Numerical simulation of component and assembly behaviour under different loading conditions is a main tool for safety design in automobile body shell mass production. Knowledge of local material behaviour is fundamental to such simulation tests. As a contribution to the verification of simulation results, the local deformation properties of spot-welded similar and dissimilar material joints in shear tension tests were investigated in this study for a TRIP steel (HCT690T) and a micro-alloyed steel (HX340LAD). For this reason, the local strain distribution was calculated by the digital image correlation technique (DIC). On the basis of the hardness values and microstructure of the spot welds, the differences in local strain between the selected material combinations are discussed. Additionally, the retained austenite content in the TRIP steel was analysed to explain the local strain values. Results obtained in this study regarding similar material welds suggest significant lower local strain values of the TRIP steel HCT690T compared to HX340LAD. One reason could be the decrease of retained austenite in the welded area. Furthermore, it has been ascertained that the local strain in dissimilar material welds decreases for each component compared with the corresponding similar material weld.
Joining of ultra high strength steels for lightweight body shell design in automobile manufacturing
(2010)
A method is reported with which heat affected zone (HAZ) cracks in a specific region of spot welded joints, made of advanced high strength steels, could be realised. The influence of HAZ cracks on the fatigue behaviour, which is the focus of the contribution, was studied by evaluating the stiffness characteristics as a function of the number of cycles N in comparison with crack-free specimens, i.e. by analysing HAZ and fatigue cracks on the specimen surface and the surface of fatigue fractures containing beach marks. It was found that the fatigue cracks are not initiated at the HAZ cracks. The number of cycles to failure Nf is not significantly reduced for specimens with HAZ cracks. Overall, the examinations did not reveal any influence of HAZ cracks on the fatigue strength of resistance spot welded joints.
Extended weldability lobes in resistance spot welding of advanced high strength steels (AHSS)
(2009)
Resistance spot welded joints made of two advanced high strength steels (AHSS) and one high strength steel (HSS) were examined. In the high cycle fatigue regime tests were realised for one loading condition, and the load and the displacement were measured. From the load and displacement range, the stiffness was calculated and in situ normalised to its value after 1000 cycles. It was thus possible to use the normalised stiffness evaluated during the experiment as failure criterion for the fatigue test of resistance spot welded joints. In order to evaluate this failure criterion, fatigue cracks were produced in the three different steel grades mentioned above according to user-specified levels of the normalised stiffness. It was found that the fatigue crack area increases linearly and the through-sheet-thickness crack length exponentially with decreasing stiffness. The comparison of the fatigue crack propagation during the fatigue test of the three different tested base metals showed very similar values. The comparability of fatigue tests performed on spot welded joints might thus be improved by the in situ evaluated stiffness as a failure criterion. This can be also used in further work to verify results of computer simulations of the stress intensity factor at spot welds with the help of experimental results.
Die Ermittlung lokaler Werkstoffkennwerte im Schweißbereich ist für die Auslegung sicherheitsrelevanter Bauteile insbesondere durch Finite-Elemente-Berechnungen von großer Bedeutung. Konventionelle Prüfmethoden können lediglich globale Kennwerte bereitstellen, die jedoch gerade für die Berechnung widerstandspunktgeschweißter Bauteile häufig nicht ausreichen, da diese durch das Vorliegen örtlich eng begrenzter Fügezonen gekennzeichnet sind. Moderne Prüfmethoden wie die optische Dehnungsfeldmessung ermöglichen hingegen eine orts- und zeitkonkrete Bestimmung der Werkstoffkenndaten. Um das Potenzial optischer Dehnungsfeldmessungen für das Charakterisieren des lokalen Werkstoffverhaltens von Punktschweißverbindungen zu ermitteln, wurden Scherzugversuche sowie Zugversuche an widerstandspunktgeschweißten hochfesten Stählen durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen das hohe Potenzial dieses Verfahrens sowohl für die Quantifizierung des lokalen Dehnungsverhaltens im Fügebereich als auch für die Ermittlung lokaler Werkstoffkenndaten.
In einem Forschungsvorhaben wurde der Einfluss von fertigungsbedingten Spalten von bis zu 3 mm auf das Tragverhalten der Widerstandspunktschweißverbindungen aus Stählen am Beispiel von HX340LAD+Z (Werkstoffnummer 1.0933), HCT780X+Z (1.0943), HCT980C (1.0955) und 22MnB5+AS140 untersucht. Neben spaltabhängigen Schweißbereichen wurden auch statische Festigkeit, dynamische Festigkeit sowie Schwingfestigkeit betrachtet. Schließlich wurden ein Prozesssicherheitskoeffizient sowie eine Prozess-Festigkeits-Kenngröße abgeleitet, mit deren Hilfe der Anwender das Verhalten der Punktschweißverbindungen unter Spalteinfluss beurteilen kann.
