The Investigation reveals that the usage of an electromagnetic field leads to a significant reduction of the porosity as well as to a surface smoothing of aluminum die casting. Based on the reference case without an electromagnetic influence, the porosity area was reduced gradually up to 76%. Metallurgical pores as well as process pores were removed from the weld pool. Also the weld reinforcement was improved up to 78%. Best results were reached with a frequency of 4325 Hz and a magnetic flux density of 348 mT. Although a complete prevention of porosity was not achieved, the best weld seam reached a high quality and can be ranked in valuation group B of DIN EN ISO 13919-2:2001–12.

Today, the technologies capacity to produce 3D depositions leads to a new field of application as additive manufacturing method. In this paper, 3D laser metal deposition of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V is studied with special regard to the demands of additive manufacturing. Therefore, only the coaxial LMD powder nozzle is used to create the shielding gas atmosphere, which ensures high geometric flexibility. Furthermore, specimen with high aspect ratio and hundreds of layers are manufactured, which represent typical features in additive manufacturing. The presented study contains the following steps: First, cylindrical specimens are manufactured with a standard shell-core build-up strategy and mechanical properties as well as fracture mechanisms are determined. Based on the results, experiments are conducted to improve the build-up strategy and new tensile test specimens are built with the improved strategy. The improved strategy incorporates variable track overlap ratios to achieve a constant growth in the shell and core area. As blanks, lean cylinders comprising more than 240 layers and a height of more than 120mm are manufactured. The specimens are analyzed by X-ray inspection for material defects. Fractured surfaces are observed via scanning electron microscopy and the composition of the surfaces is determined using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The tensile test results prove mechanical properties close to ASTM F1108 specification for wrought material.

Solidification cracks are one of the most frequently encountered welding defects that hinder obtaining a safe weld joint. Decades of research have shown that one of the main causes of such cracks are the strain and the strain rate. Obtaining meaningful measurements of these strains has always been a major challenge for scientists, because of the specific environment of the measurement range and the many obstacles, as well as the high temperature and the plasma plume. In this study, a special experimental setup with a high-speed camera was employed to measure the strain during the welding process. The hot cracking susceptibility was investigated for 1.4301 stainless steel, and the critical strain required for solidification crack formation was locally and globally determined.

These cracks mostly occurring along the welding direction in the welding center, and strongly affect the safety of the welded components. In the present study, to obtain a better understanding of the relation between the weld pool geometry, the stress distribution and the solidification cracking, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was combined with a thermo-mechanical model. The CFD model was employed to analyze the flow of the molten metal in the weld pool during the laser beam welding process. The weld pool geometry estimated from the CFD model was used as a heat source in the thermal model to calculate the temperature field and the stress development and distributions. The CFD results showed a bulging region in the middle depth of the weld and two narrowing areas separating the bulging region from the top and bottom surface. The thermo-mechanical simulations showed a concentration of tension stresses, transversally and vertically, directly after the solidification during cooling in the region of the solidification cracking.

Combined with gas metal arc welding (GMAW) equipment these lasers can be used in a hybrid process to weld thick-walled constructions single-pass, that are currently welded using multi-pass techniques. The main benefits are a reduction of heat induced distortions, due to the low heat input, as well as savings in filler material and process time. Probable applications can be found in power generation, ship building and pipeline constructions. An orbital (girth) laser-hybrid process using a 20 kW fibre laser and a GMAW torch is currently examined at the BAM, Berlin. The aim of this research is to obtain a stable and crack free girth welding process and to demonstrate its application in pipeline construction. The experiments are carried out on 16 mm thick plates as well pipe rings with 36" (914 mm) pipe diameter of X65. Particular welding parameters, such as welding speed, GMAW power, arc length are varied and their influence on the appearance of the weld in the different welding positions is analyzed. Even though issues remain that demand further research it could already be shown that the rings can be welded using a girth hybrid process that is divided into two half girth processes in downward direction.

