Therefore, this paper addresses fatigue tests of automatical-ly welded tubular X-joints focusing on the location of the technical fatigue crack. For this X-joint, the detect-ed location of the technical crack is then compared to numerical investigations predicting the most fatigue prone notch considering the structural stress approach as well as the notch stress approach. Additionally, the fatigue prone hot spot according to both approaches is compared for a typical offshore jacket double-K-joint to emphasize the significance of the presented outcomes for the existing offshore structures. Besides, the welding process of the automated manufactured tubular X-joints is presented.

Optical microscopy revealed variation in the microstructure of the parent material, in the heat affected and fusion zones, correlating with distinctive changes in the local magnetic stray fields measured with high spatial resolution giant magneto resistance sensors. In the vicinity of the heat affected zone high residual stresses were found using neutron diffraction. Notably, the gradients of von Mises stress and triaxial magnetic stray field modulus follow the same tendency transverse to the weld. In contrast, micro-X-ray fluorescence characterization indicated that local changes in element composition had no independent effect on magnetic stray fields.

The material Parameters can be obtained by performing the tensile test on the samples made from a part of a component. In some cases, it is highly expensive to produce the tensile specimens especially from the weld metal, which contains different type of microstructure such as weld seam or heat affected zone in an extremely small area. Therefore, a method is described in this paper to determine the material Parameters of high strength Steel structures and welded joints locally and without any additional effort to perform the tensile test. In this method, instrumented indentation technique (IIT), an indenter is pushed on the flat surface of a specimen in a certain period of time and simultaneously the applied force and the corresponding indentation path are measured. The data related to the force-indentation diagram is given as input to an artificial neural network (ANN) to obtain the material Parameters. The ANN can be trained by generating the large qualitative data sets with numerical Simulation of the IIT procedure. The Simulation must be run several times with the different material model parameter sets to generate the numerous force-indentation diagrams as the inputs of ANN. Then, the trained ANN is validated by performing the IIT on the welded joints and comparing the obtained material Parameters from ANN with the tensile test. Consequently, the mechanical properties of welded joints can be determined by performing the IIT and evaluating the resulting data by the ANN. T2 - 39.

Large longitudinal residual stresses with maxima around 600 MPa were found. With these results as reference, the evaluation of residual stress with high spatial resolution GMR (giant magneto resistance) sensors was discussed. The experiments performed indicate a correlation between changes in residual stresses (ND) and the normal component of local residual magnetic stray fields (GMR). Spatial variations in the magnetic field strength perpendicular to the welds are in the order of the magnetic field of the earth.

However, determining optimal process parameters to achieve the desired near-net shape design and mechanical performance is a complex challenge due to the intricate interplay between process parameters and material properties. This presentation highlights the use of a newly developed solid welding wire doped with TiB to improve grain refinement in metals deposited via DED-Arc for high-strength precipitation-hardening AlMgSi aluminum alloys. This wire stems from our initial metallurgical investigations into grain refinement in aluminum weld metals. The research emphasizes the relationship between process parameters and component quality, aiming to uncover the mechanisms that influence performance. This is essential for establishing a reliable range of parameters that meet quality standards, many of which are derived from traditional welding practices. Component quality was assessed by studying pore size, pore distribution, and grain morphology. To further enhance the mechanical properties of the deposited material, post-weld heat treatments—including solution treatment, quenching, and artificial aging—were applied. The study also explores how different heat treatment strategies affect the final mechanical properties. To validate the feasibility of 3D printing high-strength aluminum alloys, a more complex demonstrator component was fabricated. The results demonstrate that DED-Arc technology can produce large aluminum parts with a quality comparable to subtractive manufacturing techniques. Furthermore, the entire additive manufacturing workflow has been digitally integrated, enabling full traceability of all key process steps. This digital integration is critical for ensuring reliable quality assessments of the finished components.

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.

Die Seitenführung des Brenners auf Basis der optischen Messgrößen stellt eine robuste und einfach zu implementierende Möglichkeit zur Nahtverfolgung dar. Für die Höhenführung über der Schweißnaht wurde neben der Lösung mittels optischer Messverfahren zusätzlich eine direkt darauf aufbauende Möglichkeit zur Implementierung eines Lichtbogensensors abgeleitet. Das Vorgehen konnte sowohl für Sprühlichtbogenprozesse als auch bei Verwendung von Impulslichtbogenprozessen erfolgreich angewendet werden. Die zur Sicherstellung eines gleichmäßigen Flankeneinbrandes entwickelte Pendelregelung ist ebenfalls für unterschiedliche Lichtbogenarten einsetzbar und muss vom Anwender auch beim Einsatz einer großen Bandbreite unterschiedlicher Prozessparameter nahezu nicht konfiguriert werden. Neben der im Rahmen der Verfahrensprüfung untersuchten Pendelraupentechnik konnte die Übertragbarkeit des Vorgehens auch auf die Strichraupentechnik anhand von gezielten Schweißversuchen aufgezeigt werden. Die zunächst auf Basis der optischen Messwerte ausgelegte Füllgradregelung konnte die vorgesehenen Spaltvariationen von 18 bis 24 mm im Rahmen der durchgeführten Verfahrensprüfung ausgleichen. Die Ableitung eines äquivalenten Lichtbogensensors durch Kopplung beider Messprinzipien wurde am Laufzeitende des Vorhabens aufgezeigt, konnte jedoch durch zeitliche Beschränkung nicht für die Verfahrensprüfung berücksichtigt werden. In Absprache mit dem projektbegleitenden Ausschuss wurde die Entwicklung der Prozessregelung für das Vorhaben auf Schweißungen in Wannenlage und Grundwerkstoffe der Güte S355J2 beschränkt. Die Qualifizierung des Verfahrens unter Einsatz der beschriebenen Regelalgorithmen nach DIN EN ISO 15614-1 konnte für alle betrachteten Spaltbreiten zwischen 18 und 24 mm anhand einer 50 mm dicken Demonstratorprobe nachgewiesen werden.
