Es wurden Schweißversuche in Ein- sowie Mehrlagentechnik mit Blechdicken von 16, 20 und 28 mm durchgeführt sowie die Prozessgrenzen für die Spaltüberbrückbarkeit, den Kantenversatz und das Schweißen in Zwangspositionen untersucht. Für die Schweißversuche kamen Faserlaser mit Leistungen von 8, 20 und 30 kW in Verbindung mit einem MAG-Schweißprozess als Laserstrahl-MSG-Hybridschweißen zum Einsatz. Mit dem 30-kW-Faserlaser war es möglich, 28 mm dicke Bleche einlagig zu schweißen, jedoch besteht weiterer Forschungsbedarf, um Aussagen über die erreichbare Qualität treffen zu können. Bei 20 kW Laserstrahlleistung wurde zum einlagigen Schweißen von Blechen mit einer Dicke von 20 mm eine entsprechende Nahtvorbereitung benötigt, 16 mm dicke Bleche konnten dagegen ohne Vorbereitung der Naht im Stumpfstoß geschweißt werden. In der Mehrlagentechnik wurden mit dem 8-kW-Faserlaser 16 mm dicke Bleche vorbereitet mit einer Y-Naht geschweißt. Hierbei wurde die Wurzellage hybrid geschweißt, die Füll- und Decklagen mit einem reinen MAG-Prozess. PY - 2010 SN - 0036-7184 VL - 62 IS - 6 SP - 338 EP - 347 PB - Verl. für Schweißen u.

Insbesondere, wenn hohe Lage- und Formtoleranzen gefordert werden, ist das klassische Herstellungsverfahren ein Zerspanen aus dem Vollmaterial. Dies ist jedoch zeit- und materialintensiv. Als Alternative bieten sich die Laserstrahl-MSGHybridverfahren mit modernen Hochleistungslasern an. Mit diesen Verfahren ist es derzeit möglich, Bauteile bis zu etwa 15 mm Wanddicke verzugsarm und einlagig zu verschweißen. In ersten Experimenten wurden bei Schweißungen an Rohren jedoch in Bezug auf die Schweißrichtung längs und vertikal orientierte Erstarrungsrisse, so genannte Mittelrippendefekte, festgestellt. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojekts konnte die Ursache der Rissentstehung ermittelt und Maßnahmen zur Vermeidung gefunden werden. Dabei ließen sich die technischen Randbedingungen einhalten. Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick über das Forschungsprojekt und die wesentlichen Ergebnisse. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thick-walled pipes made of steel are the basis of a large number of components in mechanical and installation engineering, e.g. for hydraulic components, in power station technology or in the petroleum industry. Particularly when strict positional and shape tolerances are demanded, the classical manufacturing process is chip-producing machining from the solid material. However, this is time-intensive and material- intensive. The laser/GMA hybrid processes with modern high-power lasers are a suitable alternative. With these processes, it is currently possible to weld components with a wall thickness up to approx. 15 mm with little distortion in one pass. However, in initial experiments, solidification cracks with longitudinal and vertical orientations in relation to the welding direction, so-called central rib defects, were established in welds on pipes. Within the framework of a research project, it was possible to determine the cause of the cracking and to find measures in order to avoid it. The technical boundary conditions could be complied with in this respect. The article gives an overview of the research project and the essential results.

Dabei kann die Verwendung von speziellen Schutzgasgemischen, auch bei geringen Anteilen zugemischter Gase, durchaus die Bauteilqualität positiv beeinflussen. In Vorarbeiten der Messer SE & Co. KGaA zeigte ein gewisser Sauerstoffanteil im Schutzgas die Tendenz, den Flankenwinkel von Schweißspuren beim DED zu verbessern. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde daher detailliert untersucht in wie weit unterschiedliche Schutzgasgemische einen Einfluss auf die Qualität sowie die geometrischen Eigenschaften der additiv gefertigten Strukturen des Werkzeugstahls 1.2709 beim Laser-DED ausüben. Es erfolgten zunächst Testschweißungen in Form von Einzelspuren mit unterschiedlichen Gemischen aus dem Basisschutzgas Argon mit geringen Anteilen verschiedener Gase. Dabei wurde der Einfluss der Zusätze auf die Spurgeometrie und Aufbauqualität untersucht. Auf Basis dieser Vorversuche wurde eine Auswahl vielversprechender Gasgemische getroffen und Detailuntersuchungen in Form von Spuren, Flächen und Quadern unter Zugabe verschiedener Mengen an Zusätzen durchgeführt. Zur Bewertung des Einflusses der Schutzgasbeimengungen wurden der Flankenwinkel, die Porosität und das Gefüge der Proben anhand metallografischer Schliffe untersucht. Es zeigte sich, dass eine Zugabe von geringen Anteilen an Zusätzen zunächst zu einer Vergrößerung des Flankenwinkels im Vergleich zu reinem Argon führt. Mit steigendem Anteil der Gase nimmt dieser Winkel jedoch ab. So kann je nach Menge des zugesetzten Gases eine individuelle Benetzung des aufgetragenen Materials an der Oberfläche erreicht werden. Auch die Porosität ließ sich durch Schutzgasgemische beeinflussen und zeigt ein abweichendes Verhalten im Vergleich zu reinem Argon.

