The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the high welding speed on the mechanical properties and their relations to microstructural characteristics of butt friction stir welded joints with the use of 6082-T6 aluminum alloy. The aluminum sheets of 2.0 mm thick were friction stir welded at low (conventional FSW) and high welding speeds (HSFSW) of 200 and 2500 mm/min, respectively. The grain size in the nugget zone (NZ) was decreased; the width of the softened region was narrowed down as well as the lowest microhardness value located in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) was enhanced by HSFSW. The increasing welding speed resulted in the higher ultimate tensile strength and lower elongation, but it had a slight influence on the yield strength. The differences in mechanical properties were explained by analysis of microstructural changes and tensile fracture surfaces of the welded joints, supported by the results of the numerical simulation of the temperature distribution and material flow. The fracture of the conventional FSW joint occurred in the HAZ, the weakest weld region, while all HSFSW joints raptured in the NZ. This demonstrated that both structural characteristics and microhardness distribution influenced the actual fracture locations.
The series of impulse friction stir welding (IFSW) experiments for aluminum alloy 6082-T6 butt joints was performed to obtain micrographs, tensile and hardness test samples and to receive the validation data for a numerical model of the process. Impulse force and frequency were varied to determine the effect of individual process parameters on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the welded butt joints. A three-dimensional model was established to simulate temperature distribution, heat generation and contact state between the tool and the workpiece during IFSW. Based on the numerical simulation, the influence of the impulses on heat input, maximum weld temperatures and contact state was found. The combination of impulse force and frequency effected the grain refinement. The influence of impulses on the elongation and hardness of the welded joints during IFSW were determined.
Die lichtbogenbasierte additive Fertigung (WAAM) ist ein vielversprechendes Werkzeug, um die Ersatzteilbereitstellung von schwer verfügbaren oder aufwendig herstellbaren Einzelkomponenten in kürzester Zeit zu gewährleisten. Die Straffung innerbetrieblicher Abläufe sowie die Minimierung von Herstellungs- und Lagerkosten sind eine direkte Folge. Vor dem Einsatz im Betrieb muss sichergestellt werden, dass die Bauteile fehlerfrei additiv herstellbar sind und die mechanischen Eigenschaften den Anforderungen konventionell gefertigter Werkstücke entsprechen. Ein solcher Nachweis konnte am Beispiel eines additiv hergestellten Zwischenstücks für die Bergbauausrüstung mit einer abschließenden Charakterisierung der Werkstoffeigenschaften erfolgreich geführt werden. Das Zwischenstück mit einem Gewicht von ca. 31 kg zur Verbindung von geometrisch unterschiedlichen Profilen wurde ausgehend von einer Grundplatte aus S355-J2+N beidseitig additiv mit einem Massivdraht G3Si1 aufgebaut. Die Ermittlung geeigneter Parameter, Schweißfolgen und Zwischenlagentemperaturen erfolgte experimentell mit begleitenden metallografischen Untersuchungen. Nach erfolgreicher Fertigung wurden die mechanischen Eigenschaften des Zwischenstücks bestimmt sowie die Festigkeit und Zähigkeit mit den geforderten Werkstoffkennwerten des bisher eingesetzten konventionellen Konstruktionsmaterials verglichen.
Die Schweißposition beeinflusst erheblich die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Schweißnaht, insbesondere die Kerbschlagzähigkeit. Dies zeigt ein umfassender Vergleich der mechanischen Eigenschaften von Schweißgütern, die in der Steigposition (PF) und Wannenlage (PA) ausgeführt wurden. Schweißgüter von Kohlenstoff-Mangan-Stählen weisen in der PF-Position eine reduzierte Kerbschlagarbeit im Vergleich zur PA-Position auf. Dagegen ist bei austenitischen und Duplexstählen der Einfluss der Schweißposition auf die Kerbschlagarbeit genau entgegengesetzt. Der Vortrag fasst den Einfluss der Schweißpositionen auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften zusammen und liefert eine Erklärung für die gegensätzlichen Auswirkungen auf die Kerbschlagzähigkeit der Schweißgüter. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf hochlegierten Fülldrähten mit einer schnell erstarrenden Schlacke. Die Schlackeneigenschaften, Schweißgutmikrostruktur, Delta-Ferrit-Gehalte für Schweißgüter vom Typ Duplexstahl (2209) und von austenitischen Schweißgütern (308L) sowie die Auswirkungen der Schweißposition auf die Richtung des Schweißkornwachstums werden erläutert. Zum Vergleich werden Kohlenstoff-Mangan-Rutil-Fülldrähte mit schnell erstarrender Schlacke herangezogen.
