The paper presents a numerical and experimental approach for the quantification of the thermo-mechanical properties in multi-pass weld’s heat affected zone (HAZ) of low alloy steel “S355J2+N”. First, the characteristic temperature cycles for multi-pass welds were identified by FE temperature field simulations of welding. Based on the identified temperature cycles, the microstructure in the HAZ has been physically simulated with the simulation and testing system Gleeble 3500 to investigate the influence of multi thermal exposure on the thermo-mechanical properties. Thus, the thermo-mechanical material properties including thermal strain and temperature dependent stress strain behaviour as function of peak temperatures and cooling rates have been determined. These material properties were used to calibrate a developed model for numerical prediction of the material properties of multi-pass weld HAZ.
Thermal shock behavior of ceramics plays a decisive role in their broad industrial applications. For
enhanced understanding of damage and failure mechanism under thermal shock loading, in the present
work, a combination of experimental testing and numerical simulation methods has been used. The
thermal shock behavior of the alumina (99.7%) disk samples has been investigated by using a plasma
test stand: the bottom of the ceramic disks were locally heated in the center by plasma beam; during the
heat treatment the temperature distribution at the top of the sample was recorded with a thermographic
system. To characterize the thermal shock resistance, a thermomechanical simulation was subsequently
carried out. It calculates the temperature and stress distribution within the ceramic disks. The
calculated critical thermal tension stresses are reported, which led to the failure of the ceramic disks
under thermal shock loading. The effect of the sample thickness on the temperature and stress
distribution is presented. Compared with the experimental results the simulated results show excellent
agreement. As conclusion, it is possible to determine the thermal shock behavior of ceramic materials by
the combination of experimental testing and numerical simulation.
Simulation of Weld Shape, Microstructure, Distortion and Residual Stresses for Laser Beam Welding
(2002)
The purpose of this study is to characterise the corrosion behaviour of zinc-coated sheet metals after a structuring process using the salt spray test. The investigated structured material is manufactured by hydroforming and has a periodic hexagonal geometry. The corrosion behaviour has been evaluated by estimating the development of the corrosion area and penetration depth. The results of the investigation show that the corrosion area is larger on the smooth sheet than on the structured sheet. The difference between the structured and smooth sheets is negligible with increasing exposure time. Furthermore, the reasons for the different corrosion behaviours are discussed.
Erweiterung der numerischen Schweißsimulation zur Untersuchung metallkundlicher Fragestellungen

Cold cracks in welds are the result of the formation of brittle microstructure as martensite in the presence of diffusible hydrogen as well as of tensile stresses. Cold cracks occur when the combination of cold crack influence parameters (CCIP) overcomes a critical limit. In this study, critical combinations of CCIP were identified with an enhanced test procedure under welding conditions. The test is based on the physical simulation technique of heat affected zone (HAZ) and it is carried out using the test and simulation center Gleeble 3500. Thereby, laboratory special specimens are charged with hydrogen from pure hydrogen atmosphere in the initial stage of the test. Rigidly restraint specimen section is subjected to different weld temperature cycles. Through the thermal exposure, the desired microstructure of HAZ is set in the test zone of the restraint specimen section. A plastic deformation takes place owing to the prevented expansion during heating and contraction of the specimen during cooling. Consequently, compressive or tensile reactions stresses arise in the deformed zone. Cracked specimen represents a critical combination of the CCIP. The quantitative cold crack criterion separates the cold crack susceptible combinations from those non susceptible.
Calculation of thermal processes in welding thick plates with moving axisymmetric heat sources
(2016)
The work deals with the elastic-plastic thermo-mechanical deformation process after spot heating of large thin plates. It promotes a new theoretical model of the process. The main target is to clarify the kinetics of the plastic strain formation during thermal straightening and to explore the main interactions. For this purpose, a simplified mechanical problem is formulated and applied. As a result, definite thermo-mechanical relations between temperature, initial strain, and accumulated plastic strain are obtained. Finally, a verification study is presented and discussed. The results contribute to extending the knowledge about the process and to establishing a theoretical background for development of applied analytical or analytical-numerical approaches for practical use in the designing and planning phases in welding production. An application to a particular case is described in an accompanying paper (part 2).
