TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the pre-existing dislocation network, which maintains its configuration during the entire plastic deformation, is an ideal modulator that is able to slow down but not entirely block the dislocation motion.

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....

  • ...The HAZ in carbon steel weldments can be divided into three distinct subregions: (i) upper critical HAZ (UCHAZ): This region experiences peak temperatures above Ac3 transforming BM microstructure into austenite.(90) Depending on the peak temperature the supercritical HAZ can be divided to the following zones: coarse grained HAZ (CGHAZ) and fine grained HAZ....

  • ...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 results show that the aluminide compounds were stable, the coatings that solidified more slowly having the highest hardness after temperature exposure and potentially being suitable for use in high-temperature abrasion environments.
Abstract: Surface tailoring with plasma transferred arc (PTA) hardfacing involves the deposition of powder mixtures to produce coatings with an almost unlimited chemical composition. PTA hardfacing is particularly important for processing low weldability alloys, such as those for high-temperature applications, of which NiCrAlC is an example. This study analyzed NiCrAlC coatings processed by PTA using a mixture of elemental powders. Deposition on AISI316L plates was carried out with currents of 100 A and 130 A to induce variations in the chemical composition of the coatings, which were also subjected to isothermal exposure at temperatures of up to 1000 °C for up to 72 hours in an air furnace. The results show that the aluminide compounds were stable, the coatings that solidified more slowly having the highest hardness after temperature exposure and potentially being suitable for use in high-temperature abrasion environments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison and evaluation of different zones of the weldments have been carried out to decide an appropriate combination of welding process and filler material by virtue of microstructural evolution, micro-hardness studies, tensile strength and fractographic analysis.
Abstract: Comparative studies have been performed to decide an appropriate combination of welding process and filler material by virtue of microstructural evolution, micro-hardness studies, tensile strength and fractographic analysis. Manual arc welding and tungsten inert gas welding processes are used along with different filler materials to manufacture T91/T22 welded joints. Studies with the purpose of comparison and evaluation of different zones of the weldments have been carried out. The highest value of micro-hardness observed on the T91 HAZ of the weldments may be attributed to martensitic structure of the region. The fracture morphology of both the weldments obtained from T22 BM has revealed the ductile fracture. Comparatively higher tensile strength (578 MPa) of T91/T22, GTAW combination is noticed by virtue of lower heat input. The better performance of T91/T22, GTAW weldment can be quoted on the basis of better joint integrity, tensile strength and ductility (26.4%).

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction method has been used to analyze the residual stress distribution in weld region of an X70 pipeline steel before and after heat treatment as discussed by the authors, and the effect of heat treatments on the level and the distribution of residual stresses were investigated.
Abstract: X-ray diffraction method has been used to analyze the residual stress distribution in weld region of an X70 pipeline steel before and after heat treatment. The welding process has been realized by industrial arc welding with circular weld seams. The effect of heat treatments on the level and the distribution of residual stresses were investigated. Stress distribution was characterized by relative high compressive stresses in weld seam just after welding. However, residual stress relaxation phenomenon was observed in weld region after heat treatments due to microstructure restoration and recrystalization. Optical microscope observation and Vickers hardness measurements were also realized as complementary microstructure characterization techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of explosive charges as a method of reducing the residual stresses in the heated zone of welded joints was studied, and a comparative analysis was made of two geometries of the explosive charge applied on welded joint, linear and sinusoidal.
Abstract: In this paper, the effect of explosive charges as a method of reducing the residual stresses in the heated zone of welded joints was studied. A comparative analysis was made of two geometries of the explosive charge applied on welded joints, linear and sinusoidal. The comparative results obtained before and after the explosive treatment demonstrate its effectiveness through the reduction of the residual stresses. Residual stress reduction ranged in the order of 50 and 60%, confirming that explosive treatment offers a viable solution for extending the life of the welded joints.
