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 article, the microstructure and mechanical properties of super austenitic stainless steel butt joints made by gas metal arc welding with different shielding gas mixtures were investigated under two sets of optimized parameters employing three different shielding gases.
Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to present the investigations of the microstructure and mechanical properties of super austenitic stainless steel butt joints made by gas metal arc welding with different shielding gas mixtures. Welding was performed under two sets of optimized parameters employing three different shielding gases, namely 100% argon, 80% argon+20% CO2 and 100% CO2. The microstructure and the mechanical properties of the welds were examined. The fully austenitic base microstructure got transformed into primary dendritic and secondary interdendritic phases in the weld zone. Higher amount of secondary interdendritic phase was observed in the welds made under 100% argon gas whereas a rich amount of long columnar dendritic structures were observed in the welds made under 100% CO2 gas. Welds made under 80% argon+20%CO2 gas under the second set of parameter was found to exhibit comparatively better mechanical properties due to proper amount of the dendritic and interdendritic grain structures in the weld region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructures and mechanical properties of dissimilar weld joints between T92 and Super 304H steels were investigated, and the optimal groove angle for T92/Super 304H dissimilar joints was found to be 20°, considering mechanical properties.
Abstract: Abstract The microstructures and mechanical properties of dissimilar weld joints between T92 and Super 304H steels were investigated. Dissimilar weld joints with four groove angles were constructed using gas tungsten arc welding. The results showed that post-weld heat treatment improved the mechanical properties of the dissimilar weld joints. The optimal groove angle for T92/Super 304H dissimilar weld joints was found to be 20°, considering mechanical properties. Furthermore, the transformation from equiaxed dendrites to columnar dendrites was observed in the weld metal. Epitaxial growth and delta ferrites were found around the fusion line between the Super 304H and the weld metal.

TL;DR: In this article, the presence of TiO2 nanoparticle-based activated flux combined with orbital welding of seamless thick-walled pipes of stainless steel and lowcycle pulse current was done, representing a novel combination of welding processes parameters.
Abstract: In this work, the presence of TiO2 nanoparticle-based activated flux combined with orbital welding of seamless thick-walled pipes of stainless steel and lowcycle pulse current was done, representing a novel combination of welding processes parameters. Control specimens were welded without flux and consumable material, and without flux with the consumable material. Experimental welding with different welding parameters was done. Special attention was given to characterize the flux by zetasizer method, representing a new approach, versus the conventional approach where the nominal oxide particle size is reported. The obtained welds were visually tested, macroanalyzed, their microstructures examined, and their tensile and bending properties determined. The results show that the flux influences a significant increase in penetration depth, up to full penetration, which has a positive effect on the increase in the tensile and bending properties of the weld metal. Material behavior model was developed, based on microstructural features of the near weld-line. Without the flux, grain enlargement occurred near the surface, while with flux, it occurred under the weld, which can be attributed to recrystallization and a reversed Marangoni convection.