In this study, a three-dimensional thermal conduction model based on the finite element analysis was established to predict a heat distribution during laser welding in overlap configuration of austenitic stainless steel 1.4301 and hardenable aluminum alloy 6016. A hybrid model based on two expanded curve-rotated volumetric heat sources is suggested to capture the complex weld geometry. Since thermal flow in the overlap area is a crucial part of the model, an analytic calculation of a thermal contact conductance between the plates and its subsequent implementation in the FE model through a superposition of two contact surfaces are described in details in this paper. Full thermal cycles, weld shapes, and thus mixing grades were successfully predicted by means of the developed model for different parameter combinations.
An influence of the arc welding and the laser welding on fatigue properties and destruction mechanisms of aluminum foam sandwich has been studied. It was found that specimens made by the arc welding had the best fatigue strength. Comparative results of four point bending fatigue tests of the non-welded specimens such as butt welded joints made by different welding methods are presented.

In this study, the residual stresses distribution induced by multi-pass arc welding of the steel S355J2+N are investigated experimentally and numerically. An extended approach is used for the simulations, which considers the change of the local microstructure properties due to multiple reheating. Experimental material data obtained from physical welding simulations with Gleeble® are used for the model calibration. The experimental stress study is performed using a neutron diffraction method on a fourier stress diffractometer. Numerical analysis of the welding stresses formation in the weldment is performed and compared to the experimental study. The results explain the influence of the welding thermal history on the resulting local thermo-mechanical properties in the heat-affected zone and, thus, on the residual stress distribution. The consideration of the local microstructure properties in the welding simulation leads to a significant increase in accuracy of the numerical results. The major influence factor on the residual stress formation is the change in the interpass microstructure yield strength. When a root pass with short cooling times is subjected to re-austenitisation in the fine-grained zone, the yield strength increases in this area and affects consequently the residual stress distribution. The influence of the reheating is detectable in the depth of the weldment, but it is less significant for the residual stress formation near the surface of the welded joint.
An analytical model based on a theoretical model established in the previous work (part 1) is developed. The analytical model considers the particular case of an instantaneous high-density heat source acting on a thin pre-stressed plate. It calculates the plastic strain and the area of the zone of plastic deformation. A theoretical study is performed in order to quantify the major factors that influence the plastic strain formation. Furthermore, the work presents a calculation procedure for distortion analysis of lar ge and complex structures, intended to be used for solving industrial tasks. The calculation procedure consists of a combination of the analytical solution and an elastic finite element analysis with the aid of the inherent strain approach. Various aspects of its application are also discussed. The calculation procedure is finally explained using a simple example. Its reliability and practicability are demonstrated through verification and validation studies. The work is dedicated to the thermal straightening of thin-walled welded structures; however, it can also be related to other processes.
Welded joints of aluminum alloy 6082-T6 formed by the method of pulse friction stir welding are studied. The effect of the power and frequency of the pulses on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joints is determined. Application of an additional pulse during the welding affects the surface quality and the shape of the weld, the distribution of the oxide layer and of particles of the hardening phase, and the grain size in the zone of dynamic recrystallization.
Die Festigkeitsberechnung von Strukturen, zum Beispiel Platten oder Schalen, mittels der Finite-Elemente-Methode gehört schon seit längerem zum Stand der Technik. Berücksichtigt werden bei der Berechnung sowohl geometrische Nichtlinearitäten als auch das nichtlineare Verhalten des Werkstoffs. Die geometrischen und strukturellen Imperfektionen werden bei der Ermittlung der Festigkeit zumeist in ausschließlich geometrischen Imperfektionen, wie bspw. Kombinationen aus Fertigungstoleranzen und den Ergebnissen von Beulanalysen zusammengefasst. Zur Rechtfertigung dieser Vorgehensweise werden die geometrischen Imperfektionen gemäß DIN EN 1993-1-5 erhöht. In einem Kommentar zur selben Norm findet
sich ebenfalls eine Empfehlung zur Berücksichtigung von Schweißimperfektionen in Form von vereinfachten Längseigenspannungsverläufen. Diese werden in Abhängigkeit der