Traditionally, dissimilar weld overlays are produced using cold or hot wire gas tungsten arc welding. This study aims to identify and evaluate potential advantages of low heat input gas metal arc welding processes over the conventional gas tungsten arc welding in the production of dissimilar weld overlays. In order to evaluate the quality of these overlays regarding resistance against hydrogen-assisted cracking, their transition zone region is investigated in this part of the publication series. Metallurgical characterization, including energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, is performed on Alloy 625/grade 22 steel overlays. The transition zone is characterized by a narrow planar growth zone and steep compositional gradients from the fusion boundary towards the weld metal. Evidence of low carbon contents in the planar growth zone, as well as for carbide precipitation in the cellular growth zone was found. The microstructure in the transition zone region of the fusion zone shows characteristics known to be suitable for good resistance against hydrogen embrittlement.

It offers high deposition rates, high material flexibility, and the possibility to deposit material on existing components. Due to these features, LMD has been increasingly applied for additive manufacturing of 3D structures in recent years. Compared to previous coating applications, additive manufacturing of 3D structures leads to new challenges regarding LMD process knowledge. In this paper, the process steps for LMD as additive manufacturing technology are described. The experiments are conducted using titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4Vand Inconel 718. Only the LMD nozzle is used to create a shielding gas atmosphere. This ensures the high geometric flexibility needed for additive manufacturing, although issues with the restricted size and quality of the shielding gas atmosphere arise. In the first step, the influence of process parameters on the geometric dimensions of single weld beads is analyzed based on design of experiments. In the second step, a 3D build-up strategy for cylindrical specimen with high dimensional accuracy is described. Process parameters, travel paths, and cooling periods between layers are adjusted. Tensile tests show that mechanical properties in the as-deposited condition are close to wrought material. As practical example, the fir-tree root profile of a turbine blade is manufactured. The feasibility of LMD as additive technology is evaluated based on this component.

The two test specimen welded for this study were designed to feature a variable groove geometry in order to maximize efficiency of the conducted experimental efforts, resulting in 1696 individual weaving cycle records with associated arc sensor measurements, process parameters and groove shape information. Gap width was varied from 18 mm to 25 mm and wire feed rates in the range of 9 m/min to 13 m/min were used in the course of this study. Artificial neural networks were applied as a modelling tool to derive an arc sensor for estimation of gap width suitable for online process control that can adapt to changes in process parameters as well as changes in the weaving motion of the electrode. Wire feed rate, weaving current, sidewall dwell currents and angles were defined as inputs to calculate the gap width.

This paper presents a novel approach to quantify the distortions experimentally and to use the results in numerical simulation validation. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is applied together with optical filters to measure in-situ distortions directly on a wall geometry produced with LMD. The wall shows cyclic Expansion and shrinking with the edges bending inward and the top of the sample exhibiting a slight u-shape as residual distortions. Subsequently, a structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the experiment is established, calibrated against experimental temperature profiles and used to predict the in-situ distortions of the sample. A comparison of the experimental and numerical results reveals a good agreement in length direction of the sample and quantitative deviations in height direction, which are attributed to the material model used. The suitability of the novel experimental approach for measurements on an AM sample is shown and the potential for the validated numerical model as a predictive tool to reduce trial-and-error and improve part quality is evaluated.

High power laser systems with a power of approx. 30 kW are already available on the market. Nevertheless, multi-layer technology with an arc process is still used for welding of plates from a thickness from 20 mm. A potential cause is the process instability with increasing laser power. It is inevitable that gravity drop-out due to the high hydrostatic pressure at increasing wall thickness especially at welding in flat position and with a low welding speed. The surface tension decreases with increasing root width resulting from low welding velocities. To prevent such inadmissible defects of the seam a use of weld pool support is required. Usual weld pool support systems such as ceramic or powder supports require a mechanical detachment which is time-consuming. The electromagnetic weld pool support system described in this work shows an alternative weld pool support which works contactless. It is based on generating Lorentz forces in the weld pool due to oscillating magnetic field and induced eddy currents. This innovative technology offers single pass welds up to 28 mm in flat position and reduced welding velocity with a laser power of just 19 kW. It also leads to improved mechanical-technological properties of the seams because of the slow cooling rate. With usage of an electromagnetic weld pool support the limitation of the hybrid laser arc welding process in the thick sheet metal will be extend.

