Die aktuelle Normung bezüglich mikroskopischer Untersuchungen von Schweißverbindungen und die Zulässigkeit von Mikrorissen sowie deren Definition ist nicht eindeutig. Nach der Darstellung derzeit gültiger Normen im Bereich der Bewertung von Schweißnähten, Qualifizierung von Schweißverfahren und Ausführung von Schweißverbindungen, wird auf Grundlage aktueller Schweißversuche an hochfesten vergüteten Feinkornbaustählen die Problematik von Mikrorissen diskutiert. Offene Punkte und Fragen bzw. Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten werden aufgezeigt und zur Diskussion gestellt. Schließlich wird auf die Klärung des Einflusses von Mikrorissen auf die mechanisch- technologischen Werkstoffkennwerte der Schweißverbindung unter statischer sowie zyklischer Beanspruchung hingewiesen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither the latest standardisation with regard to microscopic investigations on welded joints nor the permissibility of microcracks and their definition are unambiguous. According to the representation of currently applicable standards in the fields of the assessment of welds, the qualification of welding processes and the execution of welded joints, the problems associated with microcracks are discussed on the basis of the latest welding tests on high-strength quenched-and-tempered fine-grained structural steels. Not only outstanding points and questions but also improvement possibilities are indicated and opened for discussion. Finally, attention is drawn to the clarification of the influence of microcracks on the mechanical- technological material parameters of the welded joint subjected to both static and cyclic stresses.
Microcrack formation during gas metal arc welding of high-strength fine-grained structural steel
(2014)
The recent development of high-performance-modified spray arc processes in gas metal arc welding due to modern digital control technology and inverter power sources enables a focused spray arc, which results in higher penetration depths and welding speed. However, microcracks occurred in the weld metal while approaching the process limits of the modified spray arc, represented by a 20-mm double layer DV-groove butt-weld. These cracks were detected in structural steel exhibiting a yield strength level of up to 960 MPa and are neither dependent on the used weld power source nor a consequence of the modified spray arc process itself. The metallographic and fractographic investigations of the rather exceptional fracture surface lead to the classification of the microcracks as hot cracks. The effects of certain welding parameters on the crack probability are clarified using a statistical design of experiment. However, these microcracks do not impact the design specification for toughness in the Charpy V-notch test (absorbed energy at -40 °C for the present material is 30 J).
Grain refinement is an important possibility to enhance the mechanical properties such as strength, ductility and toughness of aluminium weld metal. In this study, grain refinement was achieved through the addition of commercial grain refiner Al Ti5B1 to gas tungsten arc weld metal of the aluminium alloys 1050A (Al 99.5) and 5083 (Al Mg4.5Mn0.7). The grain refiner additions led to a significant reduction of the weld metal mean grain size (Alloy 1050A, 86 %; Alloy 5083, 44 %) with a change in grain shape from columnar to equiaxed. Tensile tests showed for Alloy 5083 that the weld metal's ductility can be increased through grain refinement. No improvement in weld metal strength (i.e. yield strength and ultimate tensile strength) was observed. Furthermore, tear tests with notched specimens revealed that the resistance against initiation and propagation of cracks in the weld metal can be enhanced through grain refinement. The toughness was observed to increase clearly by grain refinement in weld metal of commercial pure Al (Alloy 1050A). In Alloy 5083 weld metal, the toughness was not improved through grain refinement, likely because of a semi-continuous network of brittle intermetallic phases that facilitate crack propagation.
Komplexe Bauteile ohne Fügestellen sind die Spezialität additiver Verfahren. Immer deutlicher wird der Wert dieser Technologie für den Turbomaschinenbau, etwa bei der Fertigung von Turbinenschaufeln mit inneren Kühlstrukturen. Wichtig für vorbildgetreue Turbinenkomponenten: Die Technologie ermöglicht die Fertigung von Freiformen und Hinterschnitten, von außen- und innenliegenden filigranen, komplexen Strukturen als Einzelteil - und das in einem einzigen Arbeitsschritt. Des Weiteren benötigen additive Verfahren keine formgebenden Werkzeuge und weisen demnach kürzere Prozessketten im Vergleich zu konventionellen Herstellungsverfahren auf. Wirtschaftliche Vorteile kommen vor allem bei kleinen Losgrößen und Bauteilabmessungen zur Geltung.
