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.

Abstract: Laser beam welding of light alloys has always represented a big challenge for both designers and technologists due to the large number of process parameters to take into account and the variable responses of the different materials to be welded. In this paper the results of experimental research on laser beam welds of innovative heat treatable aluminum alloys is reported. The well known T geometry (a stringer welded to a skin) has been considered. Two different skins have been analyzed: AA 2139 and AA 6156, both in form of rolled sheets. Two different stringer have been analyzed: AA 2139 and PA 765, both in form of extruded parts. AA 4047 has been used as filler wire. In the first part of the paper, all the steps leading to the realization of sound welds will be described. The criteria used in order to assess the soundness of a weld was the absence of defects, such as cracks or large pores, verified by means of NDE. In the second part of study, both micro structural analysis and mechanical characterization of welds will be described and discussed. Conclusions will demonstrate the importance of the influence of chemical composition of the parts, above all stringer. The performance of the best welds, however, were very close to those of parent materials.

Abstract: The CoCrCuFeNiNb high-entropy alloys coatings were prepared by using plasma-transferred arc cladding process. The microstructure and electrochemical behaviors of the coating were investigated in detail. The experimental results indicated that the coating consists of a simple fcc solid solution phase and an order (CoCr)Nb-type Laves phase. The polarization curves, obtained in 1 and 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid solutions, clearly indicated that the general corrosion resistance of the coating at ambient temperature was better than that of 304 stainless steel. The coating displayed a lower corrosion current and lower corrosion rate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrated that the impedance of the coating was significantly higher than that of the 304 stainless steel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an understanding of microstructural evolution and resultant mechanical properties of cast precipitation-hardened (PH) stainless steels subjected to heat-affected zone (HAZ) thermal cycles in the solution treated and aged condition (S-A-W condition) and solution-treated condition with a postweld thermal cycle age (SW-A condition).

Abstract: Cast precipitation-hardened (PH) stainless steels 17-4 and 13-8+Mo are used in applications that require a combination of high strength and moderate corrosion resistance. Many such applications require fabrication and/or casting repair by fusion welding. The purpose of this work is to develop an understanding of microstructural evolution and resultant mechanical properties of these materials when subjected to weld thermal cycles. Samples of each material were subjected to heat-affected zone (HAZ) thermal cycles in the solution-treated and aged condition (S-A-W condition) and solution-treated condition with a postweld thermal cycle age (S-W-A condition). Dilatometry was used to establish the onset of various phase transformation temperatures. Light optical microscopy (LOM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) were used to characterize the microstructures, and comparisons were made to gas metal arc welds that were heat treated in the same conditions. Tensile testing was also performed. MatCalc thermodynamic and kinetic modeling software was used to predict the evolution of copper (Cu)-rich body center cubic precipitates in 17-4 and β-NiAl precipitates in 13-8+Mo. The yield strength was lower in the simulated HAZ samples of both materials prepared in the S-A-W condition when compared to their respective base metals. Samples prepared in the S-W-A condition had higher and more uniform yield strengths for both materials. Significant changes were observed in the matrix microstructure of various HAZ regions depending on the peak temperature, and these microstructural changes were interpreted with the aid of dilatometry results, LOM, SEM, and EDS. Despite these significant changes to the matrix microstructure, the changes in mechanical properties appear to be governed primarily by the precipitation behavior. The decrease in strength in the HAZ samples prepared in the S-A-W condition was attributed to the dissolution of precipitates, which was supported by the MatCalc modeling results. MatCalc modeling results for samples in the S-W-A condition predicted uniform size of precipitates across all regions of the HAZ, and these predictions were supported by the observed trends in mechanical properties. Cross-weld tensile tests performed on GMA welds showed the same trends in mechanical behavior as the simulated HAZ samples. Welding in the S-W-A condition resulted in over 90 pct retention in yield strength when compared to base metal strengths. These findings indicate that welding these PH stainless steels in the solution-treated condition and using a postweld age will provide better and more uniform mechanical properties in the HAZ that are more consistent with the base metal properties.

Abstract: The effects of the microstructural constituents, chemical composition, and retained austenite on high-strength weld metal were studied using preheat-free steels and GMAW solid wires with a low hydrogen content. The cold cracking susceptibility of these GMAW wires was evaluated using the y-groove Tekken test. The results showed that acicular ferrite produced the greatest resistance to cold cracking and that the microstructure of the deposit was more important than the hardness and diffusible hydrogen content in low-hydrogen weld metal. Crack blunting and branching occurred when a crack propagated through fine acicular ferrite because of the fine interlocking nature of the microstructure. Alloying elements for nucleating acicular ferrite, such as Ti, Al, and V, are required for proper austenite grain size, and sequence of inclusion formation was identified in the present paper. Furthermore, the retained austenite was not found to play the role of a hydrogen trapping site and so had no effect on the cold cracking susceptibility at a low preheating temperature (≤100°C) and low heat input (≤1.5 KJ/mm) to the weld metal.
