A combined experimental and numerical approach is applied for a numerical analysis of the non-uniform martensitic transformation kinetic on welding residual stresses and distortion of a single pass weld. The (γ → α)-transformation kinetic within the weld pool region is governed by a non-uniform distribution of the elements chromium and nickel. The single-pass weld was performed by use of the low-alloyed high-strength steel S960QL with the high-alloyed high-strength filler wire CN 13/4-IG®. A thermo-mechanical FE model of the welding process was experimentally validated against temperature field, solid phase distribution, transformation behaviour, X-Ray stress measurements and transient optical distortion measurements.
The experimentally determined and calculated weld residual stresses and transient distortion are in good agreement. It can be shown that the change on the (γ → α)-transformation kinetic driven by the inhomogeneous distribution of the chemical contents causes a strong influence on the weld residual stresses within the volume of the weld pool, which could promote crack propagation within the solidified weld pool by use of high-alloyed filler materials. Furthermore, a significant influence on the development of the transient welding distortion is visible. This influence should be respected during numerically calculation of welding distortion in case of multi-pass welding using interpass temperatures and high-alloyed filler materials.
Micrometric surface topologies are required for a wide range of technical applications. While lowered surface features have been used for many years to improve the tribological behavior of contacting surfaces, there are also other fields of application, where the potential of elevated surface features is known, e. g. for metal forming tools. However, the demand for a high wear resistance of these structures often inhibits an industrial application. A solution is offered by structuring techniques that use additional material. A promising approach is the localized dispersing of hard ceramic particles by pulsed laser radiation, the so-called laser implantation. This paper describes the potential to adjust the geometry as well as the mechanical properties of laser implanted surfaces by means of microstructural and topological investigations. Afterwards, results of a wear test are given and different applications for this structuring technique are discussed. It can be shown that dome-shaped or ring-shaped structures on a micrometric scale can be produced with high hardness and wear resistance.
Welding is the most important joining technology. In the steel construction
industry, e.g. production of windmill sections, welding accounts for a
main part of the manufacturing costs and resource consumption. Moreover, social
issues attached to welding involve working in dangerous environments. This aspect
has unfortunately been neglected so far, in light of a predominant focus on economics
combined with a lack of suitable assessment methods. In this chapter,
exemplary welding processes are presented that reduce the environmental and
social impacts of thick metal plate welding. Social and environmental Life Cycle
Assessments for a thick metal plate joint are conducted for the purpose of
expressing and analysing the social and environmental impacts of welding.
Furthermore, it is shown that state-of-the-art technologies like Gas Metal Arc
Welding with modified spray arcs and Laser Arc-Hybrid Welding serve to increase
social and environmental performance in contrast to common technologies, and
therefore offer great potential for sustainable manufacturing.

Die transiente nichtlineare 3D-Wärmeleitungsgleichung wurde zur numerischen Lösung mittels der Finite-Elemente-Methode im Ort und mittels explizitem Eulerschema in der Zeit diskretisiert. Der resultierende Algorithmus wurde in ein Computerprogramm überführt wobei besonderer Wert auf paralleles Rechnen gelegt wurde. Das Programm wurde auf die numerische Berechnung eines schweißtypischen transienten Temperaturfelds angewandt. Die Rechenzeit und Skalierbarkeit des Computerprogramms bezüglich der Anzahl verwendeter CPU Kerne wurde untersucht und mit dem kommerziellen FEM Programm Abaqus 6.14 verglichen. Die Anwendung der expliziten Zeitintegration resultiert in verbesserter Skalierbarkeit bezüglich der Anzahl verwendeter CPU Kerne und Rechenzeitersparnis gegenüber der in Abaqus implementierten impliziten Zeitintegrationsmethode.
An approach to develop an arc sensor for gap-width estimation during automated NG-GMAW with a weaving electrode motion is introduced by combining arc sensor readings with optical measurement of the groove shape to allow precise analyses of the process. 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 to 25 mm and wire feed rates in the range of 9 to 13 m/min were used in the course of this study. Artificial neural networks were used 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 used as inputs to calculate the gap width. Evaluation the proposed arc sensor model show very good estimation capabilities for parameters sufficiently covered during experiments.