Because of the process-related temperature and emissions, direct measurement for the arising strain in the close vicinity of the welding process is challenged. therefore, the externally loaded hot cracking testes remain for decades the only way to determine the critical straining conditions for solidification cracking. In this study, a novel optical two-dimensional in situ observation technique has been developed to analyse the strain evaluation during the welding process in the moment of crack formation. Additionally, the Controlled Tensile Weldability test (CTW test) was used to generate the hot crack under different global straining conditions. To record the welding process and the moment of the solidification crack initiation a CMOS camera was used which inserted coaxially into the optical path of the welding laser. As illumination source a diode laser with wave length 808 nm was employed to illuminate the welding region. An interference filter was placed on the camera lens, allowing only the illumination wavelength to pass through and reflecting all other wavelengths, so that the melt pool and the re-solidifying metal could be visualized in a single image. in order to obtain good temporal resolution, the frame rate of the camera was set to 1100 frame per second in. The contrast in images obtained using this unique setup allows to apply the optical flow technique based on Lucas-Kanade (LK) algorithm to follow the pixels in each image sequence and then to calculate the displacement field. The strain was calculated based on the estimated displacement. Using this technique, the local strains and strain rates under different global straining condition has been determined and analysed. The results shown Dependency between the external strain rate and the critical local strain and strain rate has been observed. That is to say, the critical local strain and strain rate are increased with an increase of the strain rate.

A1 - Pittner, Andreas A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Strain-rate controlled Gleeble experiments to determine the stress-strain behavior of HSLA steel S960QL N2 - In order to generate a material data base for computational welding mechanics, temperature and strain-rate dependent stress-strain experiments were performed by using a Gleeble®3500 testing system. The object of the investigation was HSLA transformable steel S960QL and related solid phases as bainite, martensite and austenite. For the production of these solid phases, the base material was heat treated according to an average weld temperature cycle which was extracted within the heat affected zone of a thermal numerical weld simulation of a GMA weld. The hot tensile tests were carried out via cost-saving flat specimen geometries. Two experimental series with different strain-rates were conducted, where the longitudinal strain-rate was controlled by specification of the transversal strain-rate applying Poisson’s-ratio. Subsequently, the resulting stress-strain curves were approximated in accordance with the Ramberg-Osgood-materials law. Consequently, it is shown that the temperature and strain-rate dependent stress-strain behavior of metals can be successfully characterized by means of a Gleeble®-system. However, this requires a control of the longitudinal strain-rate by specification of the transversal strain-rate. The related experimental procedure and the method of evaluation are explained in detail. With regard to all tested solid phases, a significant strain-rate dependency can only be observed upwards from temperatures of 400 °C. Based on experimental results, Ramberg-Osgood-parameters will be presented to describe the stress-strain behavior of steel S960QL and related solid phases for temperatures between 25 °C and 1200 °C. Furthermore, the use of costsaving flat specimen-geometry appears reasonable. N2 - Für die Generierung einer Materialdatenbank zur Schweißstruktursimulation wurden temperatur- und dehnratenabhängige Spannungs-Dehnungsexperimente unter Einsatz einer Gleeble® 3500-Anlage durchgeführt. Als Untersuchungsgegenstand diente der hochfeste niedriglegierte Feinkornbaustahl S960QL und seine zugehörigen Festphasen Bainit, Martensit und Austenit. Zur Herstellung dieser Festphasen wurde der Grundwerkstoff Wärmebehandlungen ausgesetzt, welche die charakteristischen Merkmale eines durchschnittlichen Schweißzeittemperaturzyklus aufweisen. Dieser Temperaturzyklus wurde aus der Wärmeeinflusszone eines numerisch nachgebildeten Temperaturfeldes einer MAG-Schweißverbindung extrahiert. Die Zugversuche wurden an einer kostengünstig herzustellenden Flachprobengeometrie durchgeführt, wobei zwei Experimentalreihen mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Dehnraten realisiert wurden. Die resultierenden Spannungs-Dehnungskurven wurden durch die Ramberg-Osgood-Beziehung approximiert. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass das temperatur- und dehnratenabhängige Spannungs-Dehnungsverhalten von Metallen durch die Anwendung eines Gleeble®-Systems erfolgreich charakterisiert werden kann. Die Einstellung der Längsdehnrate muss dabei durch die Kontrolle der Querdehnrate unter Berücksichtigung des Poisson-Verhältnisses erfolgen. Die experimentellen Prozeduren und die zugehörigen Auswertemethodiken wurden detailliert erläutert. Für alle getesteten Festphasen wurde ein signifikanter Dehnrateneinfluss erst für Temperaturen ab 400 °C aufwärts beobachtet. Die anhand der Messergebnisse abgeleiteten Ramberg-Osgood-Parameter zur Beschreibung des Verfestigungsverhaltens für den Temperaturbereich zwischen 25 °C und 1200 °C werden vollständig präsentiert.

