Metal additive manufacturing is often based on laser beam processes like Laser Metal Fusion (LMF) or Laser Metal Deposition (LMD). The LMF process is in particular suitable for very complex geometries. However build rate, part volume and material flexibility are limited in LMF. In contrast, LMD achieves higher deposition rates, less restricted part sizes and the possibility to change the material composition during the build-up process. On the other hand, due to the lower spatial precision of the material deposition process, the complexity of geometries is limited. Therefore, combined manufacturing with both LMF and LMD has the potential to utilize the respective advantages of both technologies.
In this paper, combined additive manufacturing with LMF and LMD is described for Ti-6Al-4V and Inconel 718. First, lattice structures with different wall thickness and void sizes are built with LMF. The influence of LMD material deposition on these LMF-structures is examined regarding metallurgical impact and distortion. Cross-sections, x-ray computer tomography and 3D-scanning results are shown.
For the titanium alloy specimen, oxygen and Nitrogen content in the deposited material are analysed to evaluate the LMD shielding gas atmosphere. The results are used to develop guidelines for a LMD build-up strategy on LMF substrates. With these findings, a gas turbine burner is manufactured as reality test for the combined approach.

Laser-GMA-hybrid welding of longitudinally welded large-diameter pipes of grades API- X80/ X120
(2015)
Potentials of the hybrid laser arc welding processes were investigated regarding reliable production of longitudinal welds of high strength pipe steels X80 and X120
Hybrid laser arc welding of the root pass:
Significant reduction in the weld cross section – savings of filler material
Lower heat input into the base material - improvement of mechanical properties of the weld joint
The arc type does not have any influence on the character of dilution in the laser part of the hybrid weld
14 mm deep root face was considered as optimum. No penetration of the filler material could be detected beyond this depth limit
Metal powder filler wires, micro alloyed with Ni and partly with Cr and Mo, guaranteed sufficient Charpy impact toughness at low temperature for the both investigated materials:
Hybrid laser arc welding is a very efficient process for the root pass in multi-pass welding and opens a large technical and economic potential for the manufacture of large pipes
High power laser welding technology has made a large progress in the last decade and established itself in different industrial applications;
Hybrid laser arc welding is one of the most prospective technologies for heavy components assembling;
Modern high speed video observation, in situ x-ray screening as well as simulation techniques contributed to better understanding of laser welding process;
New approaches e.g. application of electromagnetic fields for melt pool control and welding at reduced pressure ambient have significantly contributed to extending the process boundaries far beyond the known Limits.

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.
The complex microstructure and the advanced mechanical properties of AHSS steel types lead to an increased susceptibility to weld cracking, especially during resistance spot welding under ‘rough’ manufacturing conditions.
Various activities have been conducted in recent years at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) and the Fraunhofer IPK on this matter. Understandings about the safe spot weldability and the process of crack-forming itself were gained, and solutions for handling this issue given.
The performed work includes investigations on the influence of initial gaps as well as restraint intensity. An experimental method for the determination of the general cracking susceptibility, i.e. a material ranking of AHSS in respective to current restraints was developed. Coupled mechanical and thermal simulations of the welding process show the present internal stress-strain-conditions and values responsible for the formation of cracks, deepening the understanding of the process.
By using this easy to perform and material-independent method for the determination of the cracking susceptibility in resistance spot welded joints, small and medium sized companies can profit by rapidly evaluating the joinability of their handled material combinations as well as OEMs.
Manganese alloyed stainless steels represent a cost-effective alternative to conventional CrNi- stainless steels due to strong fl uctuations of the market prices for nickel seen during the last years. In CrMnNi steels, nickel is partially replaced by lower-cost manganese and small amounts of nitrogen for stabilization of the austenitic phase. This also brings benefi ts regarding the mechanical properties, as it results in an increased material strength. Laser beam welding of such materials was investigated for direct comparison with Standard CrNi steels. Main emphasis was laid on fi nding adequate process parameters to achieve a stable welding process and obtain a good weld quality. Two different laser sources, a 4.4 kW Nd:YAG and a 5 kW CO2 laser, were used to weld 1.5 mm stainless steel sheets in continuous wave mode. A high-Mn austenitic (1.4376) and a lean duplex (1.4162) steel, as well as the standard austenitic (1.4301) and duplex (1.4362) grades were selected as test materials. Both butt and lap joint confi gurations were studied. Experiments were carried out systematically, varying the welding speed, laser power and focal point position in order to determine adequate process windows. The infl uence of the shielding gas type and fl ow rate on the process stability and the weld quality were investigated. The effects of weld edge preparation on the weld appearance and quality levels attained were also examined. The obtained welded joints were subjected to radiographic tests for detection of internal imperfections. Also a metallurgical characterization of the samples regarding the resulting phase composition or balance and hardness depending on the welding process parameters was conducted. Furthermore, tensile and potentiodynamic tests were performed to evaluate the mechanical and corrosion properties, respectively. The results provide an insight into the advantages and limitations of the laser beam welding process for joining high-manganese alloyed stainless steels. Conditions for the production of defect-free and corrosion-resistant welds having good mechanical properties could be determined.
