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.

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.
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.