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.

In this case, the laser power has an influence on the width of the track because of an increasing energy input. A larger melt pool is caused by a rising temperature. In the case of a longer welding process, there is also a rise in temperature, resulting in a change of the track geometry. This paper deals with the temperature profiles of different zigzag strategies and spiral strategies for additive manufacturing. A two-color pyrometer is used for temperature measurement on the component surface near the melt pool. Thermocouples measure the temperatures in deeper regions of a component. The welds are located in the center and in the edge area on a test part to investigate the temperature evolution under different boundary conditions. The experiments are carried out on substrates made from mild steel 1.0038 and with the filler material 316L. The investigations show an influence on the temperature evolution by the travel path strategy as well as the position on the part. This shows the necessity for the development and selection of build-up strategies for different part geometries in additive manufacturing by LMD.

A1 - Goecke, S.F. A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Laser beam oscillation welding for automotive applications N2 - Laser beam oscillation, applied one- or two-dimensional to the actual welding process, influences the welding process in terms of compensation of tolerances and reduction of process emissions like spatter and melt ejections that occur in industrial applications, such as in body-in-white manufacturing. If the welding process could be adapted to these tolerances by the momentarily demanded melt pool width to generate sufficient melt volume or to influence melt pool dynamics, e.g. for a better degassing, laser welding would become more robust. However, beam oscillation results are highly dependent on the natural frequency of the melt pool, the used spot diameter and the oscillation speed of the laser beam. The conducted investigations with an oscillated 300 μm laser spot show that oscillation strategies which are adjusted to the joining situation can bridge gaps to approximately 0.6 mm at metal sheet thickness of 0.8 mm. However, the complex behaviour of the melt pool has to be considered to generate proper welding results. This work puts emphasis on showing aspects of beam oscillation in fillet welding in lap joints.

A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Susceptibility of electrolytically galvanized dual-phase steel sheets to liquid metal embrittlement during resistance spot welding N2 - Modern advanced high-strength steel sheets for automotive applications are mostly zinc coated for corrosion resistance. However, the presence of zinc can—besides its positive effects—increase the material’s susceptibility to liquid metal embrittlement (LME) during resistance spot welding (RSW). Zinc and its eutectics are, due to their low melting point, present in liquid state during the welding process. This fact can, in combination with other factors like tensile strains or stresses, lead to the formation of brittle, intergranular cracks in the weld, and heat-affected zone. This phenomenon is commonly called liquid metal embrittlement. In order to understand the process from a practical perspective, one must learn what factors facilitate it. In this study, industry-relevant parameters are investigated regarding their influence on the occurrence of LME, embodied by the formation of surface cracks. It was found that electrode wear has less of an influence on the cracking susceptibility than welding current or tensile stresses. Finite element analysis is believed to provide a powerful tool in order to gain insights on the formation process. Modeling of the process shows promising initial results, revealing the underlying local stress and strain fields, unmeasurable with common techniques.

