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 effects of submerged-arc welding consumables, wire and flux, on solidification cracking in the weld metal of medium-carbon steel were investigated, and it was shown that weld metal with a greater amount of C, S, and P had a wider brittleness temperature range, BTR, which resulted in longer total and maximum crack lengths in Varestraint tests.
Abstract: s: The effects of submerged-arc welding consumables, wire and flux, on solidification cracking in the weld metal of medium-carbon steel were investigated. It showed that weld metal with a greater amount of C, S, and P had a wider brittleness temperature range, BTR, which resulted in longer total and maximum crack lengths in Varestraint tests. To determine the effect of flux on the amount of C, S, and P in the weld metal, transfers of the elements between the slag and the weld metal were evaluated. While C and S were removed from the weld metal to the slag, P was added from the slag to the weld metal. The amount of each element removed or added, however, was dependent on the basicity of the flux used. As the flux became more basic, more S was removed and less P was added, resulting in less S and P in the weld metal. In contrast, with increasing flux basicity, less C was removed, leaving a larger amount of C in the weld metal. Therefore, to minimize the amounts of these elements in the weld metal, in addition to the wire used, the flux basicity should also be carefully considered.

TL;DR: In this article, the welding effects on the mechanical behavior of 308L austenitic stainless steel weldments, respectively, were investigated to study the welding effect on the structural properties of the welds.
Abstract: Shielded metal arc (SMA) and gas tungsten arc (GTA) weldments were investigated to study the welding effects on the mechanical behavior of 308L austenitic stainless steel weldments, respectively. Both SMA and GTA weldments showed dendritic microstructure. The observed austenitic stainless steel welds solidified to give primary ferrite and secondary austenite as the ferritic-austenitic solidification mode (FA-mode) solidification. However, the lower heat input with larger Cr-versus-Ni ratio in SMA weld process led to lathy ferrite morphology and more residual ferrite in the SMA welds, while vermicular ferrite morphology was shown in GTA weldments. The yield strength of the welds significantly increased with decreasing elongation, which was mainly due to the dual phase strengthening effect after rapid solidification during welding

TL;DR: In this paper, three types of welding methods were used in this investigation, i.e., laser beam welding, electron beam welding and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), and the results showed that it is possible to perform similar Ti5553 alloy welds as well as dissimilar titanium welds.
Abstract: In the past two decades or so, titanium and its alloys have found a significant increase in the aerospace applications. One of the reasons is associated with the introduction of various new titanium alloys. Ti-5Al-5V-5Mo-3Cr (Ti5553) is one of the most notable new titanium alloys. This alloy has a high strength, excellent hardenability and good fracture toughness. Landing gear beam truck of aircraft has been successfully manufactured using this alloy. In order to find more applications in various areas, a number of factors are to be investigated, and one of them is its weldability. Three types of welding methods were used in this investigation, i.e. Laser Beam Welding (LBW), Electron Beam Welding and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). The results showed that it is possible to perform similar Ti5553 alloy weld as well as dissimilar titanium welds. It was observed that the (i) strength at the weld zones was lower compared with the base metal, and (ii) grains grew epitaxially from the near heat affected zone into the fusion zones. This study is part of a strong on-going collaboration projects between Akita University and AUT University.

TL;DR: In this article, the results showed that high frequency of low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) were formed through dynamic recovery in the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ).
Abstract: Friction stir welding was conducted on AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel sheet with dimensions of 100 mm × 100 mm × 2 mm. The FSW was performed at a welding speed of 150 mm/min and rotational speeds of 400 and 800 rpm. The results showed that high frequency of low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) were formed through dynamic recovery in the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ). Higher amount of LAGBs were developed in the TMAZ of welded sample with 800 rpm due to the higher amount of strain and heat generated. High fraction of high angle grain boundaries were formed in the stir zone (SZ) of the welded samples through the occurrence of continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). A very fine microstructure developed in the sampled welded with lower rotational speed. Analysis of texture using {111} Pole figures showed the formation of shear texture components in the SZ of both welded samples. The intensity of the obtained texture for the sample welded with 800 rpm was greater. The formation of shear texture components in the SZ of both samples implied the occurrence of CDRX mechanism.