Es wurden dabei Laserstrahlschweißversuche in PA-Position an bis zu 20 mm dickem Duplexstahl 1.4462 sowie Baustahl S235JR durchgeführt. Unter konstanten Schweißparametern wurden Durchschweißungen generiert. Dem hydrostatischen Druck wurde unter Verwendung der Technologie zur elektromagnetischen Schmelzbadunterstützung durch Variation der Oszillationsfrequenz und der AC-Leistung des Magnetsystems entgegengewirkt. Zunächst konzentrierten sich die Versuche auf den Duplexstahl 1.4462, welcher jeweils aus 50 % Ferrit und Austenit besteht. Hierbei konnte festgestellt werden, dass zur idealen Kompensation von 15 mm bei einer Frequenz von 1,7 kHz eine AC-Leistung von 1,6 kW erforderlich ist, die Schweißnähte aber bereits bei einer AC-Leistung von ca. 0,8 kW in die Bewertungsgruppe B der DIN EN ISO 13919-1:1996-09 eingeordent werden können. Zur idealen Kompensation des hydrostatischen Druckes bei 20 mm dickem Duplexstahl war eine um 20 % höhere AC-Leistung notwendig. Im Anschluss an die Versuche mit dem Duplexstahl wurden die Untersuchungen auf bis zu 20 mm dicke Proben aus Baustahl S235JR erweitert. Für 15 mm konnten die Schweißnähte bei einer Frequenz von 1,7 kHz ab einer AC-Leistung von 1,3 kW in die Bewertungsgruppe B eingeordnet werden. Zur idealen Kompensation von 20 mm dickem Baustahl war eine AC-Leistung von 1,6 kW bei einer Frequenz von 636 Hz nötig. Mit steigender AC-Leistung konnte in allen Versuchsreihen eine sukzessive Verringerung der Wurzelüberhöhung demonstriert werden.

T1 - LMD coatings as filler material for laser beam welded 30 mm thick plates N2 - The development of high energy laser sources enables single-pass welds of thick plates up to 30 mm, but often additional materials are needed to influence the properties of the weld seams. However, the homogenous distribution of filler materials in form of e.g. electrodes is only possible up to 7 mm while the elements are only traceable up to a depth of 14 mm. To overcome this problem a two-step process is used where first the edges of the weld partners are coated with the filler material by laser metal deposition (LMD) and afterwards are welded by laser beam. Single-pass welds with electromagnetic weld pool support of 30 mm thick S355 J2+N-plates with austenitic AISI 316L-coatings were investigated as well as the influence of the coatings to the penetration depth of the laser beam without electromagnetic weld pool support in double-sided joints. The weld seams were tested by X-ray inspection and cross sections.

In the field of research and development, not enough attention has been paid so far to tasks and approaches involving MRO. The field thus has a limited scientific background, despite a high potential in the business sector for technological and scientific optimization. The challenges and chances of MRO for sustainable enterprises will be explained with reference to the Fraunhofer Innovation Cluster Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul in Energy and Transport.