Fließgrenzspannung des Werkstoffs bei Raumtemperatur und der Dicken der Fügepartner angenommen. Sowohl die Annahme rein geometrischer Imperfektionen als auch die Berücksichtigung vereinfachter Eigenspannungszustände, sind mit Sicherheitszuschlägen
behaftet. Durch eine realitätsnähere Berücksichtigung von strukturellen und geometrischen Imperfektionen, hervorgerufen durch Schweißprozesse, kann die tatsächliche Tragfähigkeit einer Struktur wesentlich exakter bestimmt werden. Inhalt dieses Artikels ist die Anwendung eines analytisch-numerischen Hybridmodells zur
Schweißimperfektionsberechnung an einer doppelt versteiften Platte und einer anschließenden Festigkeitsanalyse. Eingangs wird das analytische Modell vorgestellt und auf die grundlegenden
physikalischen Zusammenhänge eingegangen. Es folgt die Erläuterung des Kopplungsalgorithmus zwischen analytischem Modell und der numerischen Berechnung. Angewendet an der doppelt versteiften Platte, wird ein realitätsnaher geometrischer und
struktureller Imperfektionszustand berechnet. Eine anschließende Traglastanalyse gibt Aufschluss über das Verformungsverhalten unter achsialer Krafteinwirkung. Zur Bewertung der Ergebnisse wird ein Modell gleicher geometrischer Abmessungen und Werkstoffkennwerte aus
der Literatur herangezogen. Berechnet wurden die ersten 6 Eigenformen mittels analytischer und numerischer Modelle sowie die Last-Verformungskurven unter der Annahme unterschiedlicher geometrischer Imperfektionen. Um die Vergleichbarkeit der Ergebnisse zu sichern, wird eingangs die Lagerung des Modells sowie der Kraftangriffspunkt in Längsrichtung invers, durch den Vergleich der ersten 6 Beulformen sowie der Last-Verformungskurven dreier
Imperfektionen, bestimmt. Darauf aufbauen wird die Last-Verformungskurve für einen überlagerten Imperfektionszustand berechnet, wobei die geometrischen Imperfektionen aus den
Fertigungstoleranzen abgeleitet und die strukturellen idealisiert, gemäß DIN EN 1993-1-5, gewählt werden. Abschließend werden alle Last-Verformungskurven einander gegenübergestellt.
Anhand des Vergleichs kann quantifiziert werden, wie konservativ die einzelnen angenommenen Imperfektionen sind und wie sich der Verformungsverlauf darstellt, berechnet man diesen unter
Verwendung realitätsnaher geometrischer und struktureller Imperfektionen.

The effect of the power and frequency of the pulses on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joints is determined. Application of an additional pulse during the welding affects the surface quality and the shape of the weld, the distribution of the oxide layer and of particles of the hardening phase, and the grain size in the zone of dynamic recrystallization.
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.
The properties of the welded joints of 6082-T6 alloy produced by friction stir welding (FSW) and laser welding(LW) were studied. The maximum temperature and microhardness fields in the friction stir-welded joints were shown to be asymmetrical. The concentrated energy input during laser welding yields a narrow heat-affected zone (HAZ) with sharp changes in mechanical properties. The strength of the FSW joint constitutes 72% and that of the LWjoint—67% of the base metal strength. In case of LW, the minimum hardness of the joint corresponds to the metal of the welded joint, while in case of FSW, it corresponds to the heat-affected zone. At the same maximum heating temperature, the hardness of the heat-affected zone of the friction stir-welded joint is lower compared to laser welding due to substantially lower rates of heating and cooling.
Imperfektionen, die bei Traglastberechnungen Berücksichtigung finden müssen, haben ihre Ursachen in Herstellungs- und Fertigungstoleranzen oder werden durch das Schweißen und den damit zumeist einhergehenden Nachbehandlungen in den Bauteilen hervorgerufen. Durch die Wärmewirkung des Schweißens entstehen sowohl sehr große Verformungen als auch signifikante Zug und Druckspannungen. Der strukturelle und geometrische Imperfektionsgrad wird somit maßgeblich von der Anzahl und der Lage der Schweißnähte sowie den Schweißparametern bestimmt. Für die Berücksichtigung in Traglastberechnungen ist ein physikalisch fundiertes Modell erforderlich, welches die Schweißimperfektionen schnell und präzise berechnet. Das gekoppelte analytisch numerische Hybridmodell erfüllt diese Kriterien. Die mathematischen Grundlagen des analytischen Modells sowie die Kopplung mit der numerischen Finite-Elemente-Berechnung werden eingangs vorgestellt und die Anwendung zur Berechnung von Verzügen an einer Schiffsektion demonstriert. Darauffolgend wird das Hybridmodell an einer eben und einer gekrümmten versteiften Platte zur Berechnung der Schweißimperfektionen angewendet. Anschließende Traglastberechnungen sowie der Vergleich mit den Ergebnissen unter der Annahme einer geometrischen Ersatzimperfektion in Form des kritischsten Eigenwerts gibt Auskunft darüber, welches Potenzial die realitätsnahe direkte Berücksichtigung von Schweißimperfektionen birgt.
