Direct bonding of copper and porous LaCrO₃ without an extra filler interlayer was successfully completed using local and fast Cu‐infiltration through laser cladding. This significantly reduced the susceptibility of the ceramic to cracking. A high‐speed camera investigation into the wetting and infiltration behavior of a Cu‐melt into LaCrO₃ with a porosity of ~63 vol% was performed. By adjusting the focal distance with a constant laser power of 300 W, the Cu‐melt was rapidly infiltrated into the ceramic preform in 10 seconds. This was completed under atmospheric air conditions, without added inert gas. The joining process developed can be used to fabricate ceramic/metal joints with targeted (micro‐) structure properties by adjusting the infiltrated melt and the infiltration depth, which would be suitable for many applications, such as multifunctional devices, solid oxide fuel cells or heating elements.
The properties of sandwiches with aluminum foam and the special features of their use in lightweight welded structures are determined. The weldability of such sandwiches in foamed and non-foamed conditions is analyzed under friction stir welding, laser beam welding and short arc welding in protective gas. The process and mechanical properties of the welds are studied. The results are generalized in a catalog that may be useful for materials scientists and designers.
Knowledge of the properties of dissimilar welds is of great significance for the development of multi-material lightweight structures. In this study, stainless steel (1.4301) and aluminum alloy (6082-T6) sheets were welded in overlap configuration in keyhole mode. The resulting weld metals were investigated with respect to their mechanical properties. Several samples were cut out of different locations along the welds and their cross-sections were subjected to indentation testing and energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) analysis. Young's modulus E, yield stress σy, and strain hardening exponent n, were determined by means of reverse analysis of the indentation load (P) – depth (h) curves, allowing construction of true stress – true strain relations. An essential increase in yield stress in comparison to the one of the base alloys was observed inside the weld metal. In contrary, Young's modulus and strain hardening exponent of the welds were almost identical to corresponding values of the base steel metal. Due to the sensitivity of yield stress to the aluminum content, slight variations of the welding parameters lead to significant changes in elastic-plastic behavior of the weld metal.
Numerical models for thermo-mechanical simulation of the welding
residual stresses in laser beam and multi-pass arc welded joints are developed. The models describe the resulting microstructure as a function of the peak temperature, austenization time, cooling time and take into account the microstructure formed after
single or multiple thermal cycles. The results of simulations are validated by neutron diffraction experiments performed on FSD diffractometer at the IBR-2 pulsed reactor in FLNP JINR (Dubna, Russia). The elaborated numerical models are in good agreement
with obtained neutron diffraction data, which enable to study the influence of different conditions and process parameters on the distribution of residual welding stresses.