Impact fracture toughness values with much lower mismatching were obtained for laser beam welded joints due to similarity in the microstructures of its weld metal and HAZ. In this case, the lower impact fracture toughness obtained (1.37J/mm2) was much higher than that of the GTA welded joints (0.78J/mm2), which was very close to the specified minimum value (≥0.75J/mm2). In contrast to other research works, the overall tensile and impact properties are influenced not only by the fusion zone microstructure but also by the size of its hardened area as well as the degree of its mechanical mismatching, as a function of the welding process. A better combination of tensile strength and impact toughness of the concerned steel welded joints is assured by autogenous laser beam welding process.

The model studies circular and lateral oscillations in order to reduce the porosity of the deposited part, to increase the process efficiency and the gap bridging ability as well. The deposition rate is increased by modifying the shape and the width of the molten pool through an optimized laser beam power distribution and oscillation amplitude. The relationship between the process conditions and the shape of the fabricated part are determined. It is found that an increase of the amplitude by a lateral oscillation of the beam reduces the heat flux and hence the shape of the deposited wall. A good correlation between the numerically calculated results and the experimental measurements is obtained.

Das Laserpulverauftragschweißen (LPA) wurde anfangs hauptsächlich als Beschichtungsverfahren eingesetzt. Diese Technologie bewerkstelligt aber auch das Reparieren von verschlissenen Bauteilen, sodass diese zeitsparend und ressourcenschonend erneuert werden können. Die hohe Aufbaurate, die flexible Pulverzusammensetzung sowie die hohe Endkonturnähe ermöglichen die Entwicklung und additive Fertigung von neuen Materialien. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrages wurde das Verfahren des Laserpulverauftragschweißens zur additiven Fertigung von Nickel-Titan-Formgedächtnislegierungen angewandt. Diese Legierungsgruppe ist aufgrund der Eigenschaft der Gestalterinnerung ein äußerst interessantes Legierungssystem mit unterschiedlichen Anwendungsbereichen, wie zum Beispiel in der Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik sowie in der Medizintechnik. Zur Erzeugung einer äquiatomaren NiTi-Legierung wurden die Elementpulver in einem Verhältnis von 55,9 wt.% Nickel und 44,1 wt.% Titan miteinander vermischt. Das Auftragen von Einzelspuren, Schichten und dreidimensionalen Körpern erfolgte auf unterschiedlichen Substratplatten aus Titan-, Nickel- und Nickeltitanlegierungen. Die metallographischen Untersuchungen zeigten, dass sich in Abhängigkeit des Substratmaterials unterschiedliche Phasen ausbilden und Risse vom Substrat durch den additiven Aufbau auftreten. Bei mehrlagigem Aufbau kam es sogar zur Ablösung des additiven Aufbaus von der Substratplatte. Der artgleiche additive Aufbau, sprich NiTi-Legierung auf einem NiTi-Substrat (Ni50,8Ti49,2 in at.%), führte zur keiner Materialablösung.