The work presents an innovative approach for simulation of welding induced distortions, which allows taking into consideration the local effects of the welding process as well as the global interactions in the structure. The approach bases on an integration of analytical and numerical calculation’s procedures in a hybrid model, realized with the aid of the inherent strain concept. The analytical procedure calculates the shrinkage strain components and area of the plastic deformed zone, caused by welding. The calculated strains are then transferred to the global finite element model in order to predict the distortions and stresses in the structure after every welding stage, as well as their final state. The consideration of welding scenarios, weld sequence, clamping conditions and the assembling stages is done by taking into account the intermediate variation of the strain state during the manufacturing steps.
The article gives the theoretical basis of the analytical model. The consideration of the essential physical relations is put into discussion. The application of the model is illustrated on complex structures. Its reliability and practicability are demonstrated by means of a validation study.
Great attention is focused nowadays on laser welding of dissimilar steel-aluminum joints in overlap configuration in key-hole mode. It was found that elastic-plastic properties of the weld metal exhibit strong difference to those of the base alloys and can be defined as a function of aluminum content in the weld metal. A developed Finite-Element simulation model allows prediction of the aluminum content as a function of welding parameters and subsequently the elastic-plastic properties of the weld metal as a function of the determined content. The main goal of the present study is to show the impact of the weld metal properties on welding distortions and residual stresses. For that purpose, a sensitivity analysis of the thermomechanical model was performed, where the distortions and residual stresses were computed as a function of welding parameters and therefore as a function of corresponding weld metal properties. The analysis showed that the influence of the weld metal is essential, and its properties should be taken into consideration in the models for better prediction accuracy.
This study presents an experimental results of residual stress states in stainless steel plate samples with size 100 x 50 x 10 mm welded using a high-power fiber laser. The technological parameters of the welding process were: laser power Q = 15 kW; laser spot size = 0.65 mm; welding speed V = 3 m/min; 4 m/min; 5 m/min, using 30 L/min of protective Ar gas. The neutron diffraction method was used to determine the residual stresses in the bulk of the material. The neutron experiments were performed on the FSD diffractometer at the IBR-2 pulsed reactor in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research - Dubna, Russian Federation. The measured residual stress distributions exhibit maxima at weld seam centers. As expected, for all specimens the residual stress is falling down in regions distant from the weld zone. Maximal residual stress value of 492 MPa was observed for sample welded with speed of V = 5 m/min.
Impulse Friction Stir Welding (IFSW) was utilized to join 6082–T6 alloy plates at various impulse frequencies. A distinctive feature of IFSW is the generation of mechanical impulses that enhances the forging action of the tool, and thereby, alters the weld microstructure. The microstructural evolution in the Stir Zone (SZ) with special focus on the strengthening precipitation behavior, and overall mechanical properties of the IFSW joints have been investigated. It was demonstrated that the strengthening β″ precipitates reprecipitated in the SZ of the IFSW joints during natural aging. In contrast, no precipitates were found in the SZ of the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) weld. Partial reversion of β″ after IFSW is supposed to occur due to more developed subgrain network and higher dislocation density introduced by impulses that accelerated precipitation kinetics. Dynamic recrystallisation was facilitated by impulses resulting in a fine, homogeneous structure. There was no significant difference between the microhardness in the SZ, tensile and yield strength of the FSW and IFSW joints. However, the application of impulses demonstrated the smoothing of the hardness reduction in the transition region at the advancing side. The shift of the fracture location from the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) by FSW to the SZ as well as higher elongation of the joints by IFSW of lower frequencies could be related to the grain refinement and the change of the grain orientation.