The temperature influence on the microstructure evolution and microhardness of the agehardenable aluminium alloy 6082 T6 during friction stir welding was defined. In order to achieve this aim, the thermocycles calculated using the developed 3D Finite Element Model were physically simulated on the Gleeble-3800 in the points which located in the different zones of the weld. The microstructure in the chosen points after Gleeble testing was investigated as well as the microhardness was measured. The results were consequently compared with the relevant results obtained after friction stir welding. It was shown that the microstructure and microhardness profile are influenced not only by temperature but by deformation. The increase in hardness in different zones after FSW compared to Gleeble testing can be explained by the grain refinement in the nugget zone as well as the hardening precipitate distribution along the weld which can occur more rapidly due to the deformation influence.
Amethod for assessing the effect of the temperature of friction stir welding on the microstructure and mechanical properties of welded joints of aluminum alloy D16AT is suggested. The temperature cycles in different zones of a welded joint are determined by mathematical simulation. The computed temperature cycles are implemented in a Gleeble-3800 system. It is shown that the welding temperature affects little the evolution of the microstructure in different zones of the welded joints of alloy D16AT.

In the current paper, the correlation between the physical size of additively built wire arc specimens and their structure and properties is studied. For the purpose of this work, two oval shaped specimens of different lengths were manufactured under the same technological conditions. The specimens have a length of 200 mm and 400 mm and will be referred to as L200 and L400. The microstructure of the samples was studied using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microhardness, yield strength (YS), and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) were determined and their correlation with the technological conditions of specimen build-up was clarified. The results of the carried out experiments indicated that the crystallographic structure of both specimens is similar. The scanning electron microscopy images show a higher concentration of irregularly shaped micro-pores formed near the edge of the αAl grains in the structure of the L400 specimen compared to the L200 one. An increase in the size of the αAl solid solution grains in the case of the L200 specimen towards its top section was noticed using optical microscopy. A slightly lower magnitude change was noticed concerning the L400 specimen. The increase in the size of the aluminum crystals was determined to be the increasing interpass temperature. Due to the much smaller thermal dissipation capacity of the smaller specimen, the interpass temperature of the same increased faster compared to the larger specimen. All of the above-mentioned factors led to a decrease in the microhardness of the specimens at higher stages of build-up. Since the specimens were deposited using similar layer deposition conditions, the resultant YS and UTS data are also highly comparable.
The mass production of metallic components requires high agility in the working process conditioned by the necessity of building details of different shapes and sizes. Changing the size of the components theoretically influences the thermal dissipation capability of the same, which could lead to a change in their structure and mechanical properties. This is particularly important when aluminum alloys are concerned. For this reason, two Al5356 single-track specimens were built using the same technological conditions of layer deposition by varying only their geometrical size. In all cases, the specimens were wire and arc additively manufactured (WAAM) using a process based on gas metal arc welding (GMAW) in the cold arc pulse mode (CAP). The structure of both specimens was studied and defects along their surfaces were detected in the form of micro-pores and micro-cracks. A high concentration of undissolved Mg particles was also detected, along with some standalone Si particles. Uniformity in the build-up process was achieved, which led to the formation of nearly identical structures in the specimens. Subsequently, the resultant mechanical properties were also highly comparable. This indicates that the geometry-related variation in thermal conditions has an insignificant influence on the component’s structure and properties.