Durch die flexible Anordnung separierter Implants zu komplexen Mustern erlaubt das Verfahren eine gezielte Oberflächenstrukturierung zur Beeinflussung des Reibungs- und Verschleißverhaltens. Insbesondere erwies sich Titandiborid (TiB2) als Implantationsmaterial für geeignet, da eine Manipulation der Implantgeometrie in einem breiten Bereich vorgenommen werden kann, ohne dass Materialdefekte, wie Risse oder Poren auftreten. Zudem weisen die Implants auf Kaltarbeitsstahlwerkzeugen Härtewerte von bis zu 1800 HV1 auf. Hierdurch lassen laserimplantierte Oberflächen eine deutlich höhere Verschleißbeständigkeit im Vergleich zu umschmelzstrukturierten Wirkflächen erwarten. Daher eignet sich das Verfahren insbesondere zur Strukturierung hochbelasteter Wirkflächen, wie sie an Umform- oder Schneidwerkzeugen zu finden sind. Ziel der Untersuchungen ist es, den Einfluss laserimplantierter TiB2-Partikel auf die Materialeigenschaften von X153CrMoV12 zu erkennen und geeignete Parameterbereiche zur Oberflächenstrukturierung zu identifizieren. Hierfür wurden im Rahmen der Arbeit die Laserparameter (Pulsleistung und -dauer) in einem breiten Parameterfeld variiert und vergleichende Untersuchungen an punktuell wiederaufgeschmolzenen Zonen sowie an TiB2 implantierten Zonen durchgeführt. High-Speed-Kameraaufnahmen ermöglichten die Beschreibung der Partikeleinbringung aus Vorbeschichtungen. Des Weiteren wurden an Schliffen (Mikro-) Härtemessungen durchgeführt, um die die Materialeigenschaften zu charakterisieren und den Einfluss der eingebrachten Hartstoffpartikel feststellen zu können. Die Materialmikrostruktur wurde abschließend an lichtmikroskopischen- sowie elektronenmikroskopischen Aufnahmen erfasst. Mithilfe der energiedispersiven Röntgenspektroskopie (EDX) sowie der Röntgendiffraktometrie (XRD) wurden die implantierten Bereiche hinsichtlich gebildeter Phasen analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine reine Umschmelzstrukturierung zu einer deutlichen Reduktion der Oberflächenhärte aufgrund hoher Restaustenitgehalte (γR) führt. Im Gegensatz dazu führt das Laserimplantieren von TiB2-Partikeln zu einer deutlichen Härtesteigerung in den kuppel- oder ringförmigen Implants. Härtewerte von bis zu 1800 HV1 resultieren aus dispergierten TiB2-Primärpartikeln sowie in-situ ausgeschiedenen Sekundärphasen, durch die der Restaustenitanteil deutlich reduziert wird.

Here complete-penetration keyhole laser beam welding with a laser power of 18 kW on a 15 mm thick slab of a low-alloyed steel at a welding speed of 2 m/min is considered. In order to physically depict the laser material interaction a multi-physics numerical model including the effects of phase transformation, thermo-capillary convection, natural convection and temperature-dependent material properties up to evaporation temperature is developed. It uses a fixed keyhole geometry with a right truncated circular cone shape to introduce the laser beam energy to the workpiece. In a subsequent study, the resulting local temperature field is then used as an equivalent heat source in order to predict the unsteady thermal cycle during and after fusion welding. The translational movement of the laser beam through the workpiece is represented by a moving mesh approach. For the simulation, stationary heat transfer and fluid dynamics are described by a system of strongly coupled partial differential equations. These are solved with the commercial finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics 5.0. The results of the numerical simulation are validated by experiments, where the weld bead shapes and the thermal cycles show good correlation.

The developments in hybrid laser-arc welding technology using modern high-power lasers allow single-pass welding of thick materials. This technology can be used for the heavy metal industries such as shipbuilding, power plant fabrication, and line-pipe manufacturing. The obvious problem for single-pass welding is the growth of the hydrostatic pressure with increasing thickness of materials leading to drop-out of molten metal. This phenomenon is aggravated at slow welding velocities because of increasing weld seam width followed by a decrease of Laplace pressure compensating the hydrostatic pressure. Therefore, weld pool support is necessary by welding of thick materials with slow welding velocities. The innovative electromagnetic weld pool support system is contactless and has been used successfully for laser beam welding of aluminum alloys and austenitic and ferromagnetic steels. The support system is based on generating Lorentz forces within the weld pool. These are produced by an oscillating magnetic field orientated perpendicular to the welding direction. The electromagnetic weld pool support facilitates a decrease in the welding speed without a sagging and drop-out of the melt thus eliminating the limitations of weldable material thickness.