In dieser Studie wurde die Heißrissanfälligkeit beim Laserstrahlschweißen für die Werkstoffe 1.4376, 1.4301 und 1.4828 mit Hilfe des CTW Test quantifiziert. Bei den Versuchen konnten Erstarrungsrisse in den Proben generiert werden. Zusätzlich können mit der Bildkorrelations-Technik die lokalen Dehnungen und Dehnungsraten während des Heißrisstests gemessen wer den. In Verbindung mit einem externen Diodenlaser zum Beleuchten der zu messende Oberfläche und lnterferenzfiltern an den Kameras konnten die DIC Messungen ohne optische Störungen durchgeführt werden.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Heißrissbildung bei einer externen Belastung von 3 % für die Stahlsorte 1.4376 zu erwarten ist. Für die Stahls orte 1.4301 beträgt dieser Grenzwert 2 % und 1,5 % für die Stahlgüte 1.4828. Außerdem ist zu beobachten, dass die Gesamtrisslänge mit zu nehmender äußerer Zugbeanspruchung steigt
Die in dieser Studie vorgestellte einfache Probengeometrie zeigt sich in Verbindung mit der
angewandten Versuchs- und Auswertemethodik geeignet, um den umwandlungsplastischen (TRIP)-Parameter K unter Verwendung des thermomechanischen Simulators Gleeble® 3500 experimentell zu bestimmen.
Der TRIP-Parameter K wurde für die Grundwerkstoffe S355J2+N und S960QL, sowie für den hochlegierten Zusatzwerkstoff CN13-4 -IG bestimmt.
Die numerische Einflussanalyse zeigt, dass bei der Berechnung von (Oberflächen-)Schweißeigen-spannungen die Vernachlässigung des TRIP-Effektes kaum einen Einfluss auf die Längseigenspannungen hat. Im Gegensatz da zu resultieren gegenüber dem Referenzfall signifikante Abweichungen der
Quereigenspannungen im und um den Schweißnahtbereich.
Die Verdopplung des TRIP-Parameters K gegenüber dem Referenzfall hat nur einen vernachlässigbaren Einfluss auf die Längs- sowie Quereigenspannungen auf der Oberfläche.
Für eine qualitative und quantitative numerische Nachbildung der experimentell bestimmten Längs- und Quereigenspannungen ist die Berücksichtigung der Größenordnung des material-abhängigen TRIP-Parameters K notwendig.
Build-up strategies for generating components of cylindrical shape with laser metal deposition
(2015)
Laser Metal Deposition LMD) as additive manufacturing process offers the potential to produce near net shape components. This reduces the amount of material and post-processing. The components are composed of individual layers. Already mall irregularities within a layer can add up over multiple layers and lead to error propagation. This paper deals with the issue of build-up strategies to minimize irregularities and prevent error propagation. Different travel paths and the influence of a changing starting point regarding to error propagation are discussed. Different deposition rates between core and peripheral area are detected and successfully compensated by adjusting the build-up sequence. Stainless steel and titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V are used in the experiments. The results are intended to illustrate the potential of an adjusted build-up strategy and provide basic information on the way to an automated deposition process. This paper is of interest for engineers in industry or science using LMD as additive manufacturing process.
The numerical simulations of high power laser keyhole welding at different welding positions are performed by using Volume-Of-Fluid (VOF) method. The main material is SS400. The multi-physics phenomenon is considered using several models, such as the heat flux of Gaussian heat source, the recoil pressure with Clausisus-Clapeyron equation, the Marangoni flow considering temperature gradient, the buoyancy force with Boussinesq approximation, the additional shear stress and heat source due to metallic vapor ejected through keyhole entrance, the bubble formation assumed as adiabatic bubble, and the multiple-reflection by solving proper discriminant, are used. To analyze the fluid flow pattern, the concept of streamline formed by reconstructing the value of the velocity vector is applied.