Während in einem konventionellen Ultraschallprüfkopf ein Kunststoffdämpfungskörper mit Kleber oder Öl an einen Piezoschwinger angekoppelt ist, werden als Hochtemperaturlösung feinporöse sintermetallische Dämpfungsmaterialien mit einer Flüssigglasankopplung eingesetzt. Um dabei das Sintermetall vor dem korrosiven Angriff der Glasschmelze zu schützten, wird am Dämpfungskörper gegenwärtig Gold- oder Platinfolie zeit- und kostenaufwendig appliziert.
In der aktuellen Arbeit wurde eine Methode zum Korrosionsschutz der sintermetallischen Oberfläche aus rostfreiem Stahl mittels Laser-Pulverauftragschweißen entwickelt. Im Laufe einer Schweißparameterstudie auf dem Substratmaterial aus massivem rostfreiem Stahl wurde die Eignung unterschiedlicher Auftragsmaterialien auf Nickel- und Kobaltbasis untersucht. Dabei wurde zunächst der Einfluss verschiedener Schweißparameter wie Laserleistung, Vorschubgeschwindigkeit und Pulvermenge auf die Auftragsqualität (Nahtform, Vermischungsgrad, Porosität) metallografisch bewertet. Anschließend wurden die aufgetragenen Schichten hinsichtlich ihrer Korrosionsbeständigkeit getestet. Der Kontakt mit einer flüssigen Glasmischung bei 500 °C hat bei keiner der beschichteten Proben sichtbare Korrosionswirkung gezeigt. Als Resultat der Schweißparameterstudie haben sich besonders die nickelbasierten
Pulver als gut geeignete Materialien für den Prozess gezeigt. Die identifizierten Schweißparameter wurden im nächsten Schritt erfolgreich an das sintermetallische Substrat angepasst.
Crystallography and Mechanical Properties of Wire Arc Additively Manufactured Al5356 Components
(2021)
In this study, we present results of the evolution of the crystallographic texture and imperfections, as well as the corresponding mechanical properties of wire and arc additively manufactured (WAAM) Al5356 specimens, studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and tensile testing, respectively. The results show that the phase composition is in the form of a face-centred cubic (fcc) crystal structure, corresponding to the base material, as well as some traces of oxide phase Al2O3. The WAAM specimen growing is accompanied by a slight change in the preferred crystallographic orientation, from (111) to (200) and a decrease in the imperfections concentration. Also, it was found that the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS), and elongation slightly decrease from the initial to the more advanced stages of growth.
Analysis of temperature field during electron beam welding of hot crack sensitive nickel base alloy
(2021)
The use of temperature-resistant nickel-based superalloys in the field of industrial gas turbines is increasing due to constantly rising operating temperatures. Among different joining methods the electron beam welding is commonly used for manufacturing of turbine components because it provides a reduced heat input. However, the highly localized beam impact causes high temperature gradients and leads to the formation of hot cracks. Welding of such material with a high brittle temperature range is challenging and needs an increasing effort of process adaption. Experiments indicate a significant improvement of hot crack susceptibility when welding outside the common welding parameter range. To understand these observations a study of the temperature field in the specimens using numerical simulations was carried out. For this purpose, a validated simulation model was used. Special attention was paid to the domain in close vicinity of the weld pool. The results illustrate the velocity of solidification isotherm as well as the temperature rates when crossing the melting point. Finally, the relations between thermal fields, crack types and distributions in the different specimens are discussed.
This work investigates heat transfer mechanism of aluminum resistance spot welding process. The main target is to determine thermal contact conductance and heat transfer coefficients for natural convection and thermal radiation at ambient air and forced convection inside the water-cooled electrodes. For this purpose, the heat transfer of hot sheets in a welding gun for aluminum alloys AA5182 and AA6014 is analyzed experimentally and numerically. The transient temperature field is measured by several thermocouples in a simplified experimental setup. Subsequent thermal-mechanical coupled finite
element simulations of the experiments were used to calibrate the heat transfer coefficients. The heat transfer coefficient for natural convection and thermal radiation to ambient air is 13 W m2 K and the heat transfer coefficient for forced convection of electrode water-cooling is 25,000 W m2 K. The results indicate that the thermal contact conductance can be assumed ideal for welding process. Additionally, the finite element model is validated by the measured and calculated dissipated heat due to forced convection. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is performed to compare the influence of maximum and minimum heat transfer coefficients of forced convection (water-cooling) on transient temperature field and dissipated heat of sample
AA5182.