In diesem Artikel werden am Beispiel einer Turbinenschaufel Schlüsseltechnologien einer additiven Prozesskette gezeigt. Zunächst erfolgt die additive Fertigung einer Turbinenschaufel mittels Selective Laser Melting (SLM). Das Verfahren ermöglicht die Integration innenliegender Kühlkanäle. An dieser Schaufel wird anschließend mittels Laser-PulverAuftragschweißen (LPA) die Reparatur unterschiedlicher Beschädigungen demonstriert. Im nächsten Schritt der Prozesskette bietet ein optischer 3D-Scan der Schaufel die Möglichkeit zur Qualitätskontrolle und zum Vergleich der Bauteilabmessungen mit der Sollgeometrie.
Modeling of gas metal arc welding process using an analytically determined volumetric heat source
(2013)
High peak temperature and continuous deposition of electrode droplets in the weld puddle inhibit real-time monitoring of thermal cycles and bead dimensions in gas metal arc welding. A three-dimensional numerical heat transfer model is presented here to compute temperature field and bead dimensions considering a volumetric heat source to account for the transfer of arc energy into the weld pool. The heat source dimensions are analytically estimated as function of welding conditions and original joint geometry. The deposition of electrode material is modeled using deactivation and activation of discrete elements in a presumed V-groove joint geometry. The computed values of bead dimensions and thermal cycles are validated with the corresponding measured results. A comparison of the analytically estimated heat source dimensions and the corresponding numerically computed bead dimensions indicate that the former could rightly serve as the basis for conduction heat transfer based models of gas metal arc welding process.
During laser beam welding of aluminum alloys an electromagnetic field may favour pore outgassing through the top oxide layer. High frequencies cause a small penetration depth and thus exert a stabilizing effect on the weld surface. The point at which the laser beam between the two magnetic poles hits the workpiece surface is crucial to the influence of the magnetic field on the weld surface roughness. Using analyzed parameters for different laser points of application cause a change in weld surface roughness could be observed. The weld surface roughness could be reduced by 50%. The outgassing effect in terms of a reduction of pores could be observed for all parameter sets investigated.
Unter den rauen Bedingungen in der Automobilkarosseriefertigung lassen sich schweißbedingte Imperfektionen wie Risse beim Widerstandspunktschweißen von hochfesten Stählen nicht immer vermeiden. Dabei ist der Einfluss solcher Risse auf die Schwingfestigkeit insbesondere von modernen hochfesten austenitischen Stählen derzeit nicht hinreichend bekannt. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde daher der Einfluss von Schweißrissen verschiedener Lage und Ausbildung untersucht. Dabei konnte durch die Analyse der normierten Steifigkeitsverläufe von Proben sowie durch die Gegenüberstellung der Versagensschwingspielzahlen nachgewiesen werden, dass die spritzerfrei erzeugten Oberflächenrisse im Zentrum, im Übergangsbereich sowie im Randbereich der Schweißlinse keinen negativen Einfluss auf die Schwingfestigkeit des hier untersuchten hochfesten austenitischen Werkstoffs haben. Proben, die mit Schweißspritzern hergestellt wurden und Risse im Randbereich aufweisen, zeigen deutliche höhere Versagensschwingspielzahlen als rissfreie Referenzproben. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the rough conditions in the fabrication of automobile bodies, it is not always possible to avoid welding-induced imperfections such as cracks during the resistance spot welding of highstrength steels. In this respect, the influence of such cracks on the fatigue strength particularly of modern high-strength austenitic steels is not sufficiently well-known at present. The influence of welding cracks with various positions and formations was therefore investigated within the framework of this paper. In this case, the analysis of the standardised stiffness courses of specimens and the comparison of the numbers of failure stress cycles served to prove that the surface cracks produced without any spatter in the centre, interfacial region and peripheral region of the weld nugget do not have any negative influence on the fatigue strength of the high-strength austenitic material investigated here. Specimens which were manufactured with welding spatter and exhibit cracks in the peripheral region show considerably higher numbers of failure stress cycles than crack-free reference specimens.
