Different from the traditional measurement methods using load cell or rotating component dynamometer, an indirect but economical methodology is used in this study for the simultaneous measurement of the traverse force, axial force and tool torque by monitoring the output torques of the servo motors and main spindle three-phase AC induction motor inside the FSW machine. The values of the traverse force, axial force and tool torque are determined under different welding conditions, and the influencing factors are examined. The measured results in friction stir welding of AA2024-T4 aluminum alloys at different combinations of tool rotation speed and welding speed lay foundation for process optimization.

Small, globulitic grains are necessary for increased strength, ductility and toughness and for a low inclination to hot cracking instead of large, oblong grains. This study reports on the factors which exert the main influences on such grain refinement in the weld. Thus, the influences of the thermal conditions, the chemical composition of the weld metal and the number and type of solidification nuclei on the microstructure were classified for the TIG welding of three different aluminium alloys.

In this context aluminum alloys have a significant importance especially the heat treatable Al-Mg-Si alloys. With regards to welding the heat input causes the dissolving of the precipitates yielding a degradation of the strength properties. Furthermore, there is the risk of solidification cracking during welding for Al-Mg-Si alloys, especially AW 6082-T6. As a consequence Al-Mg-Si alloys are welded using a dissimilar filler material based on 5xxxx aluminum alloys that yields a reduction of resulting strength properties in comparison to the base material. Therefore, the paper presents the application of a novel massive filler wire for Al-Mg-Si alloys. The wire consists of AW 6082 with additionally added AlTi5B1 master alloy fostering the grain refinement of the weld metal. Exemplarily for the base material AW 6082-T6 GMA welding experiments are performed using the novel filler wire 6082TiB. It could be shown that solidification cracks could totally be avoided. The tensile strength of the welded joints are evaluated and compared with weldments using a conventional 5183 filler wire. Artificial aging is performed after welding in order to improve the strength properties by solution hardening showing the potential of these alloys.

A thermo-mechanical FE model of a real GMA welding process was experimentally validated against termperature field, X-Ray stress measurments and optical distortion measurement. Within the sensititvity analysis K was varied and the influence on the calculated welding residual stresses and welding distortion is evaluated by performing corresponding FEA. The correct order of K magnitude is necessary in order to reproduce the residual stresses qualitatively and quantitatively. For the sufficient reproducing of the welding distortion the transformation induced plasticity can be neglected.

T1 - Assessing carbon dioxide emission reduction potentials of improved manufacturing processes using multiregional input output frameworks N2 - Evaluating innovative process technologies has become highly important within the last decades. As standard tools different Life Cycle Assessment methods have been established, which are continuously improved. While those are designed for evaluating single processes they run into difficulties when it comes to assessing environmental impacts of process innovations at macroeconomic level. In this paper we develop a multi-step evaluation framework building on multi regional inputeoutput data that allows estimating macroeconomic impacts of new process technologies, considering the network characteristics of the global economy. Our procedure is as follows: i) we measure differences in material usage of process alternatives, ii) we identify where the standard processes are located within economic networks and virtually replace those by innovative process technologies, iii) we account for changes within economic systems and evaluate impacts on emissions. Within this paper we exemplarily apply the methodology to two recently developed innovative technologies: longitudinal large diameter steel pipe welding and turning of high-temperature resistant materials. While we find the macroeconomic impacts of very specific process innovations to be small, its conclusions can significantly differ from traditional process based approaches. Furthermore, information gained from the methodology provides relevant additional insights for decision makers extending the picture gained from traditional process life cycle assessment.

Makhnenko, T1 - Fast generation and prediction of welding temperature fields for multiple experiments N2 - The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a new simulation technique which allows the fast and automatic generation to temperature fields based on a combination of empirical and phenomenological modelling techniques. The automatic calibration of the phenomenological model is performed by a multi-variable global optimisation routine which yields the optimal fit between simulated and experimental weld charcteristics without the need for initial model parameters. For exemplary welding processes it is shown that linear 3D heat conduction models can approximate measured temperature fields with a high accuracy. The modelling approach presented comprises the automatic calibration against multiple experiments which permits simulating the temperature field for unknown process parameters. The validation of this composite simulation model is performed for exemplary welding processes and includes the prediction of the fusion line in the cross section and the corresponding thermal cycles.
