. The investigation revealed that above a certain specific point energy the material within the melt pool is well mixed and the laser beam position can be used to control the mechanical properties of the joint. The heat-affected zone within the high-carbon steel has significantly higher hardness than the weld area, which severely undermines the weld quality. A sequentially coupled thermo-metallurgical model was developed to investigate various heat-treatment methodology and subsequently control the microstructure of the HAZ. Strategies to control the composition leading to dramatic changes in hardness, microstructure and service performance of the dissimilar laser welded fusion zone are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a verdadeiro efeito dos parâmetros de soldagem e do tratamento termico especificado pela literatura em situacoes de campo was identificado.
Abstract: A principal caracteristica dos acos inoxidaveis duplex e o equilibrio entre as fases austenita e ferrita, que garantem ao material melhores indices de resistencias a corrosao e mecânica. No entanto, durante o processo de soldagem, ocorrem modificacoes estruturais, principalmente no balanco destas fases. Este desbalanceamento, em funcao dos niveis de solicitacoes mecânicas, pode levar tais regioes soldadas ao colapso. No intuito de minimizar o desequilibrio das fases na regiao soldada, diversas tecnicas sao utilizadas, tais como insercao de metal de adicao com elementos austenitizantes, uso de gas de protecao com nitrogenio ou, em outros casos, controle pos soldagem. Buscou-se identificar o verdadeiro efeito dos parâmetros de soldagem e do tratamento termico especificado pela literatura em situacoes de campo. Atraves de uma avaliacao temporal, observando uma linha de producao de tubulacao flexivel de aco inoxidavel duplex UNS 32304 durante tres anos, utilizando-se de procedimentos convencionais de soldagem com e sem a utilizacao de tratamento termico foram observadas as falhas por fratura na zona termicamente afetada (ZTA). Foi utilizado um indutor localizado para o tratamento termico, gerando um intenso fluxo de calor que promoveu temperaturas da ordem de 1000 oC a altissimas taxas de subida e descida, conforme estabelecem algumas literaturas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation and forming behavior of steel-to-steel tailor welded blanks (TWBs) made from advanced high strength steel (AHSS) such as dual phase (DP780) steel.
Abstract: In the last two decades or so, hybrid structures from dissimilar materials and/or sheet gauges have been developed to achieve weight reduction while maintaining or even improving structural performance such as stiffness, crash and impact behavior. In particular, welded and brazed sheet materials in the form of tailor blanks (TBs) are being increasingly used or considered for future applications in different applications such as automotive, aerospace and marine constructions as they offer attractive combination of strength and performance in applications where weight reduction is desirable. However, technical problems are often encountered during forming of TBs from dissimilar base sheet materials with different thickness and/or strength. These include weld line movement and non-uniform deformation. Additionally, there are premature weld failures due to the presence of softening zone (as in TBs made from advanced high strength steels), and brazed interface failure due to insufficient bonding and wetting (as in TBs made from steel and aluminum). These areas of forming of TBs need to be scientifically studied to advance the use of dissimilar materials. The current research involves an understanding of deformation and forming behavior of steel-to-steel tailor welded blanks (TWBs) made from advanced high strength steel (AHSS) such as dual phase (DP780) steel. The research also involves a study of deformation behavior of steel-to-aluminum tailor brazed blanks (TBBs). TWBs have been

TL;DR: In this paper, a chambre d'arc modele represente de facon simplifiee l'environnement de l'arc electrique durant cette phase.
Abstract: Le disjoncteur modulaire protege les installations electriques basse-tension contre les defauts de court-circuit. L’arc electrique, genere dans la chambre de coupure du disjoncteur lors de l’ouverture du circuit, est fractionne en plusieurs arcs dans un assemblage de multiples plaquettes metalliques, afin de limiter l’intensite du courant et d'isoler le defaut. Le travail expose dans ce document se concentre sur la phase de limitation de l’intensite du courant de court-circuit. Une chambre d’arc modele represente de facon simplifiee l’environnement de l’arc electrique durant cette phase. L'arc est amorce par une impulsion haute-tension entre deux plaquettes metalliques fixes, l'onde de courant est transitoire et de forte intensite. La pertinence du montage experimental est validee par la confrontation des phenomenes qu'il permet d'observer a ceux rencontres dans le disjoncteur. Une attention particuliere est portee a la tension d'arc, qui est une caracteristique determinante pour la performance de la limitation. L’influence du materiau des electrodes est etudiee, en distinguant le substrat d’un eventuel revetement.