In various applications, welding-induced residual stresses have a substantial impact on the integrity of welded constructions. Tensile residual stress can promote stress-corrosion cracking, brittle fracture, and reduces the fatigue life in service, as well as influences component design due to critical stress concentrations within the component.
In the present paper, a six bead multi-pass gas metal arc weld of 20 mm thick structural steel S355J2+N is experimentally and numerically investigated. The studies include transient 2D and 3D numerical calculations which consider temperature-dependent material properties, phase transformations, 'thermal' tempering, transformation plasticity, volume change due to phase transformation, an elasticplastic material model, and isotropic strain hardening. The experimentally determined and calculated residual stresses are in a good agreement. Furthermore, the influence of the preheat and interpass temperature on welding-induced residual stresses is shown in the present investigation.
Longitudinal residual stresses in beam welds ranging at the value of the local yield strength can diminish the lifespan of components. To extend the service life of welds special methods of welding residual stress reduction were developed earlier which are however not effective for beam welds in complex component geometries. Application of beam welding sources for postwelding heat treatment of components has become a flexible tool for reducing longitudinal stresses in beam welds. Such heat treatment in a specific transversal distance to the weld by a defocused beam results in huge stress reductions depending on the used process parameters. Experimental results for ferritic and austenitic steels reveal weld stress reductions to up to compressive stresses. For different materials and diverse material thicknesses special process parameter regions have to be used in this procedure. At a transmission component this procedure shows a stress reduction by >300 MPa.
This article studies the three dimensional transient weld pool dynamics and the influence of groove angle on welding of low carbon structural steel plates using the ForceArc® process. The deformation of the weld bead is also calculated with an accurate coupling of the heat transfer with fluid flow through continuity, momentum and the energy equations combined with the effect of droplet impingement, gravity, electromagnetic force, buoyancy, drag forces and surface tension force (Marangoni effect). Different angles of V groove are employed under the same welding parameters and their influence on the weld pool behavior and weld bead geometry is calculated and analyzed, which is needed for subsequent calculations of residual stress and distortion of the workpiece.
Such a simulation is an effective way to study welding processes because the influence of all welding parameters can be analyzed separately with respect to heat transfer, weld pool dynamic, and microstructure of the weld. Good agreement is found between the predicted and experimentally determined weld bead cross-section and temperature cycles. It is found that the main flow pattern is more or less the same although the groove angle increases, but it will evoke larger amount of fluid to flow downward to get deeper penetration.
Schweißzugeigenspannungen in Strahlschweißnähten auf Höhe der lokalen Werkstoffstreckgrenze können die Bauteileigenschaften sowie deren Lebensdauer beeinflussen. Die Nutzung der Schweißquelle für eine nachträgliche Behandlung der geschweißten Bauteile bietet eine kostengünstige und flexible Methode zur Reduzierung dieser Spannungen. Dabei wird durch einen oszillierenden defokussierten Elektronen- bzw. Laserstrahl der Werkstoff beidseitig der Schweißnaht auf mehrere hundert Grad Celsius erwärmt, um dort zusätzliche Zugspannungsbereiche hervorzurufen. Die so erzeugten Längszugspannungszonen führen zu einer mechanischen Entlastung der Schweißnaht. Experimentelle Messungen zeigen, dass die Längseigenspannungen in der Schweißnaht mit diesem Verfahren um bis zu 70% reduziert werden können. Hierbei wurde neben der experimentellen Untersuchung dieses Verfahrens an Linearnähten an 5 mm dicken Blechen des Werkstoffs S355J2+N auch eine umfassende Analyse der Einflüsse der Verfahrensparameter auf die Spannungsreduktion mittels FEMSimulation durchgeführt. Anhand der Ergebnisse wird der Entlastungsmechanismus diskutiert. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Residual tensile welding stresses in beam welds at the level of the local yield strength of the material may influence the properties of components as well as their service lives. The utilisation of the welding source for the subsequent treatment of the welded components offers a cost-favourable and flexible method of reducing these stresses. In this respect, an oscillating defocused electron or laser beam serves to heat the material on both sides of the weld up to several hundred degrees Celsius in order to induce additional tensile stress regions there. The longitudinal tensile stress zones produced in this way lead to the mechanical relief of the weld. Experimental measurements show that the longitudinal residual stresses in the weld can be reduced by up to 70% with this process. In this case, not only was the experimental investigation into this process conducted on linear welds on 5 mm thick sheets made of the S355J2+N material but a comprehensive analysis of the influences of the process parameters on the stress reduction was also made by means of FEM simulation. The relief mechanism is discussed on the basis of the results.

