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, response surface methodology (RSM) is used for modeling the mathematical relation between the responses (tensile strength and maximum temperature) and the friction welding parameters with minimum number of experiments.
Abstract: Abstract The joining of dissimilar metals is one of the most essential necessities of industries. Manufacturing by the joint of alloy steel and normal carbon steel is used in production, because it decreases raw material cost. The friction welding process parameters such as friction pressure, friction time, upset pressure, upset time and rotating speed play the major roles in determining the strength and microstructure of the joints. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM), which is a well-known design of experiments approach, is used for modeling the mathematical relation between the responses (tensile strength and maximum temperature), and the friction welding parameters with minimum number of experiments. The results show that RSM is an effective method for this type of problems for developing models and prediction.

TL;DR: In this article, the microsegregation potential of major alloying elements in the welded metal was investigated and two possible solidification paths added to the γ-Nb-C pseudoternary solidification diagram were proposed to analyse the solidification sequence of the new high chromium nickel base alloy.
Abstract: The solidification behaviour including microsegregation and secondary phase formation of a high chromium nickel base alloy weld deposited metal was examined with optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Microsegregation potential of major alloying elements in the weld deposited metal was investigated. The microconstituents formed during solidification were identified to be TiC and γ/Laves eutectic constituent. Most γ/Laves eutectic constituents were located at the dendrite interstices due to the microsegregation of Nb, Mo and Si. The volume percent of γ/Laves constituent was predicted by using Scheil equation, and there was a reasonable agreement between the predicted and measured value. Last, two possible solidification paths added to the γ-Nb-C pseudoternary solidification diagram were proposed to analyse the solidification sequence of the new high chromium nickel base alloy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the DP600/TRIP800 dissimilar steel couple was joined using resistance spot welding by combining various welding parameters including welding current, welding time and electrode force, and the tensile shear test was applied for determining relationship between welding parameters and mechanical properties of weldment.
Abstract: The widespread application of resistance spot welding in automotive body assemblies has made it mandatory for automotive manufacturers to examine the quality of the welding. A variety of destructive and nondestructive tests are applied and the weld nugget size is examined for inspection for weld quality. Because of the wide variety of welding parameters used in the spot welding, a welding diagram which gives the optimum weldability range for the welded material is required and extensively used. Due to the different chemical, physical and mechanical properties of different materials in dissimilar joints, it is difficult to evaluate the quality of the weld. In this study, the DP600/TRIP800 dissimilar steel couple was joined using resistance spot welding by combining various welding parameters including welding current, welding time and electrode force. The tensile shear test was applied for determining relationship between welding parameters and mechanical properties of weldment. For quality inspec...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate low current arcs and show that both the current and power distributions have minima in the centre, varying significantly from the expected Gaussian profile, due to the formation of the arc with the copper anode and the tungsten cathode.
Abstract: Most previous split anode calorimetry research has applied high weld currents which exhibit pseudo Gaussian distributions of arc current and power density. In this paper we investigate low current arcs and show that both the current and power distributions have minima in the centre – varying significantly from the expected Gaussian profile. This was postulated due to the formation of the arc with the copper anode and the tungsten cathode. Furthermore, a number of parameters were varied including the step size between measurements, anode thickness and anode surface condition as well as cathode type and tip geometry. The step size between measurements significantly influenced the distribution profile and the anode thickness needed to be above 7 mm to obtain consistent results.