The aim of the present work was to investigate the possibilities of hybrid laser arc welding regarding reliable production of longitudinal welds of high strength pipe steels X80 and X120 and to evaluate achievable mechanical properties of laser hybrid welds. The study focused on weld toughness examination in low temperature range up to -60 °C. SЮТЭКЛХО ПТХХОЫ ЦКЭОЫТКХЬ were identified in the context of this task. It could be shown that metal cored electrodes guaranteed sufficient Charpy impact toughness at low temperature for both investigated materials. Modern arc welding technologies such as modified pulsed spray arc were used to promote deeper Penetration of the filler material into the narrow laser welding gap. Edge preparation with a 14 mm deep root face was considered as optimum, because no penetration of the filler material could be detected beyond this depth limit and therefore any metallurgical influences on the weld metal properties through the welding wire could be excluded.
The process of laser metal deposition can be applied in many ways. Mostly, it is relevant to coating, for repair welding and for additive manufacturing. To increase the effectiveness and the productiveness, a good process understanding is necessary. Statistical test planning is effectual and often used for this purpose. For financial and temporal reasons, a restriction of the test space is reasonable. In this case, it is recommended to use a D-optimal experimental design which is practically applied to extend existing test plans or if process Limits are known. This paper investigates the applicability of a D-optimum experimental design for the laser metal deposition. The results are compared to the current results of a full factorial test plan.
Known restrictions are used for the limitation of the test space. Ti6Al4 is utilized as Substrate material and powder. Comparable results of the D-optimal experimental design and of the full factorial test plan can be demonstrated. However, 80 % of time can be saved by the experimental procedure. For this reason, the application of D-optimal experimental design for laser metal deposition is recommend.
Zur Effizienzsteigerung beim Einsatz von Lichtbogenverfahren für Fügeaufgaben im Dickblechbereich werden häufig angepasste Verfahren mit möglichst geringer Nahtquerschnittsfläche angewendet, beispielsweise das MSG-Engspaltschweißen für I-Nähte. Die Herausforderung für die Automatisierung des Verfahrens besteht neben der komplexen Prozessführung auch in der oftmals schlechten Zugänglichkeit der Prozesszone für optische Sensorik, weswegen verstärkt auf prozessorientierte Sensorik zurückgegriffen wird. Zur Steigerung des Prozessverständnisses und Entwicklung neuer Regelungskonzepte wurde ein Versuchsaufbau umgesetzt, der sowohl optische Messsysteme als auch prozessorientierte Sensorik in einer gemeinsamen Steuerungsumgebung vereint. Die umfassende prozessbegleitende Sensorik ermöglicht die sukzessive Erweiterung des Prozesswissens, welches direkt zur Umsetzung neuer Steuer- und Regelalgorithmen basierend auf Regressionsmodellen genutzt werden kann. Der gemeinsame Einsatz optischer und prozessorientierter Sensorik wurde zur Auslegung eines Lichtbogensensors zur Höhenführung genutzt. Die Versuchsdurchführung mit dem Ziel der Ableitung nichtlinearer Regressionsmodelle erfolgt automatisiert mit Hilfe eines optischen Sensors. Der Vorteil dieses Verfahrens liegt dabei neben der schnellen Umsetzbarkeit in der direkten Korrelation der Messwerte zu realen physikalischen Systemgrößen und der schnellen Adaption auf unterschiedliche Schweißparameter und -prozesse.
Die Reduktion des Fahrzeuggewichts ist ein wesentlicher Ansatz zur Ver-ringerung des Energie- und Ressourcenverbrauchs und damit zur Senkung der CO2-Emissionen im Automobilbau. In der Karosserieentwicklung kann der vermehrte Einsatz von Aluminiumwerkstoffen einen bedeutenden Beitrag dazu leisten. Im preissensitiven Umfeld des Karosseriebaus etabliert sich das bei Stahlanwendungen genutzte Widerstandspunktschweißen zunehmend auch für Aluminiumverbindungen. Verfahrensbedingte Herausforderungen, wie verkürzte Elektrodenstandzeiten und mangelnde Kenntnis über den Einfluss von Imperfektionen auf die Festigkeit, begrenzen dennoch die Weiterverbreitung des Verfahrens und stellen die Prozessrobustheit insgesamt in Frage. Im Rahmen des hier vorgestellten Forschungsvorhabens wurden das Auftreten verschiedener Brucharten experimentell untersucht und Prognosefunktionen zur Abschätzung der Tragfähigkeit von Widerstandspunktschweißverbindungen unter verschiedenen Belastungsfällen erstellt. Anschließend wurde der Einfluss von Oberflächenrissen und Rissen in der Schweißlinse auf die Scherzugfestigkeit sowohl experimentell als auch simulativ analysiert.
