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 article, the microstructure of nickel-based overlay welds after ageing heat treatments was evaluated using micro-hardness profiles and scanning electron microscopy together with energy dispersive spectrometry analysis.
Abstract: This work is intended to evaluate the microstructure of nickel-based overlay welds after ageing heat treatments. GMA welds using an AWS ERNiCrMo-3 electrode were deposited with a robot on ASTM A516 Gr.60 steel. Two weld heat inputs were used, 1.0 and 1.4 kJ/mm, with a current of 290 A, arc voltage of 33 V, and welding speeds of 9.7 and 6.8 mm/s, respectively. The ageing processes were conducted at 600°C using times of 100 and 300 h. Micro-hardness profiles and scanning electron microscopy together with energy dispersive spectrometry analysis were carried out to characterize the overlay. The hardness profile indicated that, in the ‘as welded’ condition, the overlay and heat-affected zone (HAZ) hardness were about 240 and 190 VH, respectively. The ageing process decreased the HAZ hardness to 120 VH and increased the overlay hardness to 290 VH after 100 h and to 310 VH after 300 h. These changes occurred due to HAZ decarburization and transformation of micro phases. After ageing, hard zones with values of ar...

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of soaking time during sensitization on the mechanical properties of Austenitic stainless steels was investigated and it was concluded from the results obtained that the macro and micro hardness of AISI 316 decreases with increase in soaking time at a constant soaking temperature.
Abstract: An investigation was carried out to determine the effect of soaking time during sensitization on the Mechanical properties of Austenitic stainless steels [1]. The selected samples of AISI 316 and AISI 304 were cut into several pieces so that different amount of sensitization was introduced into the different pieces. To induce sensitization, the samples were heated and soaked at 750°C for different time intervals such as 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 180minutes, 300 minutes and 600 minutes followed by water quenching. The resultant samples were tested for Tensile strength, Micro hardness and Macro hardness. It was concluded from the results obtained that the macro and micro hardness of AISI 316 and AISI 304 decreases with increase in soaking time at a constant soaking temperature., However, the macro hardness of AISI 304 decreases more than AISI 316 with increase in soaking time at specified soaking temperature. It was similarly concluded that the tensile strengths AISI 316 and AISI 304 decreases with increase in soaking time at a constant soaking temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of laser shock peening (LSP) to improve the metallurgical and mechanical properties of the weld joint was discussed. And the results showed that a fine equiaxed dendritic structure was observed in both conditions.
Abstract: Microsegregation of alloying elements is prone to hot cracking in the weldment of alloy C-276. The formation of topologically close packed phases P and µ is largely responsible for the hot cracking. The present study articulates the effect of laser shock peening (LSP) to improve the metallurgical and mechanical properties of the weld joint. The weld joint was fabricated by pulsed current gas tungsten arc welding (PCGTAW) using an ERNiCrMo-3 filler wire. LSP without coating was carried out on the cap surface of the weldment. Microstructural studies were carried out to compare the as-welded and laser-peened microstructure on the fusion zone. The results show that a fine equiaxed dendritic structure was observed in both conditions. EDS analysis was carried out to evaluate the microsegregation of alloying elements. EDS analysis indicates that there are no secondary intermetallic phases. X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out to evaluate the phase change and crystallite size in the as-welded and laser shock peened fusion zone. The result shows 48.99% reduction in crystallite size after LSP. Hardness and tensile strength results indicate there is a consequential increase in laser shock peened specimen compared with as-welded specimen.

TL;DR: In this article, the corrosion behaviors studied of many welded joints which were implemented using (TIG Welding) method on Low carbon steel 1020 AISI at constant voltage, welding speed and variable DC current for each pass.
Abstract: Welding is one of important industrial processes, therefore many techniques are development to get an efficient and low cost welding for different kinds of materials. In this research, the corrosion behaviors studied of many welded joints which were implemented using (TIG Welding) method on Low carbon steel 1020 AISI at constant voltage, welding speed and variable DC current for each pass. Microstructure of weld zones, according to standard ASTM (G71-31) a number of corrosion examination samples are equipped with the measurements of (15 x 15 x3) mm which distributed into the many groups. Corrosion test was done by electrochemical methods for all specimens in environments of 3.5% NaCl solution. Corrosion rate is calculated using the Tafel equation. The results which obtained shows increase in corrosion rate of the weld joint which made at four passé with decreasing DC current for each pass compared with other weld joints and base metal but the increasing in DC current of the weld joint which carried out at three passes improved the corrosion rate compared with weld joint also carried out at three pass but include decrease in DC current.

The arc voltage, welding current, welding speed, stick-out, and ZrO2 nano-particles were used as the input parameters and HMZ as the response to develop FL model. The predicted results from FL were compared with the experimental data. The most important input parameter affecting the HMZs was the addition of ZrO2 nanoparticle coatings with a thickness of 1 mm, which increased the hardness from 78 to 84 HRB. The correlation factor value obtained was 99.98% between the measured and predicted values of HMZ. The results showed that FL is an accurate and reliable technique for predicting HMZ because of its low error rate. Also, the presence of ZrO2 nano-particles in the weld pool has increased the penetration up to 2 times.