A1 - Bachmann, Marcel A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Mathematical modeling of the geometrical differences between the weld end crater and the steady-state weld pool N2 - The geometrical characteristics of the weld end crater are commonly used for the validation of numerical results in welding simulation. A semi-analytical model calculating the cooling stage of the welding process after the moving energy source is turned off has been developed. A solution for various combinations of heat sources and workpieces has been found. The theoretical limits for the heat transfer of the absorbed energy during cooling in a thin plate and a semi-infinite body were studied. It is shown that after turning off the energy source, an additional melting of the base material in longitudinal direction may occur. The developed technique is applied to complete-penetration keyhole laser beam welding of a 2 mm thick austenitic chromium-nickel 316L steel plate at a welding speed of 20 mm/s and a laser power of 2.3 kW. The results show a theoretical increase of the weld end crater length in comparison to the length of the steady-state weld pool of up to 19 %. A shift of the centre of the end crater, in which the solidification of the liquid metal ends, towards the tail of the end crater relative to the axis of the heat source at the time of its termination, was computed. The speed and the direction of crystallization of the molten material in the weld pool and the end crater were found to be different. A good agreement between the computational results and the welding experiments was achieved.

The contribution of energy from the laser affects the temperature distribution in the formed layers. The changing temperature in the working area entails a Change in the geometry of the layers and affects the stability of the process. In this paper, experiments on the measurement of temperature cycles in the DLMD process with different directions of the filling track are carried out. An infrared camera was used to measure thermal cycles. The calibration of the acquired data (i.e. correspondence table between the intensity of thermal radiation of the material and the absolute temperature) was done with help of two-color pyrometer ex situ and in situ measurements. The experiments are carried out on two materials 316L and Inconel 718. The effect of the maximum temperature on the layer height is shown, and thermal cycles in the formation of layers for different filling strategies are presented.

In this study, a high strength aluminium alloy (2024-T4) was welded by this process and conventional FSW, respectively. Then tensile tests, microhardness tests and fracture surface analysis were performed successively on the welding samples. The tests results reveal that ultrasonic vibration can improve the tensile strength and the elongation of welded joints. The microhardness of the stir zone also increases.

Laser welding arises as a valid joining method for effectively integrating these AM parts into larger assemblies. PBF-LB/M components must usually be stress-relieved before they can be separated from the build plate. An additional heat treatment can be beneficial for obtaining homogeneous mechanical properties across the seam or for the formation of desired precipitations in nickel-based-alloys. Therefore, the tensile performance of laser welded hybrid (AM/wrought) and AM-AM tensile samples of Inconel 718 is examined after undergoing three different heat treatments and considering three relevant build directions. It can be shown that the build orientation is an influencing factor on weld properties even after two applied heat treatments.

The process aims to avoid weld imperfections in the overlap area of a HLAW circumferential weld. A process control strategy for closing the circumferential weld was developed to achieve a defect-free overlap region by controlling the solidification conditions at the end of the weld. The controlled heat flow is achieved by adjusting the parameters of both welding processes involved, the laser beam as well as gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process. Experimental investigations were carried out on 12 mm to 15 mm thick tube sections. The influence of process parameters such as the laser ramp time, the change in magnification scale and the defocusing of the laser beam on the solidifi-cation conditions at the end of the circumferential weld was investigated to find an optimum strategy for ramping out the process energy. Within the framework of the experimental studies, it was demonstrated that defocusing the laser beam in the range between 60 mm and 100 mm over a short run-out area of the weld of approximately 15 mm led to a significantly better weld formation in the overlap area. A favourable cup-shaped weld shape could be achieved without a tendency to crack. The laser optics with a motor-driven lens system made it possible to increase the laser beam diameter without changing the position of the GMAW arc relative to the component surface.

In this study, a modified refill friction stir spot welding (refill-FSSW) method is proposed to weid AMSO Mg alloy, in which pin and sleeve rotate at different states. Effects of process parameters on the microstructure, material flow, and mechanical properties of welds were studied. Results showed that, the modified refill-FSSW technology could enhance the intennixing of material by changing the flow state.

