Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many new, or relatively new, welding processes such as friction stir welding, resistance spot welding and laser welding are being increasingly adopted to replace or improve on traditional welding techniques. Before advanced welding techniques are employed, their potential failure mechanisms should be well understood and their suitability for welding particular metals and alloys in different situations should be assessed. Failure mechanisms of advanced welding processes provides a critical analysis of advanced welding techniques and their potential failure mechanisms. The book contains chapters on the following topics: Mechanics modelling of spot welds under general loading conditions and applications to fatigue life predictions, Resistance spot weld failure mode and weld performance for aluminium alloys, dual phase steels and TRIP steels, Fatigue behaviour of spot welded joints in steel sheets, Non-destructive evaluation of spot weld quality, Solid state joining - fundamentals of friction stir welding, Failure mechanisms in friction stir welds, Microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of laser weld bonding of magnesium alloy to aluminium alloy, Fatigue in laser welds, Weld metal ductility and its influence on formability of tailor welded blanks, Joining of lightweight materials using reactive nanofoils, and Fatigue life prediction and improvements for MIG welded advanced high strength steel weldments.

Download or read book Resistance and Ultrasonic Spot Welding of Light weight Metals written by Ying Lu (Ph. D. in welding engineering) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-materials vehicle structures, employing light-weight metals such as advanced high strength steels (AHSS), aluminum alloys, can satisfy the ever-increasing requirement of light-weighting and fuel efficiency, as well as maintaining or improving the crash resistance of vehicles. The present research provides a fundamental understanding of the process-microstructure-mechanical properties of resistance and ultrasonic spot welding of light-weight metals. The dissertation consists of three main parts: (1) study of the relationship of process-microstructure-mechanical properties for resistance spot welded two sheets (2T) and complex stack-ups of ultra-high strength grade of AHSS, (2) development of a novel technique, namely Ultrasonic Plus Resistance Spot Welding, for dissimilar metal joining of Al to steel, and (3) investigation of the bonding mechanism of USW of Al by in-situ relative vibration measurement. In the first part, softening in subcritical heat affected zone of resistance spot welded hot-stamped boron steels is investigated by weld microstructure characterization and tempering kinetics of martensite. The local constitutive behavior of the potential failure locations is extracted and incorporated into performance model to investigate its effect on the accuracy of deformation and failure prediction. A major challenge for RSW of complex stack-ups with large thickness ratio is the limited nugget penetration into the thin sheet at the outside of the stack-up. The effect of welding current, electrode force, electrode material/size on nugget formation and the possible ways to improve nugget penetration into the thin sheet are investigated for 3T and 4T stack-ups of AHSS. The second part of the dissertation is focused on the development of a new dissimilar metal joining method, namely ultrasonic plus resistance spot welding (abbreviated as U+RSW) for Al/Steel. The bonding mechanisms have been investigated through numerical simulation to validate the concept. The third and last part of the dissertation is to understand the bonding mechanism in USW. Particularly, the relative motion of the sonotrode, aluminum specimens, and anvil in USW is investigated using an in-situ velocity measurement technique, Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV). The relative motion analysis is correlated to destructive testing results, including lap-shear tensile testing and weld microstructure characterization, to understand and quantify bond formation during USW. In summary, the present research studies the process-microstructure-property relationships of resistance spot welding of AHSS, dissimilar metal welding of Al to steel, and ultrasonic spot welding of Al. An improved fundamental understanding is developed for (1) heat conduction, electric current flow, mechanical stress and deformation, and nugget formation in 2T and complex stack-ups of resistance spot welded ultra-high strength steel, (2) tempering kinetics of martensite and SCHAZ softening, (3) microstructure-specific constitutive behaviors, (4) weldability, intermetallics, and strength of dissimilar metal joint between Al and steel in U+RSW, and (5) bonding mechanism in USW. Such new knowledge is essential to ensure sound multi-materials vehicle structures employing various light-weight metals to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for fuel efficiency and crash resistance.

Book excerpt: Drawing on state-of-the-art research results, Resistance Welding: Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition systematically presents fundamental aspects of important processes in resistance welding and discusses their implications on real-world welding applications. This updated edition describes progress made in resistance welding research and practice since the publication of the first edition. New to the Second Edition: Significant addition of the metallurgical aspects of materials involved in resistance welding, such as steels, aluminum and magnesium alloys, zinc, and copper Electric current waveforms commonly used in resistance welding, including single-phase AC, single-phase DC, three-phase DC, and MFDC Magnesium welding in terms of cracking and expulsion The effect of individual welding parameters 2-D and 3-D lobe diagrams New materials for the ultrasonic evaluation of welds, including A-scan, B-scan, and in-line A-scan The book begins with chapters on the metallurgical processes in resistance spot welding, the basics of welding schedule selection, and cracking in the nugget and heat-affected zone of alloys. The next several chapters discuss commonly conducted mechanical tests, the monitoring and control of a welding process, and the destructive and nondestructive evaluation of weld quality. The authors then analyze the mechanisms of expulsion—a process largely responsible for defect formation and other unwanted features—and explore an often overlooked topic in resistance welding-related research: the influence of mechanical aspects of welding machines. The final chapters explain how to numerically simulate a resistance welding process and apply statistical design and analysis approaches to welding research. To obtain a broad understanding of this area, readers previously had to scour large quantities of research on resistance welding and essential related subjects, such as statistical analysis. This book collects the necessary information in one source for students, researchers, and practitioners in the sheet metal industry. It thoroughly reviews state-of-the-art results in resistance welding research and gives you a solid foundation for solving practical problems in a scientific and systematic manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welding is a complex process, is increasingly automated, and operates at higher speeds in more difficult environments. Defects also need to be detected as they arise to ensure efficient, high-quality production. All these needs have led to a growing interest in the use of sensors to provide accurate, robust, real-time monitoring where this cannot be achieved by more traditional testing and inspection techniques. This important book reviews the range of monitoring techniques available and their applications. After an introductory chapter, the first part of the book reviews the range of sensor technologies in welding, from arc and optical sensors to infrared and ultrasonic techniques. Part two discusses the monitoring of particular aspects of welding such as weld seams and profiles, the analysis of weld penetration and weld pool surface, as well as monitoring of resistance and laser welding. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Real-time weld process monitoring is a valuable reference to all those concerned with improving the quality of welding and welded components.