The obvious encountered problem for single pass welding in flat position is the gravity drop-out at low welding velocities. With the usage of an electromagnetic weld pool support system, which is based on generating Lorentz forces within the weld pool, wide seams followed by reduced welding velocities could be achieved in this study leading to the realization of a gap bridgeability up to 1 mm, misalignment of edges up to 2 mm and a single pass weld up to 28 mm thickness with a 20-kW fibre laser.

A1 - Gumenyuk, Andrey A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Full penetration hybrid laser arc welding of up to 28 mm thick S355 plates using electromagnetic weld pool support N2 - The laser hybrid welding process offers many advantages regarding deep penetration, increased welding velocity and with the help of the supplied filler wire an improved bridgeability to gap and misalignment tolerances. High power laser systems with a power of approx. 30 kW are already available on the market. Nevertheless, multi-layer technology with an arc process is still used for welding of plates from a thickness from 20 mm. A potential cause is the process instability with increasing laser power. It is inevitable that gravity drop-out due to the high hydrostatic pressure at increasing wall thickness especially at welding in flat position and with a low welding speed. The surface tension decreases with increasing root width resulting from low welding velocities. To prevent such inadmissible defects of the seam a use of weld pool support is required. Usual weld pool support systems such as ceramic or powder supports require a mechanical detachment which is time-consuming. The electromagnetic weld pool support system described in this work shows an alternative weld pool support which works contactless. It is based on generating Lorentz forces in the weld pool due to oscillating magnetic field and induced eddy currents. This innovative technology offers single pass welds up to 28 mm in flat position and reduced welding velocity with a laser power of just 19 kW. It also leads to improved mechanical-technological properties of the seams because of the slow cooling rate. With usage of an electromagnetic weld pool support the limitation of the hybrid laser arc welding process in the thick sheet metal will be extend.

Ein Verfahren, welches sich neben der Herstellung von Beschichtungen besonders für diese Anwendungen eignet, ist das Laser-Pulver-Auftragschweißen. Es wird besonders für Reparaturen bzw. zur Herstellung von teuren Bauteilen, wie Werkzeuge oder Turbinenteilen, eingesetzt. Da diese Teile oft großen mechanischen sowie thermischen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind, ist es besonders wichtig, dass die erzeugte Struktur eine hohe Qualität aufweist. In dieser Arbeit wird die statistische Versuchsplanung genutzt, um Modelle für die Oberflächenbeschaffenheiten von Inconel 718 zu generieren. Als Grundlage dient hierbei ein zentral zusammengesetzter Versuchsplan mit großem Parameterfenster. So wird die Leistung zwischen 550 Watt und 1950 Watt, der Vorschub von 530 mm/min bis 920 mm/min, der Pulvermassenstrom von 3 g/min bis 12 g/min sowie der Spotdurchmesser von 1 mm bis 2 mm variiert. Auf diese Weise wird die Spurgeometrie beeinflusst. Darüber hinaus wird das Überlappungsverhältnis zwischen 20% bis 50% verändert. Die Auswertung der Oberflächenbeschaffenheit erfolgt mit dem auf der Fokusvariation basierendem Oberflächenmessgerät Alicona Infinite-Focus. Dieses Verfahren der 3D Mikrokoordinatenmesstechnik gewährleistet eine zuverlässige Auswertung der Spurgeometrie, der Welligkeit sowie die Messung der mittleren arithmetischen Höhe Sa zur Bestimmung der Oberflächenrauheit. Anschließend werden die generierten Modelle verifiziert. Ziel dabei ist, kostenintensive Vorversuche in Zukunft einzusparen. Darüber hinaus wird das Prozessverständnis erweitert und signifikante Einflussfaktoren identifiziert.