Industrial applications require a stable process to ensure reproducible quality. Instabilities in the manufacturing process can lead to faulty components which do not meet the required properties. The DED process is adjusted by various parameters such as laser power, velocity, powder mass flow and spot diameter, which interact with each other. A frequently used comparative parameter in welding is the energy per unit length and is calculated from the laser power and the velocity in laser welding. The powder per unit length comparative parameter in the DED process has also be taken into account, because this filler material absorbs energy in addition to the base material. This paper deals with the influence of mass energy as a comparative parameter for determining the properties of additively manufactured parts. The same energy per unit length of 60 J/mm as well as the same powder per unit length of 7.2 mg/mm can be adjusted with different parameter sets. The energy per unit length and the powder per unit length determine the mass energy. The laser power is varied within the experiments between 400 W and 900 W. Energy per unit length and powder per unit length are kept constant by adjusting velocity and powder mass flow. Using the example of Inconel 718, experiments are carried out with the determined parameter sets. In a first step, individual tracks are produced and analyzed by means of micro section. The geometry of the tracks shows differences in height and width. In addition, the increasing laser power leads to a higher dilution of the base material. To determine the suitability of the parameters for additive manufacturing use, the individual tracks are used to build up parts with a square base area of 20x20 mm². An investigation by Archimedean principle shows a higher porosity with lower laser power. By further analysis of the micro sections, it can be seen that at low laser power, connection errors occur between the tracks. The results show that laser power, velocity and powder mass flow have to be considered in particular, because a constant mass energy can lead to different geometric as well as microscopic properties.

The potential consists of profiting from synergies between additive and conventional manufacturing methods and overcoming the existing limitations of both. On the one hand, L-PBF is a widely spread metal-based additive manufacturing technique suitable for generating complex parts which can present intrinsic designed cavities, conformal cooling channels, and filigree structures contributing to sustainable manufacturing and efficiency-oriented designs. On the other hand, chamber sizes for producing L-PBF parts are limited, and the process is time-consuming. Thus, its employment is not for every geometry justified. Additionally, they are in most cases individual elements of a larger assembly and need to be joined together to conventionally fabricated parts. The present research suggests laser welding parameters to adequately bond pairs of wrought and L-PBF processed plates and two L-PBF plates of Inconel 718 in butt position. L-PBF samples are printed in three different build-up orientations. Additionally, the influence of as-built L-PBF roughness qualities and usual pre-weld preparations such as edge milling are examined. The effect of normed pre-weld heat treatments is also contemplated. Identified cracks are analyzed by means of EDS in order to confirm the present phases on the areas of interest. EBSD is also employed to obtain a clear depiction of the crystallographic texture and distribution of the hot cracks. The quality of the weldment was examined according to existing standards. Substantial differences in seam geometry and microstructure across different edge’s surface qualities and build directions of stress relieved L-PBF parts have not been detected. Nevertheless, even if no other irregularities are present in the seam, variability in liquation cracking susceptibility has been confirmed. This defect is prone to happen when parts made of this nickel-based superalloy are welded together when not enough precautions are taken. It has been determined that grain size and ductility of the material before welding play a crucial role and mitigating or intensifying these imperfections. Moreover, recommendations are presented to avoid this potential welding defect.

These unfavourable effects can be significantly mitigated by the application of a reduced ambient pressure thus decreasing the interaction between the laser beam and evaporation products, which leads to more stable welding process and results in increased penetration depth. A conventional technique use a vacuum chamber principle, similar to that, used for electron beam welding. Application of this technique is restricted by the camera size and reduces thus the advantages of this approach especially for large components. We demonstrate a possibility of mobile local vacuum application, which allows to generate a reduced pressure only in small region around the keyhole. By using of specially designed mobile pressure lock which can be moved along the welding direction absolute pressure of around 200 mbar could be obtained. This is sufficient to increase the welding depth by around 50%. Coupons from S355 were welded with an incremental laser power from 5 kW to 12 kW at atmospheric pressure and compared to those welded at ambient pressure of 200 mbar. The evaluation of the longitudinal section revealed an increase of the welding depth by about 35%. Furthermore, the welding trials in butt joint configuration on 15 mm thick plates at various laser beam power performed for atmospheric and reduced ambient pressure of around 200 mbar. The increase in welding depth up to 40% was established for reduced pressure. Particularly, low welding speeds under reduced pressure were especially advantageous in terms of increasing the welding depth.

The vacuum cap presented in this article uses a local reduced ambient pressure environment in a tight zone around the welding area and, in contrast to a conventional vacuum chamber, it is movable in the welding direction. The mobile installation is very compact and reaches pressure values of around 200 mbar. The reduced pressure in the vacuum cap is sufficient to generate 50 % higher penetration depth in comparison to welding under ambient pressure conditions. The low pressure around the keyhole reduces the vapour-plasma plume and therefore prevents a defocusing and scattering of the laser radiation. This allows to raise the amount of laser beam power entering the keyhole as well as the effective power density.

