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 effects of activating fluxes on macromorphologies, microstructures and mechanical properties of low power pulse laser beam welding of AZ31 magnesium alloy joints were investigated by microstructural observations.
Abstract: Effects of activating fluxes on macromorphologies, microstructures and mechanical properties of low power pulse laser beam welding of AZ31 magnesium alloy joints were investigated by microstructural observations and mechanical properties tests (including the ultimate tensile strength and hardness). The results showed that activating flux (SiO2) is more effective in improving the laser welded penetrations when the heat input is at a critical value (E = 53·42 J mm−1). Five typical fluxes (SiO2, TiO2, ZnCl2, CaCl2 and CaF2) all increased the weld penetrations and D/W ratios of the welded joints. The morphologies of grains in the band zones with fluxes are characterised by dendritic crystals. Moreover, the widths of the band zones with oxide and chloride fluxes are wider than that with fluorine flux. The mechanical properties of the welded joints with fluxes were lower than those without flux. The fracture surface of the welded joints with fluxes exhibited a character of a mixed fracture.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Truchas, a solidi cation code developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, to calculate the spatial and temporal variations of temperature gradient (G) and growth velocity (R) at the liquid-solid interface of the melt pool.
Abstract: Additive Manufacturing (AM), the fabrication of 3-D parts from CAD models, is a disruptive technology that is transforming the manufacturing industry. In any manufacturing process, understanding the process-structure-property-performance (PSPP) linkage is crucial to predict the lifespan of the manufactured component. In the PSPP linkage, the solidi cation microstructure (liquid-solid phase transformation) is one of the important factors a ecting the mechanical property and performance of the additively manufactured components. During rapid solidi cation, the solidi cation microstructure is dictated by the thermal gradient (G) at the liquid-solid interface and velocity (R) of the liquid-solid interface. In this work, the transient heat transfer and uid ow within the molten pool is numerically analyzed using Truchas, a solidi cation code developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The spatial and temporal variations of temperature gradient (G) and growth velocity (R) at the liquid-solid interface of the melt pool were calculated using the data from numerical modeling. 1. The obtained transient knowledge from numerical modeling is used to design new melt scan strategies for an electron beam powder bed AM system (Arcam) and achieve the following. • Control the grain size of the columnar grains. • Control the grain morphology transition (Columnar to Equiaxed). 2. The e ect of build geometry on the grain morphology control has been reported. It is found that the scan parameters have to be modi ed as a function of geometry. The data from in-situ process monitoring (infrared imaging) is also analyzed to distinguish the underlying grain morphology.

TL;DR: In this article, Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) was used to study the influence of heat input (i.e. cooling rate) on mechanical/metallurgical properties of square butt welded joints.
Abstract: In this work, Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) was used to study the influence of heat input (i.e. cooling rate) on mechanical/metallurgical properties of square butt welded joints of DP 1000 sheets. The influence of filler metals of different strengths on the mechanical properties of joints was also tested. A significant decrease in hardness was observed in the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) due to martensite tempering, in regions where peak temperature was close to isotherm AC1 (calculated in 735 o C for these steel); coincidently, fracture in every tensile test occurred in regions where martensite was tempered, even when a wire of less strength was used. It was noticed that the decrease in ultimate tensile and yield strength of base metal was inherent to welding. When minimum heat input was used, deterioration in mechanical properties was less pronounced, once degree of HAZ softening was smaller. Elongation of joints increased with increasing heat input.
