Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fusion welding methods have traditionally been, and are today, normally used in the manufacture of automotive structures. Recent augmented procedure of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) in automotive designs posed a desire to evaluate the application of fusion welding processes relative to the joining of AHSS. New developments in advanced high strength steels (AHSS) have helped reduce weight, improve fuel efficiency, and increase the crashworthiness of vehicles through enhanced mechanical properties. This has accelerated the integration of AHSS into the automotive architecture and increased demands to understand the effects of RSW. As a result, there has been a recent focus on the weldability of these steels.Welding and Joining of Advanced High Strength Steels illustrates and reviews the range of welding and other joining technologies for Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) and how they can be best utilized to get the most of the potential of AHSS. It covers detailed methods and discussions on how welding can change the microstructure in the heat affected area, fabricating either extreme hardening or softening, and how these changes generate potential weaknesses that can lead to failure. To understand the effects of microstructure on the mechanical performance of welds, it is important to recognize microstructural differences at the various weld regions. These include the base metal (BM), heat affected zone (HAZ) and fusion zone (FZ). The FZ is created by heating above the melting point, while the surrounding HAZ material itself consists of several regions which experience thermal cycles with progressively decreasing peak temperature from the fusion boundary.This book will be of valued for students and practitioners requiring information on the welding and joining of advanced high strength steels. Researchers and engineers within the steel and automotive industries will find it informative.
Download or read book Effect of Surface Condition on Resistance Spot Welding of Advanced High Strength Steel written by Xu Han and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced high strength automotive sheet steel (AHSS) is used in body-in-white design to reduce vehicle weight while maintaining high crashworthiness. Surface coatings applied to AHSS to protect it from oxidation and decarburization during its processing and life cycle. Due to the characteristics of AHSS, including alloying content and thermal process requirements, a variation of final surface conditions is possible. The resistance welding process is affected by surface changes as it alters the electrical contact resistance. As a result, a change in resistance spot welding process window occurs. Without proper attention, this variation in the operation window could reduce the joint strength and results in an unpredictable failure by having an undersized nugget. In this study, two surface-related phenomena, internal oxidation, and zinc diffusion, were investigated to characterize their impact on resistance spot welding. Additionally, a heat input based electrical dynamic resistance approach was proposed to determine appropriate welding current given variations in the Zn diffusion layer resulting from heat treating during this hot stamping process for PHS steels. Promotion of internal oxidation is used in Zn galvanizing line to improve the wettability of the steel surface to the Zn pool via the enhancement of the reactive wetting. The presence of these internal oxides has shown to shift the weld lobe to higher currents, increasing the time required to generate an acceptable weld. Study of weld development showed that surface melting is responsible for this shift in the weld process window. The surface melting created a liquid contact surface between the faying surface, which reduced the electric contact resistance and heat generation at the weld faying surface. A smaller nugget was formed due to the reduction of heating. To compensate for this reduced heat generation, a higher welding current was required when RSW of internally oxidized samples. Zinc diffusion from the galvannealed coating to the steel substrate occurs when a galvannealed steel was exposed to elevated temperature during heat treatment in the press-hardening process. This formed a Fe-Zn diffusion layer. The thickness and composition of the diffusion layer were found to be dependent on heat-treatment conditions. With an increase in heat-treatment time, the electrical resistance of the steel sheet was observed to increase as well. With higher electrical resistance, less welding current was needed to weld the material. While a change in nugget size occurred when welding steels made using different heat-treatment conditions with constant welding parameters, the mechanical lap shear strength was not impacted. Martensite tempering in the heat-affected region was more severe in samples with a larger diameter weld nugget, which decreased the required stress for failure to occur, counter-acting the increase in strength gained from the larger nugget size. This work has shown that with a heat-treatment time ranging between 4 to 10 minutes, a robust resistance welding schedule can be determined to generate a mechanically sound weld. Dynamic electrical resistance has been used to monitor the weld quality. Heat input analysis was shown to reflect the weld development as it takes into account the full weld cycle. Heat input has shown to have a linear correlation with nugget size. Undersized nugget can be successfully detected and corrected by changing the welding current based on the heat input value calculated from dynamic resistance measurement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The application of friction stir spot welding (FSSW) for joining advanced high strength steel (AHSS) offers improvements in automobile fuel economy and crashworthiness. FSSW is a solid-state process and therefore bypasses liquid phases that form during conventional resistance spot welding. This process eliminates detrimental solidification weld defects such as cracking and debonding. A hybrid hi-material FSSW tool comprised of cobalt-cemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co) was bonded to a tungsten-nickel-iron heavy alloy (WHA). A unique sinterbonding process was used to bond the two materials. Sinterbonding WC-Co powder to WHA, using hot pressing to apply pressure, resulted in an ideal consolidated interface. Thermodynamic analyses showed cobalt-rich eta-phase carbides are favored to form at the interface due to a reduction in carbon activity. The mechanical performance of FSSW welds on various AHSS was evaluated. For constant FSSW parameters, martensitic AHSS (M190) did not result in higher lap shear strengths (LSS) compared to dual phase AHSS (DP 590) which has less than half the tensile strength M190. The results suggest that higher strength materials are more resistant to material flow under the tool during welding, which results in smaller bonded regions and LSS. The formation of a strength-reducing soft ferrite layer originating from the sheet faying surfaces was investigated for a martensitic AHSS. A series of welds with varying process times (i.e., varying total energy input) was performed to investigate welding parameter effects on the ferritic layer formation. For the conditions explored, the extent of ferrite formation was dependent on oxygen availability"--Abstract, leaf iv.