It is based on the equivalent heat source concept and consists of two parts: thermo-hydrodynamics of the weld pool and heat conduction in the weldment outside the pool. In thermo-hydrodynamic problem, temperature – dependent material properties, keyhole shape, thermo-capillary and natural convection, phase transformations and other physical phenomena are taken into consideration. Solution of the thermo-hydrodynamic problem by the finite element method is demonstrated with keyhole laser beam welding of a 15 mm thick steel plate. Thermo-capillary convection is primarily responsible for the intricate convex-concave melt pool shape and pool enlargement near the plate surfaces. The calculated and experimental molten pool dimensions are in close agreement.

T1 - Multiple-wire submerged arc welding of high-strength fine-grained steels N2 - Ensuring the required mechanical-technological properties of welds is a critical issue in the application of multi-wire submerged arc welding processes for welding high-strength fine-grained steels. Excessive heat input is one of the main causes for microstructural zones with deteriorated mechanical properties of the welded joint, such as a reduced notched impact strength and a lower structural robustness. A process variant is proposed which reduces the weld volume as well as the heat input by adjusting the welding wire configuration as well as the energetic parameters of the arcs, while retaining the advantages of multiwire submerged arc welding such as high process stability and production speed.

Durch die hohen Abkühlraten beim Laserstrahlschweißen weisen Schweißnähte jedoch anstelle eines ausgeglichenen Duplexgefüges einen deutlich erhöhten Ferritanteil, im Vergleich zum Basiswerkstoff, auf. Dies führt zu einer verringerten Duktilität sowie Korrosionsbeständigkeit. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, wurde ein Prozess entwickelt, der auf einer Kantenbeschichtung mit nickelhaltigem Zusatzmaterial der zu fügenden Bleche mittels Laser-Pulver-Auftragschweißen (LPA) basiert. Die resultierenden Schweißnähte wurden zerstörend anhand von Schliffbildern, EDX-Aufnahmen, Härtemessungen und Kerbschlagbiegeversuchen geprüft. T2 - 40.

The following observations can be made: - The estimated strain and displacement for conducted tensile test are generally very close to those measured with conventional DIC-technique. - The LK technique allows measurement of strain or displacement without special selection of a region of interest. Using a novel optical measurement technique together with the optical flow algorithm, a twodimensional deformation analysis during welding was conducted. This technique is the first to provide a measurement of the full strain field locally in the immediate vicinity of the solidification front. Additionally, the described procedure of the optical measurement allows the real material-dependent values of critical strain characterizing the transition to hot cracking during laser welding processes to be determined.

The model accounts for the coupling between the heat transfer and the fluid dynamics by considering the effects of solid/liquid phase transition, thermo-capillary convection, natural convection, and phase-specific and temperature-dependent material properties up to the evaporation temperature. A fixed right circular cone was utilized as a keyhole geometry to consider the heat absorbed from the laser beam. The model was used to analyze the influence of the thermodynamic activity of solutes and turbulence on the weld pool shape. A mesh sensitivity analysis was performed on a hybrid mesh combining hexahedral and tetrahedral elements. For the case of full penetration laser beam welding of 8 mm thick unalloyed steel sheets, the dependence of the weld pool shape on the surface-active element sulfur was found to be negligible. The analysis of the results showed that a laminar formulation is sufficient for accurately predicting the weld pool shape since the turbulence has a minor impact on the flow dynamics in the weld pool. The validity of the numerical results was backed up by experimental measurements and observations, including weld pool length, local temperature history, and a range of metallographic crosssections.

The real-time height of the metal vapor plume is measured by high-speed camera observation. The obtained experimental results are used to evaluate the additional heating source and laser beam attenuation caused by the scattering and absorption based on the Beer-Lambert theory. Furthermore, the dynamic behavior of the metal vapor plume is incorporated into a 3D transient heat transfer and fluid flow model, coupled with the ray tracing method, for the laser beam welding of the AlMg3 alloy. It is found that the additional heating resulting from the scattered and absorbed laser beam energy by the metal vapor plume significantly expands the shape of the molten pool on the top region. Moreover, the oscillating metal vapor plume caused the fluctuation of the molten pool shape. The probability of keyhole collapse at the bottom increases significantly to 72% due to the oscillating laser power induced by the laser beam attenuation. The internal interplay between the metal vapor plume, molten pool shape, and the keyhole collapse are obtained. The developed model has been validated by the experiments, which shows a good agreement.
