TL;DR: In this article, a multi-pass submerged arc welding was performed on the HSLA steels using multi-microalloyed electrodes in the present work, and three different heat input processes were employed to investigate the microstructure evolution and corresponding mechanical properties of weldments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated energy utilisation during spot welding using a combination of calorimetry, peak temperature measurement and plunge testing, and found that only a small percentage of the energy generated during the friction stir spot welding operation is required for stir zone formation.
Abstract: Energy utilisation during spot welding is investigated using a combination of calorimetry, peak temperature measurement and plunge testing. When a steel tool, clamp and anvil support is used, only 12·6% of the energy generated during the spot welding is transferred into the welded Al 6111 sheets. In contrast, when a mica clamp and anvil support are used, 50% of the energy generated during spot welding transfers into the welded Al 6111 sheets. Only a small percentage of the energy generated during the friction stir spot welding operation is required for stir zone formation. During plunge testing of 6·3 mm thick Al 6061-T6 material, less than 4·03% of the energy which is generated during friction stir spot welding is required for stir zone formation. The remainder of the energy generated dissipates into the tool assembly, clamp, anvil support and the aluminium sheets which are being welded. The rotating pin produces around 70% of the energy generated during spot welding of 6·3 mm thick Al-6061 mater...

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructural properties, tensile properties and low-cycle fatigue properties of a dual-phase steel (DP780) were investigated following its joining by three methods: laser welding, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, and metal active gas (MAG) welding.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the near-field ultrasonic welding of amorphous (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and polystyrene) and semicrystalline (polyethylene and polypropylene) polymers.
Abstract: Ultrasonic welding is one of the most popular techniques for joining thermoplastics because it is fast, economical, and easily automated. In near-field ultrasonic welding, the distance between the horn and the joint interface is 6 mm or less. This study investigated the near-field ultrasonic welding of amorphous (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and polystyrene) and semicrystalline (polyethylene and polypropylene) polymers. High frequency ultrasonic wave propagation and attenuation measurements were made in order to estimate the dynamic mechanical moduli of the polymers. The estimated moduli were entered into a lumped parameter model in order to predict heating rates and energy dissipation. Experimental results showed that variations in the welding pressure had little effect on energy dissipation or joint strength; Increasing the amplitude of vibration increased the energy dissipation and the weld strength. For the semicrystalline polymers, increasing the weld time improved strength up to weld times greater than 1.5 s, where strength leveled off. For the amorphous polymers, the weld strength increased with Increasing weld time up to times of 0.8 s; for longer weld times, the power required was too high, causing overloading of the welder. Monitoring of the energy dissipation and static displacement or collapse provided valuable information on weld quality.