Partial and full penetration cases at different welding positions are considered. The welding position seems to have only a minor influence on bead formation characteristics in both cases. This is probably due to the fact that the recoil pressure has a major influence when compared to other driving forces. The flow characteristics and fluid velocity in weld pool are analyzed to compare the gravity direction effect at different welding positions. It is observed that the clockwise flow pattern is mainly formed by the recoil pressure on the keyhole surface in the case of partial penetration. The laser energy can't maintain the whole weld pool when the weld pool size becomes too large. And then the solidification starts from the middle part of weld pool and a necked weld pool shape is formed. In the full penetration welding, the weld pool flow patterns are affected by the leakage of laser power through the full penetration keyhole and also by surface tension. Furthermore, the numerical simulation of full penetration welding with AISI316L is also performed to analyze the effect of material properties. The weld bead shapes obtained by simulations were compared with the corresponding experimental results to confirm the validity of the process models adopted and the CFD simulation tool.
Die stetig zunehmenden Anforderungen an Kraftstoffverbrauch, Schadstoffemission, sowie passive Sicherheit haben die Automobilindustrie vor Herausforderungen gestellt, die nur durch einen konsequenten Einsatz moderner hochfester Stahlwerkstoffe zu bewältigen sind. Obgleich eine generelle Eignung dieser Stähle für das Widerstandspunktschweißen (WPS) gegeben ist, kann es durch verschiedene externe Einflüsse im betrieblichen Umfeld zur Rissbildung in der Schweißverbindung kommen. Der Einfluss dieser Risse auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften ist derzeit nicht hinreichend genau erfasst, so dass häufig die Vorgabe einer rissfreien Schweißverbindung besteht. Die Kenntnis der Rissanfälligkeit der verarbeiteten Materialkombinationen sowie von ungünstigen Schweißparametern ist daher für viele Unternehmen von erheblicher wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung. Im Rahmen des FOSTA Projekts P921 „Entwicklung eines Verfahrens zur Bestimmung der Rissanfälligkeit von hochfesten Stählen beim Widerstandspunktschweißen“ wurde ein Ansatz zur Bestimmung der Rissanfälligkeit von WPS-Verbindungen hochfester Stähle entwickelt. Mittels einer hydraulischen Vorrichtung unter Zugbelastung wurden geschweißte, rissbehaftete Proben optisch ausgewertet. Das Verfahren ist geeignet, um ein Werkstoffranking bezüglich der Rissanfälligkeit beim Widerstandspunktschweißen für Werkstoffe aufzustellen.
Experimental study and numerical simulation of hot crack formation for novel laser weldability test.
(2015)
Laser beam welding is a widely established manufacturing process in several industries. The solidification cracking seriously effecting the safety of welded joints could arise during the beam welding of stainless steels caused by high solidification rates. In this study the controlled tensile weldability test (CTW) was used to investigate the solidification cracking susceptibility the fully austenitic stainless steels CrMnNi (1.4376), CrNi (1.4301), CrNiMo (1.4404) and CrNiSi (1.4828) during laser beam welding. The test facility allows welding of specimens with simultaneous application of tensile load along or cross to the welding direction while the speed of tensile force application is either constant or increases linearly. The tensile force increment and/or the displacement are set by means of a CNC controller. Trials were conducted by varying the ultimate tensile strain and cross-head speed while keeping the welding parameters constant. By observing the crack-no crack behaviour and estimating the generated crack length for each trail using a new optimized experimental procedure the influence of the two important conditions (the strain and the strain rate) for the formation of solidification cracks can be investigated, the critical values of strain and strain rate that are responsible for solidification cracking formation have been determined. In the present study a three-dimensional FEM using the contact element technique was developed to simulate the solidification cracking during laser full penetration welding under external load conditions for the steel 1.4376 in order to get a better understanding of the mechanisms of hot crack initiation and the theoretical results were compared to the experimental ones. By comparing the resulting solidification crack with simulated crack, it is possible to determine the critical condition of solidification crack formation in the region where the strains and the strain rates cannot be measured due to the high temperature. The results show a good agreement between numerical calculation and experiment. It is proposed that the solidification cracking susceptibility may be predicted by FEM analysis by using the correct mechanical and thermo-physical constants of the materials.