Among different joining methods, the electron beam welding is recently applied for manufacturing of turbine components from temperature-resistant nickel-based conventionally cast Alloy 247 LC CC. However, the high tendency to hot cracking, in particular the formation of solidification cracks, remains a major challenge. Experiments indicate a significant reduction in hot cracks if the welding is performed outside the common welding parameter range. To understand these observations, a study of local thermo-mechanical conditions during electron beam welding of Alloy 247 samples was carried out using numerical simulations. The results were subsequently compared with reference test welds. For this purpose, a finite element model for coupled transient thermal and mechanical analysis was created and used. The work presents a comparative analysis of the evolution of strain components in brittle temperature range during cooling, considering the distribution and orientation of the cracks. Various relations between local strain kinetics and crack appearance, with notable influence of the plastic strain vector, were observed. Finally, the aspects of assessment of hot crack susceptibility with aid of thermo-mechanical welding simulation are discussed.
The effect of heat treatment at various temperatures (650, 850, 1050, and 1100°C) and dwell times (10 min and 1 h) on the metallurgical and microstructural evolution as well as on the related tensile properties of stainless steel 316L processed by selective laser melting (SLM) has been systematically evaluated. The metallurgical and microstructural features such as defects, stability of the columnar–cellular structure and substructure, second phase particles, and phase transformation imparted by SLM and heat treatment have been discussed. It has been shown that the processing conditions specific to SLM significantly alter the kinetics of phase evolution compared to standard welding techniques which affects the accuracy of the prediction. The influence of these characteristics on tensile properties and hardness was elucidated. It was disclosed that with increasing heat treatment temperature there was a gradual increase in elongation but a decrease in strength related to the dislocation density and the development of the microstructure.
Microhardness variations across the friction stir welded (FSW) and impulse friction stir welded (IFSW) AA2024–T351 joints have been elucidated by the transformations of the S–Al2CuMg phase with a special focus on a distinguished hardness peak within the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the impulse welds. The increase in hardness within the stir zone (SZ) originated from the partial re-precipitation of the initial Guinier-Preston-Bagaryatsky zones (GPB) and metastable S needles, previously dissolved.) Formation and growth of stable S precipitates via coalescence accounted for the softening through the thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ). The peak strengthening within the HAZ of the IFSW joints was mainly caused by the dense needle-shaped S particles, which can be explained by a mutual influence of the process specific temperature and strain cycles. Dislocations and subgrain boundaries introduced to the material due to plastic deformation facilitated the nucleation of strengthening S precipitates in the HAZ. It demonstrates that the impact of deformation should be considered by the characterization of the precipitation development in the HAZ.
In this publication, cold gas spraying (CGS) is investigated as an enabler for aluminum-steel joints. Using a powder-based coating process to adhere a steel layer to an aluminum substrate allows a steel component to be welded to the deposited layer by resistance spot welding. This method permits the metallurgical connection between similar materials to be separated, while mechanical bonding ensures the connection at the dissimilar aluminum-to-inlayer interface. A modification of the porous CGS layer, as well as the creation of the remelted zone in the aluminum, can be observed during the resistance spot welding process. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analyses show that the severely prestressed particles in the CGS coating recrystallize, which coincides with a decrease in defect density and hardness in the heat-affected zone. Microscopy of the aluminum substrate shows the creation of metallurgical pores as well as the expansion of pores attributed to the casting process. The rise in remelted aluminum hardness and decrease in the heat-affected zone of the CGS layer indicate the formation of a metallurgical notch.
The Influence of Geometrical and Welding Imperfections on the Strength of Stiffened Structures
(2018)
The strength calculation of stiffened plates and shells via finite element simulation has been part of the state of the art for a long time. Geometrical nonlinearities as well as the nonlinear material behavior are considered within the calculation. To simplify, both types of imperfections, geometrical and structural ones, are mostly combined in these strength calculations being considered as equivalent geometrical imperfections. Values for standard cases are included in EN 1993-1-5 in case of plated structures or 1-6 in case of shells. A second possibility is the separate definition of fabrication tolerances and residual stresses, as far as they are known. With increasing complexity of the structure, less information are however available on geometrical and particularly structural imperfections. Nevertheless, by means of a more realistic consideration of these values, the actual ultimate load can be determined significantly more exactly and the performance of high performance steel structures is increased.
