T1 - GMA welding of AW-6082 using filler wires fostering grain refinement in the weld metal N2 - The application of welded aluminum constructions has increased over the last decades due to the high demand for lightweight design. 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.

However, selecting process parameters that yield the desired near net shape design and requested mechanical component behavior is not a trivial task due to the complex relationship between all process parameters and material characteristics. This presentation exemplifies the application of a newly developed solid welding wire doped with TiB to enhance grain refinement in the deposited metal for additive manufacturing based on DED-Arc of high-strength precipitation hardening AlMgSi-aluminum alloys. It is worth noting that the solid wire is the result of our preliminary metallurgical studies on grain refinement in aluminum weld metal. Consequently, research focuses on the correlation between process parameters and component quality to understand the underlying mechanisms. This is crucial for evaluating a robust process parameter space that yields component quality in line with corresponding standards which are mainly taken from welding technology. Specifically, we examine component quality by analyzing pore size and distribution, as well as grain morphology. To enhance the mechanical properties of the deposited metal, a post-weld heat treatment was conducted, comprising of solution treatment, quenching, and artificial aging. The study also evaluates the effects of various heat treatment strategies on the final mechanical properties of the material. To demonstrate the applicability of 3D metal printing of high-strength aluminium alloys, a more complex demonstrator was created. It has been shown that DED-Arc can produce high-volume aluminium parts with the same quality as the corresponding subtractive processing strategy. Additionally, the entire additive manufacturing chain has been digitally integrated, enabling traceability of all relevant process steps, which is essential for reliable subsequent quality assessment.

Besides XL-monopiles the jacket support structure is a reasonable alternative due to the high rigidity combined with low material consumption. However, the effort for manufacturing of the hollow section joints reduces the economic potential of jacket structures significantly. Therefore, a changeover from an individual towards a serial production based on automated manufactured tubular joints combined with standardized pipes has to be achieved. Hence, this paper addresses the welding process chain of automated manufactured tubular joints including digitization of the relevant manufacturing parameters such as laser scanning of the weld seam geometry.

New business models have been developed to benefit from the opportunities offered by a digitally connected world. However, the focus in on the smart factory consisting of autonomous acting cyber physical systems (CPS). The efficient implementation of such CPS within an industrial environment requires the digitalization of the corresponding production processes. The digital twin of the process under investigation enables to develop sophisticated monitoring and control strategies which are necessary to fulfil the requirements of individual product design. The need for a digitalization of the welding process is a logical consequence especially with regards to its industrial importance. The theoretical investigations and derived mathematical models of the welding process are well known since many decades. Anyhow, there is still a lack of industrial applicability of such models for an efficient and safe design of welded components. With respect to structural welding simulation that targets the heat effects of welding in terms of global quantities like temperature, solid phase distribution and residual stresses as well as distortions, the limited predictability of these quantities for arbitrary process parameters hinders its usability. This presentation aims to give an overview of the current state of the art in structural welding simulation to predict the evolution of welding induced temperatures, stresses and distortions. Emphasis is given to industrial applicability of such models by reduction of the calculation times for large real-world structures and improved prediction of optimal process parameters. Furthermore, the role of such models within a weld data management system is demonstrated. The accumulation and relational storage of simulation and measuring data improves the overall process knowledge. This enables virtual cause and effect analyses of new process parameters as basis for a control system design.

The thermo-physical analyses were conducted using a Gleeble® 3500 facility. The thermal histories of the specimens to be tested were extracted from corresponding simulations of a real gas metal arc weldment. In contrast to common TRIP-experiments which are based on complex specimens a simple flat specimen was utilized together with an engineering evaluation method. The evaluation method was validated with literature values for the TRIP-parameter. It could be shown that the proposed approach enables a correct description of the TRIP behavior.

K was determined experimentally using the Gleeble 3500 facility. A thermomechanical FE model of the real welding process was experimentally validated against temperature field and X-ray stress measurements. Within sensitivity analyses K was varied by several orders of magnitude and the influence on the calculated residual stresses is evaluated by performing corresponding FEA. The correct order of magnitude is sufficient to reproduce the residual stresses qualitatively and quantitatively.

The (γ → α)-transformation kinetic within the weld pool region is governed by a non-uniform distribution of the elements chromium and nickel. The single-pass weld was performed by use of the low-alloyed high-strength steel S960QL with the high-alloyed high-strength filler wire CN 13/4-IG®. A thermo-mechanical FE model of the welding process was experimentally validated against temperature field, solid phase distribution, transformation behaviour, X-Ray stress measurements and transient optical distortion measurements. The experimentally determined and calculated weld residual stresses and transient distortion are in good agreement. It can be shown that the change on the (γ → α)-transformation kinetic driven by the inhomogeneous distribution of the chemical contents causes a strong influence on the weld residual stresses within the volume of the weld pool, which could promote crack propagation within the solidified weld pool by use of high-alloyed filler materials. Furthermore, a significant influence on the development of the transient welding distortion is visible. This influence should be respected during numerically calculation of welding distortion in case of multi-pass welding using interpass temperatures and high-alloyed filler materials.
