TY - CONF A1 - Rhode, Michael A1 - Kannengießer, Thomas T1 - Call for interested people to contribute to series of comprehensive papers on welding and joining of components for sustainable energy systems N2 - Joining and welding technologies are of high importance for the manufacturing of components and parts used in sustainable energy generation, conversion, and transport. In that connection, offshore and on-shore installed wind turbines are of high interest for the generation of electrical energy as well as photo-voltaic systems (solar cells). The electricity can be either directly transported or conversed via power-to-gas e.g., to hydrogen. In that scope, electrolyzer up to MW-range are of interest as well as the conver-sion back to electricity via fuel cells. In addition, hydrogen is a key element of the decarburization of in-dustries as well as the mobility sector encompassing sea, air and land transportation driven by hydrogen or its derivates. Well-known examples cover the direct reduction of iron ore to replace the conventional blast furnace process up to gas turbines or fuel cells for home-end use. All mentioned technologies re-quire reliable components, which are to a high extend dependent on joining and especially welding pro-cessing of materials. Especially, the (petro-) chemical industry has many years of experience with both materials used in hydrogen applications. The challenge is e.g., the transition to mass production of sys-tem components of electrolyzers/fuel cells and for distribution grids. At this point, the scalability of cur-rently applied joining processes often limits the economic efficiency, whereas especially laser welding or additive manufacturing will be of high interest. In that connection, it is very important to provide answers by joint research of universities, institutes, and industrial companies. Very often, solutions are already available and “just” have to be investigated and adapted for the new application, like repair welding of NG pipelines. For that reason, we want to set up a series of comprehensive papers with the aforementioned title. The idea is to get an in-depth but manageable overview of the importance of joining technologies in sustaina-ble energy generation, conversion, and transport encompassing current processes, limitations, and fur-ther perspectives. In that connection, the additive manufacturing is gaining more and more attention. If applicable, current challenges in the adaption or creation of new standards/regulations shall be addressed.

The reduced tensile stress leads to an improvement in the fatigue strength of welded components. LTT filler metals are characterized by a reduced martensite start temperature (Ms), which is close to room temperature because of their chemical composition. This paper focuses on the hybrid use of LTT filler metals, where the LTT filler is applied as an additional layer to conventional welds on fatigue-critical spots. Conventional gas metal arc welded longitudinal stiffeners are used as specimens and at the face ends of the stiffeners, a second LTT layer was added with various weld modifications. These modifications were achieved by changing the welding parameters such as welding speed and offset to the first layer. These samples were used to analyze shape, dilution and resulting Ms, residual stress and fatigue strength. The dilution and dilatometer verified Ms did not change significant, although the surface of the 2nd LTT weld seam was varying clear with each modification. However, the weld modification had a significant effect on the residual stress state and the fatigue strength. The X-ray determined residual stress in the HAZ became lower when the weld toe of the LTT layer was further away from the stiffener. The Fatigue strength is clearly dependent on the residual stress state. The lower the residual stress at weld toe, the higher the fatigue strength. All samples with LTT weld exhibit significantly higher fatigue strength values than conventionally single and double-layer welded samples. The results show that on the one hand LTT filler metals increase the fatigue strength, and on the other hand the impact of LTT fillers materials is not restricted to the dilution and Ms, the shape of the weld seam must also be considered.