In the investigated cases, deformations and stresses arise mainly due to welding. Therefore, the topic of this article is the application of an analytical numerical hybrid model for predicting imperfections induced by welds. This is presented on an example of a stiffened steel structure and a subsequent ultimate load calculation. At the beginning the analytical model, its physical basis as well as the physical interrelationships are introduced and explained. This is followed by the explanation of the coupling procedure between the analytical model and the numerical calculation for the calculation of weld-induced deformations and residual stresses. The significance of the hybrid model is proven by means of a few sample applications. For a realistic determination of the weld imperfections in the investigated stiffened structure, the coupled hybrid model is used afterwards. An ultimate load analysis gives information about the load carrying behavior under axial loading. The results are compared with the results of an ultimate load analysis from a literature example assuming different eigenvalues with different scaling. The results underline the potential additional utilization of load bearing capacity by this new approach.
Im vorgestellten Projekt wurden werkstoff- und konstuktionsgerechte Knotenformen aus Aluminiumschaumsandwich (engl. Aluminium Foam Sandwich, AFS) gestaltet und mit unterschiedlichen Schweißverfahren wie dem Metall-Inertgasschweißen und dem Rührreibschweißen gefügt und geprüft. Im Rahmen der Arbeiten stand dabei die schweißtechnische Verarbeitung von AFS mit anderen Produkten, wie den Strangpressprofilen oder dem Aluminiumvollmaterial, und deren Beanspruchbarkeit im Vordergrund. In umfangreichen Untersuchungen wurden hierzu sowohl die Verbindugsknoten selbst als auch der Sandwichverbund und die Einzelkomponenten des Sandwich, Schaum und Decklagen, anhand der statischen Festigkeit und Schwingfestigkeit bewertet. Zusätzlich wurden innere Schädigungsmechanismen betrachtet. Mit experimentellen und numerischen Nachweismethoden konnte die anwendungssichere Knotengestaltung, -anbindung und -berechnung der unterschiedlichen Verbindungstypen umgesetzt werden. Die Ergebnisse wurden im Rahmen der Nachweisführung gegenübergestellt und hinsichtlich eines praxisgerechten Einsatzes nach FKM-Richtlinie bzw. Eurocode9 bewertet. Mit den ermittelten Ergebnissen wurde die bisherige Gestaltungs- und Fügerichtlinie um neue Verbindungstypen erweitert.

Mixing of steel and aluminum within the weld pool during keyhole laser welding results in a complex dissimilar microstructure, which in turn, initiates a shift in weld metal mechanical properties. In this study, a numerical model for computation of distortions in laser-welded dissimilar overlap joints (austenitic stainless steel 304 – 6082-T6 aluminum alloy), which considers properties of the mixed steel-aluminum weld metal was developed. The required yield strength, Young's modulus, and strain hardening exponent of the weld metal were experimentally determined using the indentation technique coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The designed material model calculates the weld elastic-plastic properties as a function of the aluminum concentration. The softening of the alloys in the heat-affected zone was determined by physical simulations and considered as a function of maximum temperature. Computed and measured distortions showed good agreement for various welding regimes with an average deviation of 18.4%. The sensitivity analyses indicated that the application of the developed weld material model significantly improves the accuracy of the thermomechanical simulations.
In this work, a numerical model and experiments are used to investigate heat transfer processes during resistance spot
welding process of aluminum. For this purpose, calibrated heat transfer conditions and thermal contact conductance are transferred from a previous work to a coupled thermal-electrical-mechanical finite element model. First, all domains of the numerical model are validated by an experimental study. The experimental setup includes the measurement of current, voltage drops, electrode force, electrode displacement, and temperatures while two sheets of aluminum alloy AA5182 are joined. Computational results show that most of the generated Joule heat (78%) is stored in the electrodes or transferred to cooling water until the end of weld time. Heat transfer by natural convection and thermal radiation is very small and can in general be neglected for complete process. Afterwards, the influence of electrode water-cooling on welding process is investigated numerically. The results indicate that the generation of Joule heat and thermal energy of the sheets during weld time is only slightly affected by electrode water-cooling. As a consequence, water-cooling conditions do not affect nugget formation. In contrast, electrode water-cooling highly influences cooling conditions during hold time.