In weiteren experimentellen Untersuchungen wird dieses Verfahren für kompliziertere Schweißnahtgeometrien getestet. An axialen sowie radialen Rundnähten an ferritischen Werkstoffen konnten ebenfalls hohe Spannungsreduktionen von über 50% erzielt werden. Zudem wurde dieses Verfahren mit einer für das Schweißen üblichen Laserstrahlschweißoptik ohne Scan-Funktion geprüft. Hierbei zeigte das Wärmebehandeln in zwei Arbeitsschritten noch größere Spannungsreduktionen im Vergleich zur Anwendung einer Laserstrahlscanneroptik zur quasisimultanen Wärmebehandlung auf beiden Seiten der Schweißnaht. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Residual tensile welding stresses in beam welds at the level of the local yield strength of the material may influence the properties of components as well as their service lives. The utilisation of the welding source for the subsequent treatment of the welded components offers a cost-favourable and flexible method of reducing these stresses. In this respect, an oscillating defocused electron or laser beam serves to heat the material on both sides of the weld up to several hundred degrees Celsius in order to induce additional tensile stress regions there. The longitudinal tensile stress zones produced in this way lead to the mechanical relief of the weld. Experimental measurements of the longitudinal residual stresses on linear electron and laser beam welds in the first part of the article showed that the stresses can be reduced by up to 70% with this process. In further experimental investigations, this process is tested for more complicated weld geometries. It was also possible to achieve great reductions in the stresses (over 50%) on both axial and radial circular welds on ferritic materials. Moreover, this process was tested with laser beam welding optics which are customary for welding and do not perform a scanning function. In this respect, the heat treatment in two work steps showed even greater reductions in the stresses in comparison with the application of laser beam scanner optics for quasi-simultaneous heat treatment on both sides of the weld.
Refinement of the weld metal grain structure can improve the mechanical properties of the weld and decrease the susceptibility to solidification cracking of the weld metal. In this study, commercial Al Ti5B1 grain refiner was used to refine the microstructure of LB (laser beam) and GTA (gas tungsten arc) aluminum welds by inoculation. The grain refiner additions led to a significant decrease in the weld metal mean grain size whereby a transition from columnar to equiaxed grain structure (Columnar to Equiaxed Transition, CET) was observed. The development of both grain size and shape depended upon the base metal (Al alloys 1050A, 5083 and 6082) and upon the welding process. The GTA welding process allowed a more pronounced and a more efficient refinement than in LB welds. Furthermore, the influence of the solidification conditions on the CET was investigated through temperature measurements in the weld metal. The temperature profiles revealed a faster solidification of LB welds than in GTA welds. The results from the temperature measurements were also used to estimate (according to an existing model) the critical thermal gradient at which the CET occurs.

Austenitic and austenitic-ferritic CrMnNi-stainless steels are suitable materials in the transport and automotive industry due to their high corrosion resistance and high strength that allows weight and cost savings. This study focuses on the laser weldability of a commercial lean duplex and an austenitic high manganese stainless steel. The impact of different laser sources, i.e. a 5 kW CO2- and a 4 kW Nd:YAG-laser, and of the main process parameters on the resulting weld quality will be investigated. One important aspect will concern the appearance of weld defects such as pores and hot cracks. The factors causing such internal imperfections will be analysed in order to find effective methods for preventing them. Weld microstructure and the associated corrosion and mechanical properties will be assessed with different techniques and adequate process parameters for high quality welds will be determined. The advantages and limitations of the applied welding processes will be evaluated for future applications.