Few investigations on the origins of porosity are available, especially for Ni-based super alloys. This paper presents a new study to examine the influence of common processing Parameters on the Formation of pores in parts built by laser metal Deposition using Inconel 718 powder. Further, a comparison between the computed tomography (CT) and the Archimedes method was made. The Investigation Shows that CT is able to identify different kinds of pores and to give further Information about their distribution. The identification of some pores as well as their shape can be dependent on the Parameter Setting of the Analysis tool. Due to limited measurement Resolution, CT is not able to identify correctly pores with Diameters smaller than 0.1 mm, which leads to a false decrease on Overall porosity. The applied Archimedes method is unable to differentiate between gas porosity and other Kinds of holes like internal cracks or lack of Fusion, but it delivered a proper value for Overall porosity. The method was able to provide suitable data for the statistical Evaluation with design of Experiments, which revealed significant Parameters ont he Formation of pores in LMD.

The prime objective in combining LMD and PTA as a Hybrid Metal Deposition-Technology (HMD) is to achieve high Deposition rates at low thermal Impact. Possible applications are coatings for wear protection or repair welding for components made of steel. The two energy sources (laser and Plasma arc) build a Joint process Zone and are configurated to constitute a stable process at laser powers between 0.4-1 kW (defocused) and Plasma currents between 75-200 A. Stainless steel 316L serves as filler material. For this HMD process, a Plasma Cu-nozzle is designed and produced by powder bed based Selective Laser Melting. The potential of the HMD Technology is investigated and discussed considering existing process. This paper demonstrates how the interaction of the two energy sources effects the following application-relevant properties: Deposition rate, powder Efficiency and energy Input.

The proposed model consists of two coupled sub-models calculating the heat transfer in the deposited part and the free surface of the molten pool, respectively. The heat transfer simulation of the deposited part solves a three-dimensional quasi-stationary heat conduction problem. The free surface of the molten pool are determined by solving the Laplace-Young equation. The developed model enables the layer-by-layer prediction of the shape of the deposited part and the resulting temperature field. It is shown that for an oscillation amplitude equal to the beam radius the peak value of the heat flux decreases by about 53% and 73% in the case of lateral oscillation and circular oscillation, respectively. Lateral oscillating laser beam results in a higher penetration depth due to the higher thermal efficiency. The amplitude of the laser beam oscillation effects the shape of the deposited wall and the deposition rate. A good correlation between the numerically calculated and experimentally observed results is obtained.

Verschiedene Verfahren der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung, wie Thermografie, optische Tomografie, optische Emissionsspektroskopie, Wirbelstromprüfung und Laminografie werden in verschiedenen AM-Prozessen zum Einsatz gebracht und die Ergebnisse fusioniert. Die evaluierten Ergebnisse werden mit Referenzverfahren wie Computertomografie und Ultraschall-Tauchtechnik verglichen. Ziel ist eine deutliche Reduzierung aufwändiger und zeitintensiver, zerstörender oder zerstörungsfreier Prüfungen nach der Fertigung des Bauteiles und zugleich eine Verringerung von Ausschussproduktion. Hier wird das Projekt als Ganzes vorgestellt und der Fokus auf verschiedene Methoden der Temperaturmessung mit Hilfe der Thermografie gelegt.

The results obtained contribute to the development and conversion in the industrial practice a new laser beam-based welding technology for the automated manufacturing of facilities for the liquefaction, storage and the transport of natural gases (LNG facilities). The results show, that the martensitic microstructure of the laser weld metal including low amount of retained austenite not exceeding 3.5% leads to the relatively low V-notch impact energy. The remarkable heterogeneity in the chemical composition of the weld metal through the weld thickness could be recognized in the case of hybrid-laser-arc welding with ERNiCrMo-3 austenitic filler metal, what also led to insufficient impact toughness of the weld metall. The most promising results could be achieved by using 11%Ni filler wire, which is similar to the base metal and provides a homogeneous microstructure with uniform distribution of Ni through the weld seam. It is remarkable, that a correlation between Charpy impact toughness and wire feeding speed and respectively process heat input exists. The highest toughness values were 134±58 J at -196C. The both laser as well as laser-hybrid welds passed the tensile test. The failure stress of 720±3 MPa with a fracture location in the base material was achieved for all samples tested.
